“Okay Bi Queen”: LE SSERAFIM Kazuha revealing her ideal type makes fans happy at her open-mindedness

LE SSERAFIM’s Japanese member Kazuha recently received ample praises and compliments from fans after she responded to a question on her ideal type. At the fansign held on Friday, May 19, a fan asked the 19-year-old singer if she had an ideal type.

Rather than giving a response at one go, the LE SSERAFIM member posed another question to the fan asking if they were asking about her ideal man or a woman. This particular comment filled fans with pride and excitement as they believed that it was an open-minded response.

Considering South Korea continues to be restrictive and sensitive to LGBTQ+ issues, Kazuha’s answer was seen as an extension of her support to the community.

The topic of LGBTQ+, despite being controversial, is slowly gaining more support in the traditionally conservative South Korean society. From two female contestants wanting to take each other out on a date in a dating reality show to BL actor Kim Ji-woong being selected as a member of ZEROBASEONE, the Korean entertainment industry definitely seems to be opening up.

Most recently, LE SSERAFIM’s fandom loved Kazuha’s interaction at the group’s recent offline fan meeting. While it wasn’t explicit, fans believe that the 19-year-old Japanese member indirectly expressed her opinion about the LGBTQ+ community.

At the fan meeting held on May 19, one fan asked the Japanese singer about her ideal type. The singer responded by asking the fan whether they meant a man or a woman and then replied that she prefers someone who has their own opinions.

Fans began calling Kazuha a “bisexual icon” and “a bisexual queen.” One fan even mentioned that reading the tweet was the best day of their life. Many also quote-retweeted the Korean fan’s tweet and asked the Japanese singer to pick them.

Meanwhile, LE SSERAFIM’s fan meeting’s gender demographic was recently revealed, which surprised fans. The fandom had an almost clear half divide between their female and male fans.

One chart based on ticketing posted on theqoo platform showed that the UNFORGIVEN singers had 44.2% male attendees and 55.8% female attendees. Having a nearly equal gender ratio surprised netizens but also indicated the group’s popularity.

In other recent news, the five-member group also achieved an impressive feat by featuring on Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia List for 2023. The quintet recently made an incredible comeback with their first full-length album, UNFORGIVEN, and the titled track of the same name.
