3: David Park // The Dichotomy of being Korean-American
Am I American Enough?
"When I'm speaking to my mom, I literally don't have the vocabulary to express the depth of my emotion to her." - David Park
Having not been back to Korea in over 17 years, David has always identified as American. But when faced with the world telling him that he's a "flavored American" as he would say, how does that affect his outlook on life and his journey in theatre?
How David grew up in LA (2:41)
David's passion for The Farewell (5:16)
David's really surprising family tree (12:18)
Why David started musical theatre late (20:11)
Why David thinks that Asians are basically Switzerland (30:24)
What career David can model his after (37:19)
And so much more…
How would it be like, living in Korea? (10:36)
When was the realization that being American had so many subsidiaries? (17:07)
What was the real lesson since closing Off-Broadway? (24:37)
What can people stand to hear from an Asian American actor living in New York? (31:48)
