"Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" is a musical recounting the stories of two drag queens and a transgendered woman which premiered in Australia in 2006. Reportedly, Jo Kwon will be playing the role of Adam, a gay drag queen and one of the central characters.
Sadly, after Jo Kwon posted a series of promotional photos as the character to his Instagram account, the singer received negative and homophobic comments regarding the images.
"OK, 'Priscilla' is a sensational musical and as you all know I am playing a role that happens to be a gay male," responded Jo Kwon on Instagram.
"It saddens me to see the ignorance in some of the comments that closed minded people left on my personal page but I'm very much committed and in love with this role and proud to be a part of this amazing project! See you guys at the show!"
Since the controversy arose, numerous supporters have also stepped up to defend Jo Kwon and the musical.
He have my full support!
Jo Kwon fighting!
