The Tragic Story of the First Transgender K-Pop Idol

I hate the fact that kpop idols or Koreans in general don't come out and say what sexuality they are, if they really want to that is, all because it might upset or offend fans and other people in the industry. I wish they could say it out loud and proud. Why hide who you are?

Also I know from experience that if you keep it bottled up it can drive you crazy. I was so worried that I'd lose this one particular friend if I told her that I'm bi all because of her religious beliefs but I just had to tell her and she's amazingly happy for me, but Korea is different and some of their views are stupidly backwards and old fashioned.

Although i dont like her or her kind (personal test) but as long as transgender make it public they they are indeed transgender then i am okay with it. The problem is when transgender hides their true identity ( biologically born as man ) and acting as if original girl to fool unsuspecting young man. Imagine you go on a date fine a girl you like, go on a date, instant chemistry, have sex than "IT" confess that "IT" is transgender. If it was me, i will vomit 🤮

Now that's some hot girl shit! 😆❤

Looks like woonkie

Trump would not consider her as a living human being.

This isn’t a tragic story, this is inspiring. Where is the tragedy?

Sanitary napkins lol

Ok, I respecte everything that she accomplished and her persona, but modeling for sanitary napkins?…🫠

Reporting transphobes. Idgaf if you're religious too. 👍🏼

Not spellin her name as hairy sue

سينتهي به الامر شانقا نفسه .يغيرون خلق الله حزب الشيطان لن يفلح ونهايتهم مءساوية😷

No wonder Kpop boy groups look so effeminate and wear girls make up. Most boys are homosexuals.

The only thing that bothers me about this is that she wasn't mentally trans. She was a gay male youth who society taught that because he liked men, the only way to be with a man was to become a woman (as she herself said). If she had been born later, no doubt she would still be male.

Asain needs to affect people in the LGBTQ+ couminty

transgender woman in the ad for sanitary pads? very funny (not really)

There's only 2 genders and people need to accept that.

She is very pretty and some people are just so jealous and mad that she isn't fitting a stereotype of what transphobe think trans people should look like, it laughable, and let alone, they're all super perverted towards her after what she went through and wasn't given protection back then. I really hope we have more open trans idol who can break stereotype who can still make music and do modeling like cisgender-heterosexuals does.

Surgery does not make you a woman. It makes you a man who looks like a woman.

A transgender woman advertising sanitary pads? Isn’t that a bit off?

I hope this person still served in the korean military. You can't get exemption because your trans. If you're born a man you have to serve in the korean military.

What an amazing woman. Despite all of the hardships she faced she never let that stop her from being her true self. I can’t even begin to imagine how she must have felt going through all of the tough times, but she never backed down, she never let the bullies win. She is such a good role model for people going through something similar to what she went through, and for those who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community. ❤

I feel like you shouldn’t legally change gender on your documents. That’s important information that shouldn’t be changed bc sex cannot be changed. That’s biology.

Because of her success, Korean plastic surgery has become famous in my country. Till today.

You will always be a trash channel 🥱

This story shouldn't be labeled as tragic story but labeled as "A Woman Taking Power" because she definitely wasn't allowing folks to take that away from her. I love how she was a huge advocate for the community. And lastly she got her bag

shes beautiful omg

Still not a Woman… Good luck to him tho.

I'm a trans 31yo trans girl and Kpop idols are such a big and important reference to me. Their music and style fuels my days and how I carry myself as a queer person! It breaks my heart every time I think how cool it'd be to have trans idols in the kpop industry. I wish I was younger and more talented to try to audition. I hope more trans people become part of the common scene of kpop soon... 😢

PEOPLE WHO ARE CONFUSED W SCIENCE, BIOLOGY AND THEMSELVES SHOULD NOT BE ROLE MODELS. THEY CAN BE WHATEVER THEY WANT TO BE BUT THEY SHOULD NEVER FORCE ANYONE TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN. SINCE THEY HAVE CREATED THEYRE OWN GENDER, THEY SHOULD CREATE THEIR OWN PLANET TOO AND LIVE THERE TOGETHER W CONFUSED PEOPLE LIKE THEM. WE WILL NOT FORCE THEM TO BE STRAIGHT, THEY SHOULD NOT FORCE US TO THINK GAY.

She's beautiful

She somewhat looks like SNSD's Jessica and Tiffany.

Transsexual is not the same as transgender.

She is so pretty!

Some people in the comment section truly need an education because they have no idea what they are talking about, anyway respect Harisu for doing what she did for her community!

He is a dude

She is amazing! And very strong in character!

we need more trans idols. korea had some progress but has a long way to go

Crazy how cutting your penis off is considered living your truth 😂😂😂😂😂

I am a transgender, I hope this stigma would end and embrace the society with love and understanding ❤❤❤

How about citing the source you stole all your Info from?

She's gorgeous I've been with transgender woman pre op and post op they are some of the most loving people.. I'm glad that Korea is coming along but sometimes the pace looks like more like tectonic plates moving then a modern movement

🎉🎉🎉

Gross.

She is currently 49 years old.

Not respect. I just know man and women. Just that!!

She is so beautiful.
But why are these entertainment companies so evil. I mean I shouldn't really be surprised by now, but I still can't help but shake my head whenever I hear stories like this.

I am so sick of all this twisted garbage. Thank goodness for Trump!

"Felt like a woman"...Woman is NOT a feeling or a custom.

It sucks how it’s considered very taboo just being yourself. I mean if you think you are supposed to be an opposite gender and it’ll make you happy then I say you do you and to say f-off to those who throw hate for you being you. ❤❤❤
