08 - But where is Guatemala?
Description
Meet Ha Yeong Kim and Mingyeong Jun, two childhood friends who grew up in Central America speaking English, Korean and Spanish.
Ha Yeong moved to Guatemala at age 7, as the middle child of a Korean missionary family. After completing high school there, she moved back to Seoul to attend university. She says her style has become "quite Koreanized" since moving back, though the Guatemalan side of her -- big reactions and talking with her hands -- remains very much intact.
Mingyeong was born in Korea and moved to Guatemala at age 5 or 6, and finished high school there before moving to the U.S. for college. She has always considered Guatemala to be her home. She says her passion for people and things is her most Guatemalan trait.
Both friends said their go-to comfort food was tacos!
