We are Koreans in Washington passionate about sharing the stories that shape us.

The KORE Team

Jayden Park
Founder/Director

안녕! 반가워!

My name is Jayden (요한). I’m a junior at Interlake High School. I created KORE because I wanted to connect with other Korean students living in Washington State.

If you are a Korean student living in Washington, you are welcome here. I hope we can share stories and experiences we can all relate to, and build meaningful connections together.

우리 자주보자!

Olivia Park
Managing Director

Hello! I am Olivia, an upcoming junior at Interlake High School. I lived in South Korea for over 10 years, and I am very passionate about Korean culture! I have volunteered at USBKS and KORAFF, and I love binge-watching K-dramas. I'm excited to share knowledge of Korean culture!

    Hi! I’m Kristy, KORE Project’s advisor. I am currently a second-year law student at the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, but I was born and raised in Washington state. Hoping to learn more about my culture and the experiences of Koreans in American society, I minored in Asian American Studies at Northwestern University. I’m excited to advise the team and look forward to seeing you build meaningful connections with other Korean Americans and our culture!
