Growing up, like most other Korean immigrant families, ours celebrated Chuseok each year. Our parents would invite family and friends over for dinner and we’d sometimes play Korean games. But our parents never really explained to us what was Chuseok. We just knew it was a Korean holiday. Maybe they did tell us and we forgot or maybe the language barrier made it easier for them to just celebrate without telling us the reason.
Martin and Rich Lee are second generation Korean American brothers. Martin is a retired elementary school teacher and the illustrator of the strip. Rich is a professor of psychology in Asian American studies at the University of Minnesota and writes the content.
