Biography[]
Background information[]
Dr. Choi is a second generation Korean American. She tenured at the University of Columbia in New York City.
When Dr. Jackson was absent, the SGC reached out to her for translations. She became suspicious, as the language that was presented was too modern compared to the Tau'ri original. General Hammond decided to brief her, instead of finding another linguist of her skill.
Choi petitioned for citizenship for her grandparents. General Hammond wrote a letter of recommendation to US Citizenship and Immigration Service, which the NID claimed favoritism. (RPG: "Core Rulebook")
