Hi everyone,
So my dad’s beauty supply store Uptown Beauty, located in Kenosha, WI, was looted on Sunday night after the terrible shooting of Jacob Blake, and then it got burned down today. Unfortunately, my dad won’t be able to rebuild or reopen it and I am gutted.
My parents immigrated from South Korea in the eighties and my dad has had this store for 25 years. He’s worked so hard to build it up – working on holidays, day in and day out, getting to know his customers and them calling him “Lee”. He loved and cared for that store and I’m honestly so devastated, I know my parents must be, too.
Everyone is safe, which is the most important and we are so grateful. But my heart is still breaking. That store was a symbol of hard work and perseverance, my parents’ love and strength, and it has been a part of our lives for so long. We have so many memories there and I honestly really can’t believe it’s gone. It feels surreal and we’re not sure what the future will bring.
My family and I are going to do to everything we can to support each other, but I’ve created this gofundme (link in bio) because any little bit will help my parents pick back up after this heartbreaking loss. Insurance will not cover all the damage and losses, so anything given here will be given to my parents. They are the strongest people I know, and I know they will get through this like the badasses they are. I’m so proud of my dad for everything he accomplished with that store. Uptown Beauty was a staple in the neighborhood and I know it will be missed.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and in advance for those who donate. Please share this post if you feel so inclined. I know this is a hard time for so many people, so I truly appreciate the support. My parents and I are continuing to stay positive. Jacob Blake was a customer at my dad’s store and our hearts go out to him and his family.

My dad’s store, Uptown Beauty, is opening a new storefront!! Thank you SO MUCH truly to everyone who kept us in their thoughts, sent positive vibes and donated during a pandemic. I am so so proud of my parents and am so inspired by them, not just on this occasion, but every day.
A message from my dad: “I was very disappointed, angry and disheartened when my store got burned down back in August, but knowing that there were so many people willing to help, I decided not to give up and found strength to start again. I am very thankful to everyone and it feels like a new beginning. Thank you.”

Happy birthday to my 엄마!!! If I can be half as kind, loving, gracious, strong and chill as her, I will have succeeded. #사랑해엄마

I was talking about this with @thebravehouse yesterday, which is an amazing nonprofit that helps young immigrant women – THIS TOO SHALL PASS. When you feel low, know this will pass, and even when you feel high, know this will also pass, so it can keep you grounded. Change is the only constant thing in life and I’ve learned we must embrace it 🤗🥰 #thistooshallpass
I miss golfing #golf
a moment of p e a c e
Tears of joy watching this woman speak!! “See yourselves in a way that others cannot, simply because they’ve never seen it before.” Watching our now President and Vice President speak with poise, generosity and hope was so powerful and I think what we all needed 😭 #catharsis #bidenharris2020
