(PS If in doubt I'm jesting....) Also aren't you shooting yourself in the foot, it was you who claimed Philip Ahn, as the first Korean-American (1911) [see 15], {wikipedia only claimed him as the first born of korean parents in the US, not the first Korean-American}, I merely pointed out that there was at least one Korean-American before him in [1890]. However since you ask, It may well be obvious to you that there were Koreans in america before Philip Jaisohn, but given he was amongst the first recognised groups of koreans in american in 1885, and given the hermit kingdom status of korea prior to then, it's not so obvious to me. Even if you're right if they weren't naturalised they were not korean-americans. As for any possible progeny in that time window, given the above, its a possibility, but you've already noted the official view that Philip Ahn was the first progeny of koreans born in America... “Come on.

For example, there are Korean people who visit China expecting to see Korean shows and signs everywhere just because they've heard that a certain music is popular there, or a show, etc. From a viewpoint of person who may be connected with those people, its really not helping Korea, and possibly my own reputation. Especially when news articles like this one get out. But maybe I've gone over the top, and made a mountain out of a molehill (a pretty big molehill to start off with- my weak attempt to defend myself). By the way, about Daniel Dae Kim's accent, when Southern Cross Ten aired Lost (I'm from Canberra- Aus if you dont know the city) I just started laughing, turned off the TV, and never watched that show again.
