I AM KOREAN AMERICAN

Own Words

hi. i’m ailey, 홍아리 and 洪愛麗.

i am korean-american, not half korean, half american. i’m 100% both. i’m not divisible.

i’m preparing for the future, speaking english, korean and now learning chinese at a bilingual school in taiwan. in 2025, i might be designing your clothes, prescribing your medicine or enabling a more sustainable world. i’m kinda shy though so you might not realize it.

in the meantime, i eat miso with dubu and rice almost every morning. my mom will feed me anything so long as i’ll just eat. i like to ride my bike, inline skate, play with my hamster and watch pirated disney channel shows. sometimes i ask whether i look like miley cyrus but everybody always says, no, i look look like ailey.
