Last year, we reported about queer K-Pop group QI.X shortly after they debuted.

JiGook has been undergoing treatment as they transitioned. They have previously shared duets with their pre-Testorterone and post-Testorterone voices.
JiGook has been outspoken about their struggles with body dysmorphia. Now, they have taken a massive step toward healing and liberation.
During their transition, jiGook has taken self-portraits capturing the progress. Recently, jiGOOK shared four shirtless photos via the group’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, stating in both English and Korean that they are no longer “afraid or ashamed” to reveal their true self.
Been taking self-portraits throughout my transition for about 3 years now. Here’s the most recent one. I might feel like I’m not where I want to be sometimes, but at least I’m not afraid or ashamed at all to reveal just the way I am. Can’t wait to share more
