Soju drag queen home too soon series#

RuPaul’s Drag Race airs Thursdays on VH1 at 9pm, and drops on Netflix the following day.“Everyone’s been asking me so much and I think they’re disappointed that it’s gone.” She laughed: ‘Everyone needs to know that the cyst is gone, that’s all taken care of, there’s no need to worry.’ Soju will be bringing back her YouTube series, is taking her K-pop drag night (side note – we need to go) Seoul Train to different cities in the US (details available on her website), and will be releasing K-pop music in Korean and English.īut what we all really need to know is – how is Soju’s cyst coming along? That’s something you don’t know unless you’ve been there.’ That 10% is the most entertaining bits, but in the other 90%, there’s real struggle and emotions going around. But now I’ve been in it, the way I review it will be different, there’ll be more understanding of what the queens are going through, because what you see is like, 10% of what is really going on. She told us: ‘Before, I was very naive and very uneducated about Drag Race, I was just critiquing it like a fan and a viewer. Ariel has seen that, I have shown her and now that I have, we’re great friends.’Īnd after spending a brief time on the show, Shot With Soju will definitely be changing when it returns. But when queens and producers work with me, they know I’m an entertainer and I earn their respect. I don’t have a problem with them questioning those things, because at the end of the day, I’m quite new to the scene and I rose to fame quite quickly thanks to my YouTube series, so I’ve always had to prove my worth. Something that Ariel said was that something I’ve always experienced from other queens. ‘I think the pressure was from myself because I knew the fans were expecting great things from me, because I had a fanbase.

Competitor Ariel Versace called her out for her vlogger fame, questioning whether she was an entertainer – something Soju was expecting.

Soju entered the season with a fanbase already, as she hosts the YouTube series Shot With Soju, on which she reviews Drag Race. I did cry when they said those things to me, because at least they got to see that.’ To me, that’s my selling point – I am a very genuine person who wants to entertain people and make people smile, and also educate people about my culture in a fun and artistic way. They loved my hair, they loved my make-up, they loved my personality.

‘They all said positive things about my drag. The construction was really messy and I think that was the main problem. ‘At the end of the day, I could have given the same silhouette and if the construction better, I’d have stayed out of the bottom two.

I always have to explain why my food smells this way, why my house smells this way, why my parents reacted to my grades this way. The 27-year-old said: ‘I wasn’t disappointed because I’m used to having to explain my culture to American people. Her look was criticised for being shapeless, but Soju is more than used to having to explain her Korean style of drag.
