Other Stuff You Always Wanted to Know About Me But Were Afraid to Ask

I prefer salty over sweet.

I may look sweet on the outside, but I can be sour on the inside.

Sour Patch Kids are my favorite.

I think about food a lot! =)

My skin is always dry because I have a chronic skin disorder called excema.

One of my eyes are bigger than the other. I know. Thanks for pointing it out.

I fell on the corner of a tea table when I was 3 and cut my head. That's why I have this big red slash on my forehad.

I'll be getting my braces off in June. I've had them for two years. Yes, two years. Yes, that is a long time.

Yes, I'm Korean. 100% Korean.
