I think that’s what really resonated with me: These girls don’t care if they’re making ugly faces, they want to rap, they want to sing, they want to dance. With Wonder Girls and Girls’ Generation, it was about being cutesy, but when “Fire” came out it was all about being fierce and powerful. When 2NE1 came out with “Fire,” I feel like it changed the scene. Of course we can’t talk about BLACKPINK without talking about 2NE1. It’s definitely a pussy-popping song, the gays love it. I think Lisa is one of my favorite members - she is so charismatic and caught my eye. BLACKPINK are so pretty and I’m just gagged. Oh my gosh, when that song came out, I watched the video and saw the dance moves - I was like, “These girls are not playing.” You know?!? But they’re so pretty and, at first, I’m like, “Okay, what are these pretty, skinny girls going to do?” And then I watched the music video I was gagged. At the time, I wanted to marry her because she was the one everyone was talking about - a little gay boy who wanted to marry BoA! 1 album with my own money because I had fell in love with BoA. And like, well, I like myself a lot!īoA, she’s our Britney Spears. But Yoongi, Suga, is my favorite member because everyone always tells me that I look like him out of drag. I think that’s what a lot of successful groups have is a good balance not one person trying to lead the whole pack. They’re good looking, their voices are really good, they have a really good balance as a group. The dance moves, the music, the pastel colors - the whole package. When I watched it, I definitely fell in love with BTS. Before, I knew BTS but I wasn’t really popping off with it. “DNA” by BTS definitely got me into the new wave of K-pop groups. At first, I was Team Wonder Girls but I switched over to Girls’ Generation because Wonder Girls stopped promoting in Korea since they were focused on their American takeover. “Gee” and “Tell Me” definitely changed the K-pop game for girl groups.
“Gee” exploded - everyone was wearing the colorful jeans, everyone was doing the dance. In no particular order, get to know Soju’s top 10 favorite K-pop songs to date.Īt this time, I was looking on the Internet and watching everyone doing the viral K-pop dances.
for a night of K-pop music and drag performances featuring herself and fellow RPDR alum Mercedes Iman Diamond - Soju is here to not only keep the K-pop love going, but educate the children on the history of the scene she holds so dear. With a dedicated YouTube channel as well as her traveling queer K-pop party Seoul Train - which returns to New York this Thursday, April 16. When that started, people wanted to know what I loved about K-pop and that’s kind of the fanbase I have now.” “I realized this is the kind of music I want to perform: I want to become a drag K-pop idol,” she says. Timing was also on her side as the current wave of K-pop stars began expanding internationally as she began her drag career. With the growth of the Internet, YouTube’s popularity, and going to college where she met fellow Korean-Americans, Soju fell back into the scene in the midst of the “second wave” of K-pop artists like Girls’ Generation and BIGBANG.
