Born in Gwangju, South Korea, Daniel Ahn later immigrated to Chicago when he was nine. As someone who helps support his family's restaurant business, Daniel often wrestles with striking a balance between filial piety, cultural expectations, and pursuing one's passions. Today we'll get to listen to Daniel tell his story about the time he was laid off and the resulting introspection that came out of that event. "Promise to Grandma" can also be found as a companion piece on our website: noodleshopmedia.com. This episode was curated by Carmen Zheng, and produced by Kyle Lok.
