Records
Koko Khalyan joined the subreddit when he submitted an intro video prior to auditions for Season 4. He auditioned with Ellie Goulding's "Starry Eyed." Though he filmed in portrait (a cardinal LSFYL sin), his performance was engaging and energetic, earning him a spot in the Season 4 cast.

Early on, Koko excelled, showcasing his athleticism and dance ability. Voters seemed to send him mixed messages, however. Koko placed high for his acrobatic performance of "Tell It To My Heart," during Win-Over, but landed in the bottom the very next week for his gymnastic "Water Fountain" during Technicolor Week.

The audience seemed to have difficulty connecting to Koko during more subdued performances, culminating in his elimination during Spoken Word week.

After his elimination, Koko would occasionally comment on threads on the sub and remained active in the TinyChat.

When All-Stars was announced, Koko was eager to be a part of it. He auditioned with his iconic "Tell It To My Heart" video and garnered a spot in the cast. He stayed true to his gymnastic and energetic approach, earning a top 5 placement during Story Week and winning the 24 Hour Drag Suicide theme. He finished in fifth place overall.
