When he's not in the office, Dr. Bahk enjoys spending time with family, working out at his local CrossFit gym, and being a CrossFit coach as well as a L1 trainer, as well as volunteering to serve immigrant populations in Los Angeles and helping the underserved.
​​
There is a common cultural preconception that Asian-Americans are one monolith that often overlooks the diverse histories, array of cultures, languages, socioeconomic backgrounds, and immigrant stories that add to the uniqueness of the Asian diaspora story. I joined A-Team Med to add my own unique background and story so that others can feel as open about sharing their own stories to this wonderful project - I want to promote openness and promote dialogue in regards to the Asian American experience and happy to be involved as a faculty member going forward.
