Gojoseon was founded over 4,000 years ago, after a bear in a cave ate garlic and mugwort until she transformed into a human. Although this legend gives us a statutory holiday in Korea, there aren’t that many street celebrations held for this fabled story. Instead, people around central Seoul’s Haebangchon and Itaewon will be treated to a different kind of celebration: the return of Seoul Drag Parade. “As a drag queen, I gotta say a bear turning into a woman sounds very familiar to what I see in the backstage of drag shows,” quipped Heezy Yang, a drag artist who goes by Hurricane Kimchi, who is a co-founder of the drag event.
