While Korea seems to be ahead of the times with technology, music, and a lot of things, it is still quite conservative on the topic of sexuality.
It has meant that there are very few openly LGBTQIA+ idols and those within the entertainment industry. Although more celebrities have come out, it is still rare and when they do, they share the backlash they received.
