My name is Abegael Hyun Kyung Uffelman, but my birth name was Moon, Hyun Kyung. This exercise demonstrates my attempt to say my birth name with a Korean accent, a foreign practice that would have been daily had I not been adopted. I have never spoken the Korean language and have only ever known an American accent. Here I am learning my own name.

What is your name?
