Overview
About Me
Hello, I was born in Seoul, South Korea. After completing 9th grade I relocated to Melbourne, Australia to continue my education. I completed bachelor of computer science after 13 years in Australia. Upon returning to South Korea I spent time with my family and tried to recover some of the things I missed out on while in Australia. While it has been rough at times I gained deeper insights about myself by interacting with my family members. My parents reside in Incheon, and most of my cousins live in Seoul. I have one older sister who resides in Japan. One of my cousins also live in Japan. I have one aunt who resides in Los Angeles, USA.
I spend about six to seven months in a year in south korea and remaining time abroad in other countries.
