Claire Byun was born on October 18, 2010, the same year as when the 2010 Winter Olympics took place. She is Korean-American, and she travels to Korea at least once a year. Claire spent the first few years of her life in Los Angeles and moved to Fullerton when she was around four years old. She grew up with her parents and a younger brother named Ian, who is four years younger than Claire. Claire enjoys spending her free time doing numerous things. She enjoys reading dystopian books; her favorite book series are the Hunger Games and Scythe series. She likes to listen to Korean R&B as well as K-pop. Claire also takes pleasure in cooking and baking; she likes to create pastries and Korean food. Although Claire isn’t athletic, she has done many sports. Claire played tennis, golf, and badminton. She also did pilates, rock climbing, gymnastics, and ballet. She is always thankful to her parents for allowing her to try out these sports. Claire’s goal for the future is to attend a prestigious university and become a mathematician. One goal that Claire truly wants to achieve is to one day visit Europe and explore the countries because she has always been fascinated by the different cultures in Europe. One quote that inspires Claire to be a better version of herself is: “So be careful to live your life wisely, not foolishly.”
