South Korea, where Minji was born, is a country which deeply cares about the choosing of a name and its hidden meaning. On this episode, Minji describes the struggles of coming to the United States without an American name, incorrect pronunciations, funny nicknames and missing out of opportunities because people are afraid of getting her name wrong.
