Nana Yeongrong Kim (Nana, Kim Yeongrong), who is active as a drag queen, stood in front of a photo displayed at her photo exhibition at The Trinity Gallery in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. In Korea, drag queens are simply known as men dressed as women for performances. However, Nana is a ‘drag artist’ who expresses not only women but also ladybugs, computers, and even bubbles through costumes and makeup performances. Nana, who has been on stage since 2007, has performed overseas in countries such as China and Japan as well as in Korea, but she also faces unfavorable views from people. Behind the glamorous costumes and heavy makeup is a person who, like others, wants to love and be loved.
