A Washington state dad is pleading with Korean authorities for the return of his young son – whose noncustodial mother is wanted in the U.S. for allegedly abducting the child overseas and flouting court orders in both countries to return him.
Bryan Sung, now 7, was only 3 years old when his mother, Min Jung Cho, 42, allegedly spirited him away to her native South Korea in June 2019.
Bryan’s father Dr. Jay Sung, 43, says he won court battles in both the U.S. and overseas but remains cut off from his son, whom he has now not been able to see for more than half of the child’s life.

He and his ex-wife agreed that Bryan could go to South Korea for only 3 weeks.
“Korea’s a signatory state of Hague Convention, so I thought there would be no practical danger, so I let him go,” Sung explained.
Hague Convention is a treaty that protects children from international abduction by a parent and encourages the quick return of a child to their home country.
With Korea being a part of this agreement, Sung thought there was nothing to worry about.
