Mark was part of basketball from an early age. His father played professionally in the Korean Basketball League and was a basketball coach at a powerhouse High School in Korea. When Mark was sophomore in high school, he made the Niles North varsity basketball team and went on to have a great HS career. As a Junior he was invited to 5 Star and BlueChips camp, which hosted the very best HS players in the nation. He was named captain of his HS team during his junior year, and led his team in scoring, rebounding, and assist. Even though Mark didn’t pursue playing professional basketball, he got invited to enter draft in KBL and letters from several D1,D2, and D3 Schools.
