Went viral for his unorthodox swing, better known as the "fisherman's swing."

At 19 years old, had his right thumb cut off by a chainsaw. The finger was reattached through a skin graft.

Was introduced to the game of golf at the age of 25, when he took a part-time job at a golf course in Anyang, South Korea.

Earned a sponsor exemption into the 2019 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am for his PGA TOUR debut. Had never been to the United States prior to that event.
