A 1.5 Generation Korean

Hi everyone! My name is Haesol Jun, and I look forward to getting closer with all of you this semester.

I was born in Seoul, Korea and came to the U.S. in 2002. I believe it was a crazy decision since it was after the 9/11 tragedy, but I’m here now! I live currently in Queens with my parents and my little sister, whom I came here with 9 years ago. This makes me a 1.5 generation Korean, which makes me unique in this class. I hope to learn a lot about immigration in this class for it is a very significant issue in this country, New York especially, and is a personal matter as well.
