Hello

Hi! I'm a Korean American male, I grew up in South Korea and now live in the US. I speak English, Korean, Chinese (conversational, increasingly rusty), and Japanese (basic, enough for simple conversations). I used to edit under a previous account toobigtokale (77,173 contribs) that I retired per WP:RTV, but I decided to come back. I also used to use the username seefooddiet but I thought this username was funnier 😅

I'm interested in almost every field of study, but edit mostly on Korea because I think I'm most useful to Wikipedia in that area. I try to edit quickly and boldly, as coverage of Korea on Wikipedia needs significant improvement and the Korean-speaking community on enwiki is quite small. I try to prioritize topics that I think others are unlikely to work on, have sparse coverage in English, and are important.

My other interests include the history of math and science, neural computation, evolutionary biology, religious studies, history, geopolitics, and music theory. I've been to 20 countries; my favorites are Iraq, India, Egypt, Mexico, Türkiye, Japan, and China.

My work

I've uploaded thousands of photos to Commons (old account, new account), almost all about Korea.
