Some prefer not be called by their drag queen name when they are not made up, but I’m fine with either. But personally, I believe anyone can be a drag queen. There is a clear distinction between a drag queen and a transgender. Yes, because drag queens are men who perform as women during their performances. Is it true that transgendered people are not allowed to participate in drag queen shows following RuPaul’s Drag Race show? I believe many people here don’t know the difference between a transgender and a drag queen. I looked myself up online and a news agency introduced me as a transgender. We believe that a lot more people will be informed through this opportunity. While you can see more of LGBTQ culture in Korea nowadays, many are still unfamiliar with drag queens. Most of all, I loved their friendliness towards me. Their on stage performances were very professionally planned. Have you met any of the Korean drag queens? To my surprise, though, the drag queen community here is quite lively. That’s why I wanted to bring the American drag culture to Korea and introduce it. From what I recall, it was impossible to see transgendered people or drag queens in the area. When I was 16 in Korea, Itaewon was my playground. When asked about your feelings about the performance, you mentioned it was your wish to be able to perform in Korea. I also wanted to include Gummy’s If You Come Back, actually, but left it out because it was too sad. Because it helped me go through life as a teenager, I wanted to share its charm with the audience. It’s the song I listened to everyday in high school. The song, by a group named Morning that unfortunately disappeared after one album, is called Habit (Seupgwan). You sang a Korean pop songs during the performance. I would love to come back often if situations allow. I don’t know when I’ll be able to see a spectacle like that again. My eyes got watery from watching people scream and enjoy themselves with anything I did.
I felt deeply honored to see all the people who packed the club.ĭuring your performance, you almost cried but held it in.
News about you coming to Korea was a craze on social media. I remember thinking I'd be grateful even if 10 people showed up. I never imagined that there would be that many people. There were lots and lots of people who came out to see you at Club SKRT. But every time I visit, everything feels new. Although I've lived in the US since middle school, my 2 years of high school spent in Korea makes me feel like a native. Here are a few questions she was kind to answer during her visit to Seoul. Having been one of the top 3 finalists on RuPaul’s Drag Race, exuding her unique charm and ways of approaching her identity that is different from any other contestant, Kim Chi has garnered a lot of media attention and love from fans of all ages and genders. That same night, they were booked and continued a successful drag career. She started drag in 2012 when a friend asked if she would like to do try drag for the first time during Halloween. Kim Chi, whose real name is Shin Sang-young, is a Korean-American raised in Chicago who worked as a graphic designer. Her shockingly beautiful presence was creatively redefining the boundaries between femininity and masculinity. Crowds filled Club SKRT in Itaewon giving her a celebrity status right here in Korea, which Kim Chi herself had not imagined. During her recent visit to Seoul, while lip sinking to K-Pop songs, Kim Chi was wearing the exact same red dress as what she wore on the final episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8.
