I've found some K-Pop groups and soloists who are openly LGBT, and even talked about some of them on here before.

The first one I talked about was Lady, who was the first and only K-Pop girl group made up of all trans women. That post EXPLODED. I'm grateful for all the love that post received.

The most recent one I've talked about is LIONESSES, the first and only (so far) K-Pop boy group made up of men who are openly LGBT, the members are all hidden except for their leader, and one of the members is a drag queen! They're also the first and only boy group I've stanned. (There's a boy group from first gen who I like only because of their discography. I might make a post about them at some point, but it's not easy to find a ton of information about the group itself because of their name.)

I've mentioned that I couldn't find any K-Pop groups, idols, or soloists who are trans men or nonbinary. Well, that has since changed! They are a newer group (they just debuted a couple months ago), and they're the topic of this post!

The group's name is QI.X. They’re the first idol group in Korea with all the members being openly genderqueer as a whole! (I really hope that paints an accurate picture. I don't know how else to explain it. 😅 Please don't hurt me. /srs)

Here they are! From left to right: YOURA, Maek, Prin, and jiGOOK

This is Prin. They're the leader of the group, main vocalist, lead rapper, main dancer, the youngest, and they're nonbinary! They're also vegan!

This is jiGOOK. He is the oldest in the group, the lead vocalist, and main rapper. They are a genderfluid nonbinary trans man. Sometimes they identify as genderless. He is a drag artist and has three cats!

This is Maek. They are the second oldest in the group, the main vocalist, and lead rapper. They are genderqueer. They were friends with Prin pre-debut. They're working at a trans rights organization in Korea called "JOGAKBO" and work at the Seoul Disabled People's Rights Film Festival.

This is YOURA. They are the third oldest in the group and a lead vocalist. They're currently questioning their gender identity and don't want to label themself as of right now. They majored in acting, but they're also interested in traditional arts, music, and movement.

Here's a couple more pluses: They’re independent AND all of them are adults! (Reason why I bring up the second part is because there are way too many minors in the industry and it makes me so uncomfortable. One of my ult groups does have a member who's like seventeen, but the rest of the members are adults. The youngest member of said ult group is not my bias. My biases in that group are all adults.)

Here is a video of them performing their song "Lights Up":
