ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Like many South Korean singers, the members of QI.X want to be K-pop stars. What makes them unusual is that they are proudly out — in their music, their relationship with their fans and their social activism. The group’s members — jiGook, Prin and SEN — call themselves one of the first openly queer, transgender K-pop acts, and their mission has as much to do with changing South Korea’s still-conservative society as with making music. In the group’s name — pronounced by spelling out the letters — Q stands for queer, I for idol and X for limitless possibilities. Very few K-pop artists, or South Korean entertainers in general, have ever been open about being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer. Though the country has become somewhat more accepting of sexual diversity, homophobia is still prevalent, and there are no legal protections against discrimination.
