Future Asian & Pacific History Month: Kim Chi's Inspiring Performance Art

FUSE TV - Future Asian & Pacific History Month: Kim Chi's Inspiring Performance Art

Fuse is celebrating Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month by looking at a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Asian and Pacific History before our eyes. Today's spotlight is on Kim Chi, a fierce queen decimating stereotypes by courageously standing in her truth–all while maintaining one of the most flawless faces in drag.

Kim Chi, born Sang-Young Shin, was raised in South Korea and now calls Chicago home. The 29-year-old drag queen and makeup artist was a breakout star and finalist of hit drag competition series RuPaul's Drag Race season 8. In her own words, Kim Chi is a "7-foot tall, live-action anime character and high-fashion model." Before even being cast on Drag Race, Kim Chi had a loyal following on Instagram where she displays her whimsical, larger-than-life looks. But what makes Kim Chi a part of Future Asian & Pacific History goes far beyond the surface.
