    Congartulation! Her predecessor, Jinwoo Lee, was also Korean, even though he lived in Germany from age 4. He is now concertmaster with the Milwaukee Symphony.

      It is strange to me how in Germany, you will always be considered from your country of origin (even after a whole lifetime living there, even when German is the language in which you think).
