After her monumental win, Wind made a quick stop on „Good Morning America” to talk about the iconic show's first Taiwanese winner. „Representing my country is very important to me,” he said. „Because I love Taiwan, and it's very important to me to express that on 'RuPaul's Drag Race.'”

During the final battle, Wind wore a coat adorned with a playful bubble tea pattern, giving a nod to his East Asian heritage.
