KATEYE‘S Lara has recently found herself at the center of a heated online discussion about her sexuality. Fans have pointed out past instances on her TikTok where Lara has appeared to confirm that she is attracted to women, further fueling the ongoing debate.
The discussion began when fans dug up an old TikTok comment from 2021, where a user jokingly asked Lara if she liked women. In response, Lara affirmed, saying, “Yes, I do.” Fans took this interaction as confirmation from Lara that she is indeed queer.
On another occasion, he had previously reposted a TikTok in which he was “checking out” girls, further fueling speculation.
Additionally, fans have noticed that Lara has been spotted attending Pride events and has even posted photos and videos of her time there, showing her support for the LGBTQ+ community.

As conversations about her sexuality reignited, some fans accused others of ignoring the fact that Lara has been “open” about being queer for years. This sparked quite a debate, especially since some fans had speculated about the sexuality of other KATSEYE members.

Who will tell people that Lara is bisexual and that she has participated in gay pride parades in the past?

However, there has been some pushback from other corners of the fandom. Many have argued that because these comments and reposts occurred when Lara was only 14, she has not made any further statements about her sexuality as she has gotten older. These fans feel that it is inappropriate to assume anything about Lara’s identity, especially when she has not explicitly addressed the topic in recent years.
Supporting does not mean being part of the community

Y’all are weird… she reposted ONE tiktok when she was 14 and y’all are desperate to label her. If she’s queer she’ll come out in HER time
