In his TED Talk, David KIm, shares his unique journey as a Third Culture Kid (TCK), grappling with a complex identity shaped by living in different countries. He introduces the concept of TCKs, individuals who spend their formative years in countries other than their parents' homeland, and the challenges this brings. David discusses his experiences in Singapore and Seoul, where he initially distanced himself from both Korean and Singaporean cultures. A turning point came when he embraced his Korean heritage, even facing difficulties in a Korean school.
