Describe your background.

I was born and raised in Masan, a small city in southern South Korea. Sadly, Masan has been integrated with the nearby city Changwon and no longer exists. When I was 18, I left my hometown and moved to Yongin, a city located in the northern part of South Korea, to attend university. I stayed in Yongin for about nine years, then came to the United States to study abroad in the winter of 2020.

What is your academic/professional history?

I graduated from Dankook University with a Bachelor of Laws and a Master of Laws from the university’s IT-Law joint graduate program concentrating on regulation of financial technology (fin-tech).
