Bains latest/newest post with his members (JustB) is so refreshing + Appreciation Post.

Jun 10, 2025

I have been thinking about how to word this and writing this draft for the last little bit, I basically just wanted to show my appreciation towards Bain and JustB in general after seeing one of his latest posts on my feed. I will also mention a previous thread by a user that I thought did a really good job with explaining who Bain is, who JustB is including suggesting some tracks, which you can find here (https://www.reddit.com/r/kpopthoughts/comments/1k7z4df/introductionappreciation_thread_for_just_b_for/)

Otherwise I first discovered Kpop in 2017/2018 where I followed B.A.P, VIXX, MONSTA X, SVT, NU’EST and others (including solo artists and smaller artists), I personally found JustB because of Yongguk who took part in the groups debut track ‘Damage’. The track is so powerful and just overall well thought out that includes a lot of the members own talents and allow them to shine and are just a really refreshing group in general.

Over the last couple years and realizing myself as apart of the LGBTQ community myself, it is so nice to see more and more artists becoming comfortable in such a different music industry. I fell in love with Holland’s debut, and even (not only was I shocked) but was so proud when the rapper Aquinas came out (he would later re come out as well as he later found out more of himself in the end), and now Bain. I’m a casual listener and supporter for sure and although I rarely use Instagram anymore some of Bain’s latest posts for Pride Month have been so generally refreshing and nice to see!

At first I thought he was quoting the scene from HeartStopper (I don’t think anymore now that I listened to the audio), and goes ‘this is my bestfriend and she’s an ally’ and I just think its super refreshing. Especially with the era we are in now to even just having someone like that is such a positive thing. Its really nice to see to that he has the support around him.
