He knows he was adopted from South Korea. The rest is a troubling mystery.
For most of his life, Aaron Grzegorczyk believed that his birth name was Cho Yong-kee. He thought he was born on April 28, 1988, in a clinic in Anyang, South Korea, about 11 miles south of Seoul. He was told that his mother, a 19-year-old unwed woman, had abandoned him a day after giving birth to him. In an initial physical exam, he was recorded as 'cute and alert.'

Javi Gomez de Liaño and Ian Miller have been tapped to join Strong Group Athletics' title defense bid in the 2025 William Jones Cup set from July 12 to 20 at the Xinzhuang Gymnasium in New Taipei City, Taiwan. The two additions will join a stacked lineup headlined by local stars Kiefer Ravena, Rhenz Abando, Jason Brickman, Dave Ildefonso, Ange Kouame, Geo Chiu, and reigning NCAA MVP Allen Liwag. 'These are excellent additions to our team,' said head coach Charles Tiu. 'Javi and Ian bring high-level experience and versatility. They'll really complement the core group we already have.' The 26-year-old Gomez de Liaño is heading into his second year with Korean club Anyang. He posted averages of 8.4 points and 2.7 rebounds in his debut campaign. American reinforcement Miller, meanwhile, saw action in the Basketball Champions League Asia and was named the MVP in the Asia-East division after averaging 17.9 points on 44.1% shooting, alongside 2.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists. 'He's coming off an impressive run in BCL Asia, so we're excited to bring that firepower to our backcourt,' said Tiu. SGA will kick off its campaign for back-to-back championships on July 13 against Chinese-Taipei A, followed by matchups against Japan's Under-25 team, Qatar, Australia, Chinese-Taipei B, Malaysia, Bahrain, and UAE. —Bea Micaller/JMB, GMA Integrated News

NEL Animal Cardiovascular Center Achieves World's First Surgical Correction of Complex VSD in Canine Patient
ANYANG, South Korea, June 23, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NEL Animal Cardiovascular Center, a private 24-hour animal hospital in South Korea, said that its cardiac surgery team has successfully performed the world's first surgical correction of a complex ventricular septal defect (VSD) in a canine patient. This veterinary milestone is highly significant, as it marks the first such case not only in Korea but also globally, with no previous reports of successful surgical treatment for complex VSDs. The patient was diagnosed with a unique form of VSD—a single, continuous defect extending from the perimembranous to the subarterial region (Perimembranous VSD extending into subarterial region). Given that there had been no prior successful surgical cases even for typical VSDs in veterinary medicine, this breakthrough greatly expands the possibilities for surgical treatment of congenital heart disease in Korea's veterinary cardiac surgery field. Over the past year, NEL's cardiac surgery team has gained experience through more than 50 open-heart surgeries using cardiopulmonary bypass. Based on this expertise, the team developed a thorough surgical plan. During the procedure, the complex VSD involving both membranous and subarterial regions was confirmed. The team performed incisions in the right atrium and pulmonary artery, successfully closing the defect with a bovine pericardial patch. Immediately after surgery, the left-to-right shunt was completely resolved, and the risk of progressive regurgitation due to aortic valve prolapse was eliminated. The patient's cardiac function recovered to near-normal levels, and the long-term prognosis is considered highly favorable. Subarterial VSDs are particularly dangerous due to the risk of aortic valve prolapse and severe regurgitation, making early surgical intervention crucial. The success of this surgery offers new hope for animals with congenital heart defects, demonstrating the potential for a surgical cure. Dr. Tae-Heum Um, Director of NEL Animal Cardiovascular Center, stated, "Although this was a complex defect, thorough discussion and preparation among our medical team led to a successful outcome. We will continue our efforts so that more animals with congenital heart disease can lead healthy and normal lives." NEL Animal Cardiovascular Center is preparing an academic analysis and official report on this case, and sincerely hopes that this achievement contributes to the advancement of veterinary cardiac surgery not only in Korea, but also across Asia.
