You’ve mentioned on the show your interest in doing drag in Korea. But if I were to win the show, it would mean that I would finally be able to represent a side of Asian culture and all the kids who felt the way I did, on a nation-wide level. What would it mean to you if on Monday they announce you are the winner?Īs cheesy as it sounds, all of us have already won because we’re on the show, getting the exposure and being able to showcase our talent. On Drag Race, you’re in the finale with two amazing drag queens. So I don’t like to reveal too much and Drag Race brought out a lot of things out of me that I shared with the world. I mean generally I’m a secretive, quiet person. You were pretty open about your personal life and your family, was that hard to do in front of the camera? I have no complaints on the way I was portrayed. I mean I gave my best, so it was in God’s hands ( laughs). Were you worried at all before the show the aired how they would edit you? Or were you pretty comfortable with what you did on the show and felt like it would come off well? But it’s really cool to see my social media blow up and lots of random people the street who recognize me. I’ve seen my friends go on the show like Pearl and Trixie and saw what came with the show, so nothing is too unexpected. How have the reactions been and is it what you expected? Hello Kim Chi, welcome back to the Bay Area! But quickly, her kindness and gratitude made for a warm and pleasurable conversation. When I first met her, it was quiet intimidating as she stands over 7’0 tall and is stunningly gorgeous-even more impressive than on TV.
and raised in South Korea, her unique background has also resonated well with Asian and Asian American audiences.Īn hour before her San Francisco performance, I had a chance to sit down with Kim Chi and discuss her experiences on the reality show, the overwhelming reactions she’s been receiving, and what’s next for her career. Kim Chi, a Chicago-based drag queen, high-fashion model and artist, has built a large fan base with her incredible style and over-the-top looks, many of which are inspired by her cultural heritage and by live-action anime.
Along with two other drag finalists, audiences will find out on the season finale tonight who will win the crown. It’s no real surprise her show was sold out, as her national celebrity status has exploded this year after being a contestant on Logo’s hit show, RuPaul’s Drag Race, now in its 8th season. Korean American drag sensation Kim Chi was welcomed by a large, enthusiastic San Francisco crowd last Saturday at The Oasis in SOMA. Find out on the season finale tonight of "RuPaul's Drag Race" whether Korean American drag sensation Kim Chi takes the crown.
