Wie thrilled to return to her roots
By Randall Mell October 2, 2018, 6:15 am NCHEON, South Korea -- A longing stirred when the news broke four years ago. Ancestral pride and heroic family legacy swelled within Michelle Wie. When she first heard South Korea won the rights to become the first country outside the United States to host the UL International Crown, she knew she had to be there. Wie knew she had to make the American team teeing it up in Incheon this week. “That became a big goal, as soon as I found out,” Wie told GolfChannel.com. “Going back to Korea, to my roots, with all my family over there, it was really important to me. I’m always excited to return there.” Wie is thoroughly American, and she relishes representing her country in these biennial international team events, but she’s proud of her Korean heritage, too. There’s a lot stoking that pride. Her father, Byung Wook, better known as “B.J.,” and her mother, Hyun Kyong, better known as “Bo,” were both born and raised in South Korea. Wie’s grandfather was a war hero there. Her uncle is a rocket scientist whose work is devoted to saving the world from a cataclysmic event. Sang-Kyu Wie, B.J.’s father, won three U.S. medals as a pilot flying with the Americans in the Korean War in the ‘50s. His honors included the Distinguished Flying Cross. There’s a painting of Wie’s grandfather in a T6 Mosquito Turboprop hanging in the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Ohio. He won the medal soaring below radar on risky missions over cloud-covered mountain ranges as a forward air controller identifying anti-aircraft installations and other threats. “They said there was only a 50 percent chance of returning alive from those missions, and he flew a hundred of them,” Wie said.
