In this episode of Culture In Between, June tells us all about how he adapted to life in the U.S. after moving from Seoul to San Francisco with his family at nine years old. He talks about why he has always liked to challenge his mother’s expectations of him, why he respects Psy more than recent K-pop idols, and how he learned English while playing street basketball.
