D. P. G. MoMo

Gday! I'm MoMo

I wrote Kernel of Hope because the story just kept bugging me. It all started during a break at work.

I was just sitting there thinking, Kdrama and Deadpool? and I always had a soft spot for the stories about underdogs, it kind of reflected my life how I always thought I was the underdog and by pure chance I met my wife, and I proved myself and won her heart.

As an Australian who discovered Korean culture through my wife (she got me hooked on K-pop and K-dramas, and now I'm obsessed), I'm definitely no expert and I have never even been to Korea.

But I spent ages researching as i tried to get Jihoon's story right.

This is my first time writing anything longer than an email, honestly. Kernel of Hope is the start of the Becoming the Lead series.

I'm not trying to be the next big author, I just had this story stuck in my head that felt too important to ignore.
