Eileen Ha is not an ordinary 10-year-old Korean girl. If there were any justice in the universe, she would be. “Eileen is a child who brings joy,” said her Korean father, who s known among his foreign and Korean friends as Victor Ha. “She s incredibly cute and pretty. She s growing up receiving plenty of love from her mom, dad and two older sisters. She enjoys adorable characters and likes to sit quietly to draw or do crafts. At school, she s an ordinary child and gets along well with her friends.”
