He is currently as senior at Drexel University and is focusing his studies on cinematography and documentary filmmaking. His mother is Korean, and father is American. Throughout the 70s and 80s, his parents frequented Jeju-do and often interacted with the Haenyeo. Growing up, Kevin saw pictures and was told stories about the Haenyeo divers. When he was 16, his father passed down his hobby of scuba diving and took him to get his dive certification. After taking his first breath underwater, Kevin knew he wanted to dive for the rest of his life. Kevin is also pursuing funding and shooting for a subsequent film to complete a feature length film.
