Mark Wilson
Mark Wilson was born in Seoul, South Korea, and adopted to a small suburban town in Philadelphia at nine months old. He grew up in a two-parent household with a brother who is ten years older and was domestically adopted. Upon entering college, Mark was still trying to find where he belonged. At times he would walk by the table of Korean students in the cafeteria but never felt connected with them. Having housemates involved in exchange programs, he ended up meeting the Korean students at a house party and became close friends with them. They invited him to their gatherings and even talked to him about going back to visit Korea.
Through his adoption agency, Mark was able to take part in a homecoming program to have the chance to go back to Korea and experience work in different locations. After teaching English at academies and pursuing other side jobs, Mark switched over to fully being involved in the radio and broadcasting sector. Since arriving in Korea, Mark hopes to continue to explore his identity as a Korean American adoptee.
