In an interview with mujerhoy in 2018, Corberó explained why she considers herself a feminist.
"The grand battle [for women] is that maybe we need things to balance out a bit more so it can be equal. That's how I feel. Sometimes I hear people say 'It's that everyone's going overboard with feminism' and I think it's necessary because it's been so unequal for such a long time that it's necessary we go overboard a bit.
Úrsula Corberó is a member of the Beyhive.
