LGBTQ+ K-Pop Group LIONESSES Talk ‘Courage’ in Honoring Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey & More Pop Icons for New Single
LIONESSES' "Like Christina Taught Me" lyrics honor Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson while the LGBTQ K-pop stars open up to family like Malrat's cousin, Soyeon of (G)I-DLE.
The first-ever LGBTQ+ boy band to come from the K-pop scene, LIONESSES has been bravely pushing for representation in Korea and reaching the world with its consistent string of all-inclusive anthems like “It’s OK to Be Me” and “Show Me Your Pride” since debuting in 2021. “Like Christina Taught Me” has a bouncy, R&B-pop beat to back the trio’s range of vocals delivering encouraging words and finding comfort in the music of larger-than-life superstars that so many queer kids do. Whether or not LIONESSES tops the charts, the representation and stories that Damjun, Kanghan and Malrang bring in a public setting are important steps in creating a greater music industry and world where all are accepted regardless of sexuality, gender identity or the other aspects that make each human precious.
