Born as Jaewon, Jae Kwon (he/him) had his name cut in half on the attendance sheet at Olive J. Dodge Elementary of Alabama and decided to go with it. He didn't want an English name, and he didn't want his actual name mangled either. Jae's a creative writing student at Columbia, college consultant, and pocha-server. He provides SAT content on his KZfaq Channel SexyJ (The Hyungs chose the name, not him). He dedicates this Story Slam to his friend 윤희: your dongseng's gonna be famous, just watch.
