I AM KOREAN AMERICAN

Own Words

Things Korean that I love:
K-POP, K-DRAMA, Kimchee, Kim Bop, KIM Bum (actor), KIM Tae Woo (musician), Noraebong, Korean pancake, Ramen, Aloe drink, ALL Tofu dishes, Seaweed Soup, Mandoo, Leek dumplings and Seaweed. Korean Fashion. The sound of Hangul. My current chingos and old chingos. All the Ahjashis, Ajumas, & chingos that I met while visiting Seoul. My bio mother and aunt who I’ve met. The younger sister that I’ve yet to meet. Myself. The view of the sun and moon in Korea is so beautiful.

Things in USA that I love:
Growing up here has given me the opportunity to taste and experience SO many things. E.g.: The best Hungarian foods, Culiacan-Sinaloa exchange program, Momo dumplings and Tigmo bread, dance parties with the BEST Nepal DJ’s, and my relatives from Nebraska farms. My acquaintances, classmates and friends have been from all over the world. I love watching American comedians from all backgrounds. I’m addicted to Minnesota Public Radio. Infatuated with the arts community and political diversity (and overall drive to do better) found in Minnesota. I love the adoptee networks/orgs in Minnesota. As a former gymnast, I love watching different genres of dance . Love my parents, family and friends. Myself. My mother’s garden is the most beautiful garden in the world.

Now: Just returning to school with hopes to go to graduate school and so excited to visit Korea again someday.
