Bae In (real name Song Byunghee, 23), a member of the boy group Just B (JUST B), has come out as a sexual minority.


On April 22 (local time), during the 'Just B World Tour Just Ode (JUST ODD)' concert held in Los Angeles, United States, Bae In said, "I'm proud to be part of the LGBTQ community."


LGBTQ is an acronym for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning, referring to sexual minorities or people who are questioning their gender identity.


During the performance, Bae In sang American singer Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" and vigorously waved a rainbow flag, a symbol of the LGBTQ community.


This is the first time a male idol group member has publicly come out. Previously, Lara of HYBE's global project girl group Cat's Eye revealed she is a lesbian, and Jiae, formerly of the group Wassup, disclosed she is bisexual.


Just B is a six-member (Lim Jimin, Lee Geonwoo, Bae In, JM, Jeon Doyum, Kim Sangwoo) boy group that debuted in June 2021. The group gained attention last year on Mnet's 'Road to Kingdom: Ace of Aces,' and began their world tour last month after releasing 'Just Ode.'
