‘Coming Out’ Just B Bae In “The Members Knew 2 Years Ago, My Life Was Important”
Just B Baein, who confessed to being a sexual minority, expressed his gratitude to the fans who supported him.
Recently, a video interview with Baein was released on the Hunter YouTube channel.Baein, who came out as a sexual minority during the Just Be World Tour held in LA, USA in April.At the time, he confessed, “I am proud to be a member of the LGBTQ community,” and “I am really happy that I can be myself today.”
In this interview, Bae In said, “Rather than simply thinking about coming out before starting the tour, I wanted to show my honest self.I was able to gain confidence because the people around me were accepting.I was worried that there would be some damage, including to the team or the company, but I was able to ease those worries thanks to the consent and understanding of the members and the company.” “Fortunately, I haven’t felt any damage yet.”
He revealed about the members ‘reactions, “I can’ t say that communication itself was easy.But I just feel grateful and thankful.They support me because I am.Regardless of being a member of LGBTQ community, I was grateful that they supported me because ‘it’s your choice and your life.’”
The family already knew.Bae In revealed, “My mom knew three years ago, and the members and the company knew two years ago.My dad and brother didn’ t know, but it turns out that my mom had recently talked to them before I came out.They knew.”
“You might think I’m talking lightly, but my life was more important.That’s why I chose Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ for the tour.Many fans supported me,” Bae said.”I gained confidence from the thought that my fans would accept me for who I am.”
He recalled, “LA happened to be the last show, and I thought about it for a while, but I thought for sure that if I missed this opportunity, I would never do it again.I thought, ‘Okay, let’s have fun.’ I wasn’t as nervous or scared as I thought I would be.That’s because I already felt like everyone knew who I was during the tour.I didn’t mention it, but I think the fans got an implicit signal just by singing Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way.’ I prepared a comment in advance, so I thought I should do well.It was something we agreed on.”
He said, “At the time, I was in the US, so the atmosphere was very open.The next tour destination, Mexico, was also open-minded, so it was comfortable.I’ve been feeling it a little since I came back to Korea.However, I’m not saying it’s hard; I didn’t have any such worries until now, but I’m having new worries about what kind of image I should show.I feel the pressure, but I want to use it to my advantage and show many good sides of myself.” He continued, “I think that if I work hard and continue to live coolly, I can become someone who can have a positive influence.I’ve decided to just work hard and live honestly,” and “I hope you look forward to my new music work and performances in the future.”
