Faye was born to a Korean mom and an Irish dad out of wedlock. In Delaware, inter-racial marriage was illegal until 1967. It was also a place where very few identified as Asian. "We were trying to like distance ourselves from that," he said. "You want to come off as white as you can."Kim was inspired to create Asian American Pie while doing some self-reflection after the pandemic and how blessed he is to be pursuing his passion.
"That path of gratitude led me to sort of realize how blessed I am to be born in this country," he said. "For me and my family, the arts runs really deep.""There's so much pressure around one way of life and looking at things," Kim said. "And I wonder what that's doing to our mental health and I wonder what gifts aren't being shared with the world because of that.
"This is sort of a rallying cry to see who else is out there because I know there's more people out there with exceptional talent," said Kim.Opera Philadelphia Presents 'Madame Butterfly', April 26-May 5
