S. Sam Park
It has not been an easy journey for Sam Park. Besides the usual obstacles to success as an artist, Park had to overcome the strident resistance of his traditional-minded Korean family. For five generations, the extended Park family had only one son. Sung Sam Park was the only son for his generation, and as such shouldered the burdens and expectations of a proud family. "Be an engineer, or something, anything respectable," his father had exhorted him. But young Sam would not be deterred or dissuaded from his sense of destiny.
