My WHY
Where we come from matters.
​
Every human longs for safety, security, and belonging -
yet too often, our family stories fade into silence, lost to time or circumstance.
I believe in honoring the past to understand the present and shape the future. The blending of cultures, experiences, and generations deepens our roots and widens our vision.
​
Every family carries a story worth remembering -
stories that reveal who we are, what we’ve overcome, and who we can become.
​Every story matters. Don’t let yours fade.

​​My Family's Story
​This book grew out of more than twenty years of interviews with my parents—first together, and later with my father alone after my mother passed. The story might have remained silent, had I not sought the answers that were weighing on my heart. My curiosity intensified around 9/11, when questions of identity and belonging became universal. Through unrelenting questions, I uncovered not only the untold truths of my own family, but also the larger story of Korea’s devastating division—told through their lives, their losses, and their resilience.

​
At just eleven years old, my father fled south from the northern region before war erupted, never imagining he would be separated from his family forever. What followed was a lifetime of longing. It was only after he had been in America for many years that nine letters from his sister and her children in the North were received, their only fragile lifeline, carrying love, hope, and grief across sealed borders.​But Korea Reunited is more than one family’s story.It's a reflection of the universal human experience: the need for connection, the search for identity, and the power of remembering and passing on what must never be forgotten.​
