Recently, a series of photo booth images began circulating online, allegedly showing KATSEYE’s Lara posing affectionately with a man. In one frame, the pair are seen playfully touching tongues, a gesture that has fueled widespread assumptions about a possible romantic relationship. The timeline of when the photos were taken remains unknown, but the intimate poses have been enough to spark heated discussion among fans and netizens.
While dating rumors are nothing new for K-pop idols, Lara’s case has gained extra attention due to her previous statement about being queer, which she revealed earlier this year. Following the leak, some critics accused her of “queerbaiting,” suggesting that she used her queer identity as a means to attract fans, despite allegedly dating a man.
However, many others rushed to Lara’s defense, emphasizing that being queer does not restrict her to same-gender attraction. Supporters pointed out that such accusations often carry elements of biphobia, unfairly dismissing bisexual identities and their validity. Fans highlighted that Lara’s sexuality remains her own truth, regardless of who she chooses to date.
As of now, neither Lara nor HYBE has responded to the growing speculation.
