In August 2022 I was on my way to Seoul, South Korea to start a new English teaching job and Jiwon was on his way to Seoul to visit his parents. We were on the same flight, Delta 159, and happened to sit near each other and started talking. By the end of the flight we had exchanged information and continued to talk for the next week over Instagram. We had our first date at the end of that week and the rest is history...
