I'm a big fan. I loved him form the beginning of American Idol. I admire him even more after this interview. The immigrant story has always held great fascination for me, from Ellis Island to today. Hee Jun said of his journey to the U.S. at age 12, "We all moved to the USA for a better life, better education, of course. Ten years of our life, nothing actually happened. We've been having lots and lots of devastating moments. I just got my green card last year – imagine your life for 10 years without a green card, right? Then this happened. And I'm so glad that this happened."
What a great story and a great guy. Thanks, Hee Jun. You made us all laugh...and think.
