The members of KATSEYE, including Lara, have endured racist comments from netizens.
In a recent livestream, the members clapped back at hateful comments. Upon seeing Lara get upset, Manon and Daniela stepped in to defend her.
This genuinely made me so sad please leave Lara alone pic.twitter.com/t8xIBSmCx7

Hate comments tried to compare Lara to Momo, a creepy internet character with a distorted face.
That’s so stupid. I want to see what you look like, dumb*ss.

racism against indians is so common now and lara is the literal example like what has she ever done to yall for you to be so fucking mean to her

finally getting indian representation in pop and yall just treat her like shit it's so fucking tiring to see indians disrespected so casually everywhere I look and yall love to wrap it up in a 'joke' it's actually so draining I can't imagine how lara feels pic.twitter.com/75UbfQXiSY

However, fans are supportive of the members actively showing their disproval in the livestream as they are speaking their mind and doing their best to put an end to the hate.
lara and manon have been doing what many artists/public figures aren’t allowed to and that’s telling u bitches off. y’all think cause ur hiding behind a fake ass profile that u can say nasty, racist remarks without being called out for it- and have the NERVEEE to get offended

lara rajagopalan (லாரா ராஜகோபாலன்) is beautiful queer indian representation. she’s resilient against the racism toward her, but she shouldn’t have to be. a young girl will see themself in her and we hope they see her dreams coming true, her talent, beauty, passion- not this hate. pic.twitter.com/Dw7lhUt5GT
