How It All Began
It all started with two personal questions:
who am I and where do I belong?
During a particularly difficult chapter of my life, I threw out these questions into the internet with an unpolished video talking about being mixed Korean. Astonishingly, I got some answers. It turned out there were some people wondering the same things. From there the Halfie Project blossomed from a solitary quest about personal identity into a globally spanning project that discusses, debates and sheds light on all questions concerning identity as a mixed race Korean.
These questions are explored through multiple mediums, including videos, podcasts, live speaking, writings, interviews, photography and casual conversations with fellow mixed Koreans. My intent is for the Halfie Project to be a community hub; a place from where mixed Koreans, mixed Korean families and those who want to learn about their Korean roots can draw encouragement and information, a public forum to safely ask questions about difficult topics and an interesting archive that showcases the experiences of mixed Koreans all over the world in an honest way.
The Halfie Project is part art,
part research,
born from the question of identity.
