Sahang-Hee Hahn
Biographic Sketch
Sahang-Hee Hahn was born in Seoul, South Korea on August 3, 1983.
She moved to the U.S. when she was three years old, where she began her
education. She is currently 17-years old, entering her senior year at
Radnor High School, in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. She has been a Distinguished
Honors student during her years there, and is a member of the National Honors
Society. She is an active member of Radnor High School's ASA (Asian Students
Association). Being an attorney for RHS's Moot Mock Trial Team, she has
been given both the Best Advocate and Best Witness award for her school. She
is currently a full-time anchor at the school's Television Studio, Channel 16.
An avid reader and writer, she writes prose and poetry in her spare time. She
is also interested in cross-cultural issues, public speaking, journalism, and
her projected major(s), Broadcasting and Pre-Law Studies, are related to
those interests. A junior member of ICAS, Sahang-Hee Hahn has previously spoken at the
Summer of 1999 ICAS Symposium, where she addressed the identity issues of
Korean-American youths. A discussant for the first time at that symposium,
she defined the several social group categories in which most
Korean-American teenagers tend to fall. She also explained the cause of the creation of
these cliques, and touched upon the resultant tension between these
groups, as well as the tension existing between 1.5 and 2.0 generation
Korean-American young adults. Offering the perspective of a 2.0
generation teenager on the future of Korean-Americans, she is interested in the
cross-cultural issues affecting Korean-Americans her age today. The
Summer of 2000 Symposium is her second opportunity to speak publicly for
ICAS.
