Courtesy of VH1Īhead of the series premiere, Newsweek chatted with the Seoul native about her future after the show, and Soju was confident her exit wouldn't be the last of her fans would see. In an interview with Newsweek, Soju revealed everything she was working on despite her elimination from 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' which premiered on VH1 on February 28. Kahanna's unexpected back flip during her lip sync performance of Cyrus' Hannah Montana theme song, 'Best of Both Worlds,' ultimately resulted in Soju getting sent home first.ĭespite being eliminated first, the Korea-born 27-year-old said her goodbyes with high spirits, telling cameras that she'd continue to push forward in her career and use her platform to expose Korean and K-Pop culture here in the states. Their unimpressive performances and lackluster costumes led to the queens battling it out in the Lip Sync For Your Life challenge. Then there was the bottom two, K-Pop queen Soju and Viva Las Vegas queen Kahanna Montrese. Some of the new competing queens 'annoying' and 'obnoxious' behavior garnered side-eyes from a lot of the castmates (looking at you Silky Nutmeg Ganache) while nerves, unpreparedness and ailments seemed to get the best of others. Of course, there wasn't a lack of drama even in the series premiere. She was also a pleasant and encouraging addition to the judges's panel along with series regulars Ross Matthews, Michele Visage and Carson Kressley. Pop star Miley Cyrus even gave the queens the thrill of their lives when she showed up in the workroom disguised as a crew assistant with a beard and all. The energy was high from the very start, with a plethora of new queens ready to slay and win host, judge and show creator RuPaul Charles's favor. RuPaul's Drag Race started with a bang for the Season 11 opener on Thursday night.
