There were several factors that led me to venture into the world of golf. Firstly, my mother, residing in Korea, has an immense passion for the sport and often expressed her enthusiasm during our conversations. Recognizing that there was a disconnect that stemmed from my lack of interest and knowledge of golf, I was motivated to explore the world of golf. Additionally, I noticed a rising surge of interest in golf within the social media community, particularly with a lack of female representation. I identified an opportunity to fill this void and contribute to the golf social media sphere. I then took my platform to create Golf with Mi. I contacted OFTV and managed to pitch an idea for a show that was about real conversations while golfing. I host, produce and edit my show. I have creative control and it's extremely empowering.
