Bio

Grew up playing The Club at Nine Bridges which later became the host of THE CJ CUP @ NINE BRIDGES.

Never uses #4 golf ball because the number is a symbol of bad luck and sounds similar to the word "death" in South Korea.

Favorite foods include pizza, hamburgers and pasta.

Played junior golf tournaments with Si Woo Kim in South Korea growing up.

First came to the United States in 2017 to compete in the second stage of Korn Ferry Q-School
