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.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Pop, Ballads. I am not a big fan of k pop. I like some Korean ballads. I like 80's and 90's english songs compared to todays. I like ballads they are soothing to listen to. There are a few songs I know of and like that came out recently.

Movie: Some of movies I watched recently are, downsizing, green inferno and pet. Not into particular genre of flims.

Books: I don't read many books. I read and studied books in English class in years 11 and 12 in Australia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my 13 years of stay in Australia I went back to South Korea a few times. And I was able to make some parallel between the two countries of which whose culture and background are considered different.
