KATSEYE Lara’s Sexuality Sparks Heated Debate Online
KATSEYE‘s Lara has recently found herself at the center of a heated online discussion regarding her sexuality. Fans have pointed to past instances on her TikTok where Lara appeared to confirm that she is attracted to women, fueling the ongoing debate.
The discussion began when fans dug up an old TikTok comment from 2021, where a user playfully asked Lara if she liked women. In response, Lara affirmed, stating, “Yea, I do.” Fans have taken this interaction as Lara confirming that she is indeed queer.
In another instance, she had previously reposted a TikTok about “checking out” girls, further fueling speculations.
Additionally, fans noted that Lara has been spotted attending pride events and even posted pictures and videos from her time there, suggesting her support for the LGBTQ+ community.

However, there has been pushback from other corners of the fandom. Many have argued that since these comments and reposts happened when Lara was just 14, she hasn’t made any further statements about her sexuality as she grew older. These fans feel that it’s inappropriate to assume anything about Lara’s identity, especially when she hasn’t explicitly addressed the topic in recent years.
Supporting doesn't mean being part of the community

Y'all r weird…she reposted ONE tiktok when she was 14 years old and y'all r desperate to put a label on her. If she is queer she will come out in HER time
