Benjamin Coz is an admissions consultant and avid breakdancer from Minnesota who currently lives in Korea. Growing up, Coz was confused by his Korean identity and felt alienated in a community with few to no Koreans. During the hour, he discussed how he learned to navigate his Korean and Korean adoptee identities through his education and life in Korea and how Korean adoptees&#39; lives fit into a broader framework of intercountry adoption and geopolitics.
