Created by DanCherek (talk). Self-nominated at 12:29, 3 May 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Article was nominated within 7 days of creation. Article is long enough at 2358b of readable prose. QPQ has been completed. No pings on Earwigs for copyvio or close paraphrasing. Hooks are cited, interesting, and short enough for DYK; "gained a legion of fans" feels a bit MOS:WEASEL and can probably be phrased better, but ALT1 is good to go.

Nationality[edit]

Hello, I've just made an edit to the page to correct Sharon Choi's nationality from "South Korean-American" to "Korean". This is my first time making an edit on wikipedia so I'm not very aware of the citation/formatting guidelines, but in Wikipedia:Verifiability it says that I may need to provide a quotation of the original source when citing non-English sources, so I am putting it here.

"마음을 가다듬을 시간이 필요하다. 이렇게 주목받을지 몰랐다. 조만간 한국에 가려고 한다."
―한국엔 왜?
"나 한국 사람이다. 한국이 집이고 한국에서 태어나 초등학교도 한국에서 나왔고 지금도 한국에서 일한다."

In my own translation:

"I need some time to reground myself. I didn't realize I would get this much attention. I plan on going to Korea soon."

- Why to Korea?

"I'm Korean. Korea is my home, I was born in Korea, I went to primary school in Korea, and even now I am working in Korea." Z99z9z9 (talk) 07:16, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to me that the reason she is mistakenly known as Korean-American to begin with is due to the lack of publically available information about her, and lazy journalists assuming her nationality. Z99z9z9 (talk) 07:19, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
