S. Korean trot singer-songwriter Kwon Do-woon has come out as gay.
"I am coming out as the first gay trot singer. I wanted speak out for the human rights of sexual minorities and play a role in opening the horizon for others in entertainment to come out." https://entertain.v.daum.net/v/20201006082626287">https://entertain.v.daum.net/v/2020100...

It should be noted that it is very rare for people, let alone entertainers, to come out publicly in S. Korea.
S. Korean media are saying it is the first time in 20 years since Hong Seok-cheon that a celebrity has come out as gay, and "the first case in the music industry."

While Kwon is clearly not the *only* Korean personality or singer to be gay, he definitely is one of the only few to come out *and* want to speak out for rights.
