Dongjin Kim

Dongjin Kim, Writer

Dongjin Kim is a new student at DIS, who plans to study here until graduation. He has moved schools a total of 9 times, which led him to not being able to graduate from any school–not even elementary. So right now he’s (technically) only a kindergarten graduate. He enjoys discussing issues related to politics and video games. He actively participates in debates on online forums about topics of his interest. In university, he plans on exploring the field of chemistry, which is one of the few subjects that he managed to find likable during all those years of moving around.
