Her mentioning of Taiwan throughout the competition does more promoting than any other news outlets, the program's global reach is astonishing, best of all, she won with massive talents, humor and great personality.

@atolm1 Месяц назад

I am not from Taiwan but it made me cry to watch this, to see how significant her win really is. So happy for her and the people of Taiwan and Asia, so well deserved.

I love that she moved to the US in 2022 and won Drag Race by 2024. She should win some kind of Immigrant Achievement Award. Edit: I understand she had American citizenship from birth, hence not an immigrant in that sense.

She was born in Los Angeles.

@whimsicalhamster88 Месяц назад

@@tomross4599 Yes, but I believe she spent pretty much her entire childhood in Taiwan. In another interview she said she didn't really live in the US until 2022. She did go to college in the UK as well.
