About
Wonjoon (Lucas) Jung
Hello, my name is Lucas Jung, and I am an avid pioneer, programmer, and student from Seoul, South Korea. I have a unique passion for exploring anything that sparks my curiosity, whether in sports, music, or STEM subjects. Over the years, I've immersed myself in fencing, violin, math, physics, and coding—what I like to call my "five pillars." These passions have driven me to share the excitement they bring through various community services and activities; such experiences have enabled me to interact with individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs, deepening my appreciation for socializing, exchanging ideas and perspectives, and developing a vibrant outlook on the world around me. Before we delve deeper into who I am, I pose this question: Who is Lucas? He is a creator of light, whose story unfolds through sharing and spreading happiness to himself and those around him.
