Coming out can be a difficult thing to do, but what better time to announce it than Pride Month?

Megan Meiyok Skiendiel from the girl group Katseye revealed her sexuality during a Weverse livestream yesterday (June 6).

The 19-year-old, who has a Singaporean Chinese mother and an American father, was applying hair extensions with fellow member Lara Rajagopalan. Megan wished her a happy Pride Month during the broadcast.

Lara, who previously came out as queer, responded: "Thank you Megan, you too."

This prompted Megan to whisper: "Should I just do it?" before revealing on the count of three: "Guys, I'm coming out. I'm bisexual."

The two women can then be seen clapping and jumping in excitement.

Back in March, Lara wrote on Weverse: "I knew I was half fruitcake when I was like eight, so I really was wanting everybody. Honestly, probably before eight.

"Isn't half fruitcake such a good way to explain it without saying it?"

The 19-year-old was presented the Blooming Impact Award by the Los Angeles LGBT Centre, and Megan, who presented it to Lara in May, joked during their livestream that she should receive it next year for coming out as well.

"Guys, I came out on Pride Month... so give me that award, girl,” Megan said. 

Lara responded: "Next time she gets the Blooming Impact Award, I'm gonna present it to [her] and be like, 'Hey, I was the first, you were the second'."

Lara then said she was proud of Megan and asked the audience to proclaim: "We love bisexuals!"

"We love bisexuals," Megan said, adding: "And while I'm at it, let me also raise awareness about psoriasis. I have psoriasis."
