Korean pride!
Just saying, but in the answer to “What is your favorite meal”, it’s supposed to be ‘kimchi’, not kimch. I agree, though, kimchi and bulgogi are the best Korean foods! YUM! :]
It’s true, not all asians (including Koreans) are good at math. I know I’m not!
It is so awesome to have a club for your ethnicity! Although, I couldn’t join this year due to schedule conflicts with swim team… 🙁
