In a media camera that shows the trash that was left behind after the congressional riots, Rep. Kim was picking up trash while wearing a blue suit, kneeling on the floor.
Rep. Kim said, “I was really shocked, and I felt a strong patriotism,” and said, “There was nothing I could do other than picking up the trash.” He added, “When you see what you love too, you will have a great desire to protect it.”
“It seems like it was around 1:00 in the morning. He was quietly removing the trash and putting it in a plastic bag.” No,” he said.
Rep. Kim, the second generation of Korean immigrants, graduated from the University of Chicago after spending his childhood in New Jersey. He was selected as a Rose Scholar and received a Ph.D. in International Relations from Oxford University in England. Later, he served as the strategic staff of the commander of the US military in Afghanistan.
Later, he entered the parliament in 2013, starting with Barack Obama, an assistant in charge of Iraq at the National Security Council. He was first elected as Congressman in 2018 and was re-elected this time.
