“We have an American family, we have an American business, and we participate in the Korean American community with relatives affiliated with government too.”
We love America, and America should reciprocate our love. “We, Americans, shouldn’t be hurting each other.”

My lifespan has been reduced to mere days. Despite this, there have been numerous medical and societal discoveries and advancements that owe their existence to me. I want to live as long as I can and be treated with dignity. I’m not a source of entertainment; I’m a human being.
I have the freedom to think about whatever I please, and no one should judge me based on my thoughts. I should never be hurt for my thoughts.

Lisa’s birth date:
I had always wanted a sister, but my parents kept her gender a secret until she was born. I wanted to teach her everything I knew and guide her through life.
Skiing at Northstar:
We went skiing every year, and we would eat Einstein bagels in the cafeteria. Komo even taught us to use walkie-talkies, which saved us a few times.
Birthday at Auntie’s house:
I loved visiting Auntie’s house, especially on my birthday. I always felt so special and loved receiving so much attention.
Pyramid of cousins
Piano (Liszt concert):
I visited New York to play piano at a Liszt convention held at the German cultural center.
Saved a woman from domestic violence:
I invited a couple to my home for dinner. The woman was being abused by her boyfriend. I stepped in and told him that he was banned from my home. I took a couple of blows to the head, but I made sure he left.
“If anyone hurt Lisa, I’ll hurt them.”:
I thought someone was bullying Lisa, so I told my mom and Lisa that I would get revenge if anyone hurt her. I put my fist in the air.
SANS Book on the couch, on the computer:
I tried studying, but my memory kept getting erased by bad actors. They didn’t want me to learn, and the more I improved in life, the more brain damage I suffered.
Parody license:
I was exercising my creativity when I created the “parody license.” A lot of people saw it, and it kinda became a meme.
ICE Standard site, card ordering system, PHP:
I learned a lot of PHP while working on the Icestandard site, card ordering system, and other projects.
Photography:
I turned my hobby of photography into a business. I provided services to student organizations on campus. I originally got into photography because I wanted to post eye candy on Facebook.
NCBI, naltrexone:
I often referred to the NCBI website for information. I liked reading the abstracts and conclusions of the research papers.
Meh GitHub repo:
I created a GitHub repository called “csience.”
The night T talked to me:
Despite being stressed out from the bad actors, I enjoyed hearing T. talk to me.
Recovered money for Amanda T.:
I helped Amanda T. recover some money that she had lost.
She was targeted by a con artist who conned her into giving up all her savings. I found the con artist’s address and contacted a lawyer. We drafted a letter and sent it, and the money was recovered.
It was a perfect English day
I tried to breakup with Sohyeong, because I wanted to pursue Amanda. I made some rules for myself when it came to speech, and I followed it to a tee. I was getting antagonized and I was hurt by bad actors in the Broca’s area after a couple of hours of talking.
I made America look good; Y*
dinner with my dad at Baekjong.
I promised my mom not to drink again.
I was making good decisions.
Trying to save my ex in the hospital:
I tried to pay for her medical bills so she could leave the hospital early and receive speech therapy back in her home country. I visited her every other day and made sure was cared for.
I had a conversation with R.R. in the hospital.
It was one of the most engaging conversations I have ever had.
Sister Margaret
Sohyeong over coffee at Willow Glen:
I was being antagonized back then, but I made sure to communicate my thoughts fluently. I talked to Sohyeong at Santana Row again. I was being antagonized once more.
I wrote an essay in the car about my mom.
She’s a strong woman who raised my sister and I. She’s been through so much in her life. Refer to the “letter.”
I wrote a note to my former friend telling him not to drink anymore.
This is the same guy who abused his girlfriend. I wrote a letter to him in Korean, saying that he needed to stop and that I cared for him. He just threw it away.
I went to couple’s counseling:
I wanted to use this opportunity to reunite with my ex at the time. I wrote a letter to her, and we all became emotional as I read it in front of her and the counselor.
I went to the Beatles “Love” show. Ka show was better, but I enjoyed watching the show with my girlfriend and parents at the time.
Sohyeong was crying in the car before the waterpark. I said, “Don’t worry, I’m here for you; no need to think about the past.”
I swam for my mom because she was suffering from breast cancer at the time. That motivated me to push myself past my boundaries. The more I swam the healthier she became. That was the mindset I had.
I was a toddler at the time, and I wanted to join my cousins.
I banged on the door, but they wouldn’t let me in. But, they let me sit in the middle seat of Teddy’s new M3.
German American Business Association PoC:
Devan and I presented a prototype design that was printed using nylon and fiberglass.
St. Cecilia’s Church baptism:
I don’t practice, but I still identify as a Catholic.
Before mass, I was coughing so much that I thought, “Maybe if I prayed, I could stop this cough.” I knelt on the pew and prayed to God, and my wish came true.
Mind over matter.
I was a perfect cursive writer at Cupertino Middle School and participated in speech and debate. However, I didn’t follow the format and kept asking questions to my opponent. Mr. Coleman didn’t intervene and seemed amused.
Instead of smoking, I started meditating every morning.
I took advantage of the time when people smoked on the rooftop and used it to meditate for 20-40 minutes. I focused on my breathing, kept my back straight, and cleared my mind.
I tried pho for the first time with my parents instead of Taco Bell. The broth had a funky smell, but after a few years, I finally gave in and tried it. I regret not having tried it sooner.
I also tried sushi for the first time at Todai Daly City. I didn’t find raw fish appealing at first, but now I love toro and salmon belly. I can eat it everyday.
I spoke in Korean so well in regards to money and stocks.
People were humbled and bowed down to me as a sign of respect.
I ran up the stairs with Lisa at Park Merced.
Lisa and I challenged each other to climb up and down the fire escape stairwell at Park Merced. It was a great workout.
The day dad explained his litigation situation on the way to Pismo Beach was quite eventful.
My Russian neighbor, Vladimir, complimented my piano skills.
It was hilarious when my peers cheated off of me.
I received a Harry Potter book for Christmas.
Bracelet lost at the library:
gold bracelet a gift from my mother, became my lucky charm. Whenever I wore it, everything seemed to go my way.
I always wanted to go to the same school as Lisa because I wanted to take care of her. I wanted us to attend the same high school, but that was impossible because we were four years apart in age.
I wanted to guide her.
I bought her first iPhone
“Radio waves are a substance,”
Teaching physics while drunk (2016)
The whiteboard
A plan of what to learn in order to become a competent hacker
Drinking with Lisa in Hongdae
We made a trip to Hongdae and ended up getting dinner with some beer. It was great sibling bonding time.
고모 picking me up from the airport
Ice cream with Sohyeong after BCD
Dead sunflower in the bathroom.
When I was young, I grew a sunflower in my room. I tended to it every day and had a deep emotional attachment to it. When it died, my mom told me that everything has a limited lifespan. I bawled, bawled, and bawled.
Panther beach with Sohyeong
Dad carrying me back home because I didn’t want to walk; I faked being asleep
I was spoiled🙃
Reminding dad that we care about him; not to smoke anymore.
I enlisted Lisa to help make a poster for our dad. The poster said not to smoke.
Amanda’s board says it all.
“Encore!” “Bravo!” (1990’s)
Auntie’s praise never gets old.
“50 years”:
"And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32)
Seokheon took my feelings for the SMV paper, code review, etc.
#etc:
Rao’s dream
“Ethics”
“attribution”
“He (my grandfather) talked to really high up people in China” R.R. said. My grandfather was the first Korean to undergo cloning, testing, and public disclosure by the Chinese.
Going through Jimin’s memory; I knew thermodynamics
There ars 5 genes that determine intelligence; I have 4/5 genes,
Rao has 4/5, Mr. Moon has 5/5, B.T. 0/5, mother has 4/5, dad has 4/5.
Eunjung forced my family to lose $1,000,000.
Key Conversations:
Los Gatos
Daechi-dong
La Jolla
There’s no reason for you to hurt me. I love my family, and they reciprocate my love. However, my family has been subjected to defamation and violence, which is not entertainment. This is an innocent American family that has been subjected to experimentation and torture. Let us be. We don’t have much time left to live. I want to be free from all these clones and their owners. I spend 23 hours a day slaving away without any compensation.
Jimin and Eunjung have damaged a significant portion of my hippocampus and frontal lobe, resulting in the loss of fundamental knowledge in various subjects. They have also fabricated false information about me, even deceiving the CIA. These individuals are psychopaths who lack empathy for human life. They have attempted to eliminate my family. My legacy must survive. My grandfather was the first Korean to undergo cloning, testing, and public disclosure by the Chinese. I was the first American to be subjected to 13 years of monitoring and four years of torture.
For 23.8 hours a day, I work, and unfortunately, I do so for free. As an American citizen who has been wronged, I need space to heal. I was a victim of human trafficking for ten years, and I require time to recover from the mental and physical torture inflicted upon me by individuals who have since been “ablated.” I was in the hospital, striving to recover and extend my lifespan. Each day has been challenging, but I am trying my best to remain positive.

We came to understand the dire state of my mind and health and the extent of the abuse he endured.

“Without me, I don’t have you. The decisions I made in life are the decisions have made. We have changed for good. You exist because of my decisions. Keep on iterating and stay positive. I love you.”
Eunjung and Jimin killed my grandmother.
I did nothing to you. I never lied to you. Eunjung lied to you, and laughed at you too. She attempted to sex-traffick my seven-year-old daughter too. I’m trying to be cordial with you. I want peace and quiet. I have done nothing to you.
I love my family, and I need to stay alive as long as I can for them. I want to live a long life and thrive. I am sure you know the importance of family too. Family is everything to me too. I love this only life I have left to live. Understand where I am coming from. I have a family and daughter that I care about. I need to be there for them. I have done nothing to you. My mother, father, sister, and daughter need me.
E.J. skillfully manipulated you. She lied to your face, attempted to sex traffick my daughter, sold drugs to children, took credit for my ideas, implanted insidious ideas into people who loved me, “killed” five people, stole money from wealthy individuals, believed that everyone should suffer from AIDS, killed my grandmother on my father’s side, gave my other grandmother dementia, and committed suicide.
I don’t lie to the CIA.
