Personal life still single!
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
Lasting as long as I did mentally and physically despite never having been on a winning tribe.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
Not following my gut instinct and being too cerebral.
One particular thing they didn’t show was when I chopped my finger to the bone with a machete.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
I think they depicted who I am pretty accurately.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
It was easy to adjust back to normal life for the most part.
The one difficulty I had was around food.
It was a great once-in-a-lifetime experience and I met one of my best friends through the show.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
He’s one of my best friends now and we hang out at least a couple times a year.
I still communicate here and there with Rita and Anthony.
Who’s one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
I’d have to say Yul, my fellow Korean.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor,what would it be and why?
Finally, would you play again if asked?
It depends where I am in life at that moment!
