This was a wonderful piece of Korean Americans and the persistence and struggles our parents went through.
Honestly, any parent deserves praise, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

After a long day’s work, all I want to do is eat something wholesome. Not chocolate or ice cream but actual food.

I remember coming home late at night and stuffing my face with a homemade sandwich like nobody’s business.

I’d be in the middle of this sandwich and milk, enjoying what a sandwich has to offer at 11pm at night, when I felt something was missing…

Like how Aussies love their vegemite and toast,

Why the interest grew

I’ve never been really interested about my Korean background, so it’s still funny that I now am dedicating part of my life to create a network of kyopos all around the world.

When I went to Korea, I always found that native Koreans were fascinated and interested in my because my American accent was, well, American. I never understood this awe they felt for me until I met a British-Korean for the first time. It was jaw dropping.

My little brain couldn’t even comprehend what was going on, but something started inside of me and I wanted more of it.

A space for all

Hello,

I never really was into my Korean background at all. I would’ve thought I’d make a website dedicated to kyopos but here we are.

During high school I wanted to have blue eyes, blond hair, and hated that I wasn’t born this way. Throughout my life, I’ve been called Chinese, Japanese, or the typical ‘Asian’. I hated being called asian, it almost sounded degrading; people would assume I played the piano well. I played piano well because I practiced, but was quickly assured that it was because I was ‘asian’. Right.
