Go ahead. We’re here with Michael Kim and Max. Great win first of all for the team today. So, we talked to your college roommate or college teammate and uh fellow Twitter pro Max and I said, “What should we ask him about the college days?” And his first one, which you already guessed, was Korean 101. What’s the story of this class that you took? Yeah. So, um I was born in Korea, so I am fairly fluent in Korean. And because of our um college golf schedule, we had to be done by 12:30. And there’s there’s a lot of classes at Cal, but there’s a limited amount that you can take before before 12:30. But the beginner one ones were at 10:00 a.m. So I was like, “Oh, I don’t know. I don’t want to take a class too hard.” So, I went to Korean 101 and I realized um I realized it’s a little easier than than the level that I was at. Uh but, you know, I I faked it around a little bit in the beginning, but the professor kind of figured figured me out pretty quickly, but um she was cool about it. She understood and uh let me let me take the class for for a full year. Would you sometime like at the beginning would you get a couple answers wrong or something just to not let her know? basically like you know she’d give me something to read and I would kind of read it really slow and um for the homework you actually would record yourself talk and this is how Max found out. Um I would we would we would always room together at tournaments and I would tell Max, “Hey, I have to record something for my Korean class, so can you be quiet for like 30 seconds?” He’s like, “Yeah, yeah, no problem.” And I would read, you know, I’d say this. You know, if I would say the scoop, normally I would be say the scoop, but I’d be like the scoop. And he started laughing. He goes, “What are you doing?” I was like, “I’m recording this and I can’t be too fluent in it.” And so he got a he got a big kick out of that. [Applause]
