A pop singer recently came out as trans while talking to fans on Instagram Live.
According to GoMag, South Korean pop star Cherry, who previously went by Chae Ryujin, announced she is now a transgender woman during a July 2025 Instagram Live.
“This isn’t a hobby, it’s my life. I’m trans,” Cherry told the audience. “Because I wasn’t an ordinary person, I couldn’t reveal everything from the start. My goal was to take it slow, I’m just going with my goal.”
Cherry rose to fame when she appeared on the reality TV series Boys24 in 2016. While appearing on the show, she competed for a spot in the K-pop boy band that has the same name.
Although she was eliminated from the show, the trans pop singer went on to become a member of the K-pop group JWiiver under her stage name Ryujei. Two years aft
