HalfKorean.com Spotlight: Brandun Lee / Professional Boxer

Brandun Lee is not your typical teenager. He has had an exceptional year in 2017 where he turned 18, graduated high school and fought three professional boxing matches. With half the year still remaining, Brandun is sure to accomplish much more.

The Junior Welterweight (140 lbs.) has been boxing since he was a child and achieved an outstanding amateur record, earning many accolades including three National Junior Golden Glove Championships.

Based out of Coachella Valley in California, he is exclusively trained by his father, Bobby Lee, since the beginning. He signed with manager Cameron Dunkin in 2016 and fought his first professional fight this past January.

Sporting a 3-0 professional record, Brandun is currently training for his next fight which should be scheduled sometime soon in the next month.

And, yes, we did ask Brandun about the similarity of his name with another “Brandon Lee.”

HalfKorean.com was able to discuss Brandun’s background and his boxing career.

Interview with Jinh Yu Frey (5/31/2017)

HalfKorean.com Interview: Jinh Yu Frey

Jinh Yu Frey

Jinh Yu Frey is a professional mixed martial arts fighter who currently fights for Invicta Fighting Championships in the Atomweight (105 lbs) weight class.

Sherdog.com’s #2 ranked Atomweight has fought professionally since 2013 and has a record of 5-2 (3-2 in Invicta FC) and is also the current SCS Atomweight Champion.

It was her second professional fight at SCS 18 in 2013 that caused a viral video craze with her impressive highlight reel knockout victory (video here). In fact, Jinh had punched her opponent so hard that she broke her hand!

Her last fight was at Invicta FC 19 in September 2016 was for the Invicta FC Atomweight Championship. It ended slightly controversially with what many considered a premature ending due to doctor stoppage which caused Jinh to suffer the title fight loss. Although disappointed with the result, she is still considered one of the top contenders and should hopefully get a rematch in the near future.

HalfKorean.com had the chance to catch up with Jinh to discuss her MMA career and personal background and are pleased to present this interview.
