Hello

Hi! I'm Korean American, I grew up in South Korea and now live in the U.S. I speak English, Korean, Chinese (conversational), and Japanese (basic, enough for simple conversations). I used to edit under a previous account (contribs, pages created) that I retired per WP:RTV, but I decided to come back.

Interests

• Modern Korean history (19th and 20th centuries)
• Korean diaspora
  • Koryo-saram, Zainichi Koreans, Korean Chinese, Koreans in Mexico
• Religious studies
  • Abrahamic faiths
    • Early Islamic history, Islamic sects and related religions, inter-sect relations
    • Modern Judaism, relations with related groups
    • Early Christianity, Christian syncretism, and sects
  • South Asian religions
    • Sikhism, modern Hindu-Sikh-Jain-Buddhist relations, practice of these religions outside of South Asia (e.g. in Guyana)
• Geopolitics
  • Modern Middle Eastern history
• Travel
  • I've been to 20 countries, my favorites are India, Egypt, Mexico, Türkiye, Japan, and China.

My work

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 and that are important or useful for non-Koreans, the Korean diaspora, and historians.

AutoWikiBrowser

You may see me making edits using WP:AutoWikiBrowser. I wrote a number of custom scripts for it (with the intent to be uncontroversial) and manually review each of these edits, although I may sometimes make mistakes. Please post on my talk page if you have any concerns about these edits.

Here is a description of what my scripts do.
