So Laura and Megan. Laura, you shared that you're queer. And Megan, you came out as bisexual. Yes. This is why I love this crowd. It's so supportive. The best. Yes. I love it. I love it. I love it again. Okay. Okay. No, this is not something that we often see it in the k pop worse, though. Obviously, you guys are bigger than that, but not in the k pop world. So what has the response been like? Obviously, we see it in this room. But what do you feel like the response has been like since you opened up publicly, and has it shifted the way that you are moving through the industry as artists? The response has been so heartwarming and welcoming. I've just felt so loved the second that I decided to come out as bisexual. Yeah. I literally could not be more grateful for the response that we've both gotten from everyone, from the icons, from the Internet. I was definitely scared, especially, like, what you said in the industry. It's, like, you don't really see it as often, better, yeah, everyone was so so loving, and I couldn't be more grateful and thankful for better one of you guys. Thank you. I felt like it was important to share that part of myself and you as well. I think that there isn't enough representation, especially in the space that we're in, especially being brown, like, everything adding on to it. It was something that I really, really, really felt like I wanted to and kind of needed to share at some point. Being queer and liking women has always been a very very big part of my identity and something that I've been very proud of and like very sure of my whole life. So I feel like it was kind of necessary to share that and help people. And so many of you guys have told both of us that since, like, you've been able to come out to your families and come out in general and that just warms my heart. That's all we wanna do is help you guys and inspire you to be worse. So I love you. Thank you. You're also very outspoken for trans rights, which is very important. So why is that important to you? Our team is like very diverse too. We work with a lot of people in the queer community no sorry so you know we just we love everyone. We don't think it's there's any shame about anything. We want to represent everyone. We want to make everyone feel represented and know that they're okay just the way they are. So yeah, love is love.
