Growing up as the son of a sex worker and a black US soldier in South Korea in the '70s, Milton Washington was seen as an outcast, and "not Korean". He couldn't even get a birth certificate.

She told him his dad was in America, a land of flying cars and ice cream mountains - and that was where Milton wanted to be, too.
