Jo Kwon and Priscilla

Hey y'all! Almost the end of my semi-hiatus~

But I was curious: Did anyone see Jo Kwon's announcements/reveals on Instagram that he is going to be in the musical Priscilla, Queen of the Desert?

I'm totally and completely freaking out for two reasons:

1. If this isn't Jo Kwon coming out, I don't know what is. Jo Kwon is one KPop idol that I have no doubt is gay. I am not sorry for anyone that disagrees with me because you cannot change my mind.

2. KOREA is doing PRISCILLA. Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is about drag queens, transuals, homouality, and homophobia. Korea is extremely homophobic but they're letting Priscilla be preformed. I think that's really really amazing in and of itself!!

My mind was blown last night when I found out! I mean honestly a straight man who lives in a pretty homophobic society wouldn't just take on this role randomly so I'm proud that Jo Kwon has taken up this role he really seems to like, but also I feel like this is a big step for Korean media to allow something like this to be showcased.

I'm just really really happy and excited! I mean, I really wish I lived in Korea now. It already wasn't bad enough that Baekhyun, Kyuhyun, and Onew got cast in my favorite musical as well...

I need a ticket to Korea ASAP! Preferably in July and hopefully both plays are running!
