“I’m not white enough to fit in here in America, and I’m not Korean enough to fit in Korea.
My father’s side of the family is where I get my Korean. I knew that there was an entire half of where I came from that I didn’t know.
The first time I went to Korea just happened. My grandparents were living in the United States in the early 1900s. My grandmother sent money to the independence movement for Korea. She wanted to be buried in Korea. That was her dying wish.
Last year, we exhumed the remains, and the next day I was on a plane to Seoul. I had one man come up to me. He was part of the movement, and he had tears in his eyes and he shook my hand and said, ‘You are my family. You’re my family now.’
My tears welled up in my eyes too. I was like… ‘Yes. I’m your family.’
