Biography
[edit]Chung was born to a Korean father, Joseph Chung,[1] a former university teacher, and a mother named Lucie Lépine, from the province of Quebec. Although born in Toronto, she grew up in Montreal, Quebec. In her early life, her difference becomes an issue as she was often reminded that she comes from elsewhere while she perceives herself as a Quebecer only. Noting an identity crisis, her father decided to take his teenage daughter for the first time to his country of origin.[2] In 1985, she began her undergraduate studies in Korean literary program at the Seoul University in South Korea[3] and attended Concordia University in Montreal.
