Winning project:

Despite coming from a lineage of doctors, Jun made the difficult decision to choose the road less traveled – he left medical school to pursue a career as an action actor. He met with a host of challenges like his family’s disapproval, but nothing could break his resolve. As a young boy, he faced abused at home and in the streets. That was when Jun found respite in martial arts. By showcasing and imparting his skills to an audience, he hopes to challenge stereotypes about Asian-American men and encourage others like him to pursue their dreams.
