Hello, I’m Haegon. I grew up in Korea and moved to the US in December 2011 with my wife and two daughters. I was 30 years old at the time, and my original plan was simple: finish my studies and return home. But life took unexpected turns, and we ended up building a new life here. As a first-generation immigrant, the journey has brought many ups and downs, but each season has taught me something and helped me grow. Since 2019, my family and I have called Charlotte, North Carolina home. I travel and read. I write from time to time and roast my own coffee. My goal is to share good things with others and to keep growing into what we call in Korean a 좋은 어른 — a good adult: someone who lives with wisdom, generosity, and a desire to create better opportunities for the younger people around me.
