Yummy's Korean BBQ owner Sun Choi hopes to introduce more Utahns to Korean culture and languages through Korean classes held in his Orem and West Valley restaurants.
WEST VALLEY CITY — Utah had very little Korean presence when Sun Choi moved to Utah in 2004 to attend BYU. But little by little, Sun hopes to change that.
Sun, whose parents are from Korea, grew up speaking Korean at home. He went on to minor in Korean at BYU and serve a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in South Korea. He got the idea to start offering Korean classes in Utah after realizing that there weren't places in the state for beginners to learn the language.His passion for sharing the culture is apparent during the classes, where he throws in tips about slang, currency exchange, food and more.
Sun has worked with dozens of students, including a handful of Korean adoptees. Sun said the program is a chance for them to regain the culture and language with the ultimate goal of returning to Korea and finding their biological parents. He currently has about 50 students between Orem and West Valley.
Katie Lens listens during a Korean language lesson at Yummy's Korean BBQ restaurant in West Valley City on March 25. "To see her pick up interest in the language and a have such an incredible resource here with Sun and just his passion to share the Korean culture and language — it's amazing," she said. "If you really just want to throw yourself in and be committed to learning the Korean language, this is incredible.
