"When I first came to the US, I was surprised about Korean stores, but they didn't have very many." Se-Youn Kim left Seoul, South Korea, seven years ago in January of 1996 and came to the United States with her brother and parents. "These days, everywhere you go in Annandale is Korean!" While Annandale does have a high number of Korean establishments when compared to surrounding towns and cities, Se-Youn says the west coast contains even more Korean cultural influence than Annandale. "In Los Angeles they have way more Korean places everywhere. There are places you don't even need to speak English to get around."
Se-Youn is a diligent student. She plays the violin and piano while maintaining her academic obligations to the school. "My parents used to be really strict with my brother so I learned a lot just from watching him." Se-Youn's brother goes to Virginia Tech and is also an ardent student. Pressure, however, is not as hard regarding academic family matters. "My parent's aren't really strict about grades. I consider myself very independent."
Se-Youn frequents a Korean restaurant, "Joong Hwa Won", at least three times a month with her friends from church. "Joong Hwa Won" is located behind Popeyes on Little River Turnpike. "I usually get "bok um bab". I guess that's fried rice with lots of stuff in it." She says with a grin. Se-Youn says she gets most of her Korean culture exposure from home. "Personally, I'm not into all the Korean music and movies like a lot of other people are." Korean musical artists such as Y.G Family and Drunken Tiger get a significant portion of their sales from Korean-Americans. "All the culture is still at home though! Like taking off your shoes before you go in the house, that's a must."
