About

My interests changed drastically throughout high school. I used to prefer math and computer science, attending math competitions and hackathons (I still do) for fun. After taking AP Biology during my sophomore year of high school, I grew fond of life sciences. A few history courses and experiences, such as interning at KACE (Korean American Civic Empowerment), also developed an interest in politics and policymaking. I am only entering my senior year of high school, so I am excited to discover new, intriguing topics and areas.

My photography journey began the summer right before high school, when I visited Korea to see my grandparents. Looking through their old belongings, I found a point-and-shoot film camera from the 90s, and I have been taking photos ever since.

I prefer to take photos on 35mm film, but I also use a DSLR for traveling or events where I need to take more pictures. I take mostly street and landscape photography, but I would like to get into portraiture.

Being influenced by my cultural background and upbringing, I am also interested in East Asian Calligraphy. I originally learned from my grandfather, who has a lot of pieces around his house, and reads and writes frequently.

The piece on the right says 盡人事待天命 ("Do all the work of man and wait for the command of heaven", or "Man proposes, God Disposes"). Words like these keep me going sometimes.

I grew up playing hockey in Korea, but I ended up quitting after moving. After hockey, I didn't play many sports other than lunch and PE soccer in school.

Eventually, I made a commitment to try out for the school team in high school, and it's been an entertaining yet humbling journey so far. With opportunities such as leading as a captain, high school soccer has been an unforgettable experience, and I'm excited for this upcoming fall season.

Growing up in Korea also made me a big baseball fan, and I still continue to watch KBO (Korean Baseball Organization) games today. Somehow, I also gathered enough courage to try out for the school baseball team in my Junior year, jumping into a new sport without any prior experience. It has been one of my best decisions in high school so far, to try something completely foreign and unfamiliar. I also casually lift.
