FROM DYNASTY TO DEVASTATION TO DEBUT HUEY CHOI’S MEMOIR WHO STOLE MY PORK BELLY UNVEILS A LIFE FORGED IN GRIT, GRACE, AND THE ASHES OF A KOREAN EMPIRE
United States, 22nd May 2026 – Huey is the daughter of a prominent South Korean chaebol family, a dynasty that controlled vast wealth, employed thousands, and expected absolute loyalty and silence. When she was four years old, her world was upended. She left Seoul for Los Angeles, not on a private jet but through the fog of a childhood she would spend decades trying to make sense of it.
The Attorney Turned Author Bares Her Soul in a Cinematic, Unforgettable Debut That Reads Like a Thriller and Heals Like a Prayer
LOS ANGELES, CA – 27 April – What happens when the family name that you’re meant to protect becomes the very thing that shatters you? What happens when you trade chauffeurs for bus passes, palatial halls for silent nights in a foreign land, and still manage to claw your way to the top of the legal profession, only to discover that success is loud, but loneliness is louder?
Today, Huey Choi launches Who Stole My Pork Belly?, her debut memoir. As a veteran corporate bankruptcy attorney, she has spent twenty-five years navigating the high-stakes world of BigLaw while quietly carrying a past that reads like a K-Drama intertwined with a Greek tragedy.
This isn’t a celebrity tell‑all, nor is it a self‑help guide disguised as a memoir. It is a raw, lyrical, and deeply honest account of a woman who was born into one of South Korea’s most powerful chaebol families, only to have her life upended at age four by a sudden, traumatic move to Los Angeles, trading a dynasty for uncertainty.
WHY THIS BOOK WILL CAPTURE MILLIONS
A Hook for Every Reader
- For fans of Crying in H Mart, Educated, The Glass Castle, and When Breath Becomes Air – Huey’s voice is intimate, unsentimental, and relentlessly honest. She does not ask for pity. She invites you to sit with her in the discomfort of the in‑between.
- For the corporate crowd – Voted a top 5% attorney in America writing about resilience, bankruptcy (both financial and emotional), and the art of rebuilding. This is a book for every lawyer, executive, and entrepreneur who has ever felt like an imposter.
- For the Korean culture wave– With BTS commanding global headlines and Korean storytelling reshaping platforms like Netflix, Huey’s memoir arrives at a cultural inflection point. She draws readers into the guarded world of a chaebol family, weaving in tender memories, her late grandmother’s Korean fried chicken, a comforting stew quietly bubbling in a ttukbaegi, and the gentle warmth of a celadon teacup, each a subtle act of quiet defiance.
- For the animal lover – A central thread of the book is Huey’s rescue dog, Charlotte, a disabled pup, who, as she puts it, “rescued me right back.” This is a story for anyone who has found healing in the eyes of an abandoned animal.
- For the solo travelers and Foodies – Huey’s healing journey takes her through European cafés, Asian night markets, and solo oceanic vistas. The book includes a photo section of her travels, unvarnished, unglamorous, and deeply moving.
What Makes This Debut Different
Most memoirs of hardship follow a familiar arc: struggle, triumph, lesson learned. Huey disrupts that formula. She writes with the precision of a lawyer and the heart of a poet. Every chapter is a revelation:
- The dynasty that fell overnight – Not through scandal or war, but through a quiet, unexplained collapse that left a four‑year‑old girl wondering why love had a passport and a price.
- The American dream, shift by shift – From a mother wiping down diner tables to a ceiling dripping water into a bucket, Huey paints financial hardship not as a montage but as a lived, relentless geography.
- The glass tower – Law school. The Bar. BigLaw. Huey achieves what immigrants are taught to aspire. But she finds that success without connection is its own kind of solitary confinement.
- Loss upon loss – A marriage that ends. Miscarriages that are never named. A family legacy that demands silence. Huey writes about each loss with a restraint that makes every sentence hurt and heal.
- The fall of the conglomerate – While she rebuilds her life, the Choi empire crumbles. Greed, gaman, grace, grief and gratitude, each word becomes a chapter.
- The warmth of a celadon teacup – Huey’s Korean rituals are not decorative, they are lifelines. The simple act of sitting with tea before the chaos begins becomes a “prayer before the prayer”.
- Charlotte – A disabled rescue dog who teaches Huey that love does not have to be earned, it simply arrives.
PRAISE FROM EARLY READERS
“A knockout debut. Huey Choi writes like she’s been doing it for decades – sharp, tender, and utterly unforgettable. This memoir will find its way into your bones and refuse to leave.”
– Early Reader Review
“I’ve never read a memoir that so perfectly balances legal precision with raw emotional excavation. Choi’s voice is a revelation.”
– Advance Praise, Anonymous Editor
“This book made me cry, laugh, and call my mother. It is a gift to anyone who has ever felt like they didn’t belong anywhere.”
– Advance Reader ARC
ABOUT THE AUTHOR (THE REAL STORY-BEHIND-STORY)
Huey Choi is a seasoned attorney with over twenty‑five years of experience in corporate bankruptcy and creditors’ rights. She has been voted in Best Lawyers in America, a peer‑review recognition that places her among the top 5% of U.S. attorneys. A graduate of the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, she navigated the high‑stakes world of BigLaw while quietly carrying the weight of her past.
But the Bio line does not tell the full story.
Huey is the daughter of a prominent South Korean chaebol family, a dynasty that controlled vast wealth, employed thousands, and expected absolute loyalty and silence. When she was four years old, her world was upended. She left Seoul for Los Angeles, not on a private jet but through the fog of a childhood she would spend decades trying to make sense of it.
In the pages of Who Stole My Pork Belly?, Huey reveals for the first time:
- The truth behind her family’s decision to flee South Korea, and the cost of protecting a name that never protected her.
- The silent years of emotional and financial hardship, with a single mother who worked tirelessly and prayed alone at night.
- The pressure to perform, to become a lawyer, to represent a legacy that had already abandoned her.
- The marriage that failed. The children that never came. The cult‑like expectations of a family that demanded grace while offering none.
- The healing she found not in therapy but in her late grandmother’s Korean fried chicken, a comforting stew quietly bubbling in a ttukbaegi, the warmth of a pale celadon teacup, and the unconditional love of a disabled rescue dog.
Huey Choi is also the founder and CEO of Snubbed, LLC, a company she launched in 2017 to support animal welfare initiatives. Through Snubbed Hats, she raises funds to feed and rehabilitate snubbed dogs, the ones no one else wanted. She lives in Southern California with her three rescue dogs, Angel, Portia, and Captain, and cares for her elderly mother.
A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR (EXCLUSIVE)
“I wrote this book for the person who feels like they are performing a life instead of living one. I wrote it for the immigrant who is tired of being the model minority. I wrote it for the lawyer who wins cases but loses sleep. And I wrote it for anyone who has ever loved a dog more than a family member.”
~ Huey Choi

Berlin, Germany, August 26th, 2026, Chainwire
TronBid expands its two-sided TRON resource marketplace, giving users new ways to rent Energy, trade Energy and Bandwidth, and reduce USDT fees for TRC-20 transactions.
TronBid, a peer-to-peer marketplace for TRON network resources, has expanded its platform with new tools for users looking to rent TRON Energy, manage transaction costs and access network resources without maintaining large amounts of staked TRX.
The platform now operates as a two-sided marketplace where both buyers and sellers can create orders for TRON Energy and Bandwidth.
Understanding TRON Energy Usage
TRON uses Energy and Bandwidth as its primary network resources. Energy is required for smart-contract computation, including USDT TRC-20 transfers.
When a wallet does not have sufficient Energy, TRX may be consumed to cover the resources required by the transaction. This has created demand for users and businesses to rent Energy instead.
By receiving temporary Energy delegated from another account, users can perform eligible TRON transactions without maintaining enough staked TRX for their maximum resource requirements.
For businesses processing frequent TRC-20 transactions, choosing to rent TRON Energy can therefore provide another way to manage network costs and reduce USDT fees.
A Two-Sided Marketplace for Energy
Unlike platforms where rental conditions are determined entirely by the provider, TronBid allows both sides of the market to create orders.
Buyers can create BUY orders specifying the amount of Energy required, rental duration and price they are willing to pay.
Sellers can create SELL offers with their own amount, price and rental period. Buyers can purchase all or part of these offers directly.
For example, if a seller offers 600,000 Energy, one buyer can rent 350,000 Energy, leaving the remaining amount available for other buyers.
Creating a SELL offer does not reserve the seller’s Energy. If resources become unavailable because they are being used elsewhere, recurring offers can automatically pause and become active again when sufficient Energy returns.
This allows sellers to participate in the TronBid marketplace while continuing to manage their resources elsewhere.
Rent Energy Without Waiting for the Marketplace
For users who need resources immediately, TronBid also provides Quick Rent with predefined Energy packages and short rental periods.
Energy can be delivered directly to any specified TRON address, even when payment is made from another wallet.
TronBid has also introduced Flash Recharge, an alternative designed for wallets that already maintain their own Energy capacity but need to manage consumed resources.
Energy and Bandwidth Trading
TronBid’s marketplace supports both Energy and Bandwidth, allowing holders of staked TRX to monetize the network resources their stake generates.
This creates two sides of the ecosystem: users who need to rent TRON Energy or Bandwidth and resource owners looking to make unused capacity available to the market.
By allowing both buyers and sellers to determine their own terms, TronBid aims to create more transparent price discovery based on actual supply and demand.
B2B API to Reduce USDT Fees at Scale
TronBid also provides a B2B Quick Rent API for exchanges, payment processors, wallets, OTC services and other businesses processing frequent TRON transactions.
Businesses can maintain a prepaid balance and automatically request Energy for specified TRON addresses before executing transactions.
Instead of manually renting resources for every transfer, companies can integrate Energy rental directly into their transaction infrastructure.
For businesses handling large numbers of USDT TRC-20 transfers, this can make it easier to rent Energy automatically and manage the network-resource component of transaction costs.
TronBid Becomes a TRON SR Partner
Alongside the expansion of its marketplace, TronBid has become a TRON Super Representative Partner, adding the project to TRON’s delegated proof-of-stake governance ecosystem.
The development strengthens TronBid’s connection with the underlying TRON ecosystem while the platform continues building infrastructure around Energy and Bandwidth.
About TronBid
TronBid is a peer-to-peer marketplace for TRON Energy and Bandwidth. Buyers can rent TRON Energy, create BUY orders or purchase existing seller offers, while resource owners can create SELL offers with their own prices and rental periods.
The platform also provides Quick Rent, Flash Recharge and a B2B API for businesses looking to automate Energy rental and reduce USDT fees for TRC-20 transactions.

Press Release
ZFCHUNT Launches ZFC-X LiFePO4 Residential Battery Series, Cutting Solar Installer Labor by 15 percent
The plug-and-play home solar battery storage system minimizes SOC discrepancies, helping contractors streamline setups in a market projected to reach $36 billion.
China, 26th Aug 2026 – ZFCHUNT, the global brand of Shenzhen Kangkedi Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., today launched the ZFC-X Series, a new line of residential energy storage solutions. Engineered with durable LiFePO4 battery cells, the system reduces on-site installation labor by 15 percent and cuts State of Charge (SOC) estimation errors to under 2 percent.
The hardware arrives as Europe tightens building energy codes and U.S. contractors race to claim Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) incentives—both markets where every hour of on-site labor critically impacts project margins.
Key Facts & Technical Specifications
- Installation Efficiency: Auto-detect CAN/RS485 protocols ensure instant compatibility with major hybrid inverters (SolarEdge, Huawei SUN2000, GoodWe), reducing setup time by up to 15 percent.
- Durability: Features a 6,000-cycle rating, supporting up to 16 years of typical residential use backed by rigorous cell-screening protocols.
- Safety Standard: Advanced thermal management minimizes thermal runaway risks during peak load operations.
- Global Compliance: Fully certified under UL, FCC, CE, RoHS, and PSE standards, maintaining complete UN38.3 logistics documentation.
Core Technology and BMS Innovations
ZFCHUNT engineers its industrial-grade cell technology to minimize discrepancies between BMS software readings and real-world backup capacity. The core battery pack enclosure utilizes active cell-balancing and proprietary algorithms. This ensures that displayed SOC levels correspond more accurately to actual backup duration, reducing the risk of unexpected outages and extending overall cell life.
Streamlined Commercial Portfolio
While the ZFC-X Series focuses on the home energy storage market, ZFCHUNT’s 2,000-square-meter automated facility scales production for broader B2B needs. The company’s unified manufacturing pipeline supplies industrial lithium battery packs for continuous heavy-duty discharge, alongside consumer-grade lithium-ion batteries and OEM battery modules tailored for IoT devices, light green transportation, and telecommunications.
Global Supply Chain and Field Validation
Targeting global distributors and ODM clients, the factory accommodates a standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) of 500 units. Delivery cycles range from 15 to 30 days, with custom samples dispatched within seven days. In recent field trials with European and U.S. installers, the standardized modules proved highly adaptable to diverse grid acceptance standards. Demonstrating a commitment to sustainable partnerships, ZFCHUNT provides detailed installation manuals, remote technical guidance, and a comprehensive three-year material warranty.
Management Quotes
“Most installers spend over three hours per system on inverter handshaking. We have reduced that to five minutes with CAN/RS485 auto-detection,” said Tan Chungen, Technical Manager at ZFCHUNT. “We cut installer labor costs by 15 percent—not just by making cost-effective hardware, but by making smarter systems. For North American and European contractors, where labor is the biggest project variable, that plug-and-play integration is a direct margin protector.”
Industry Background and Future Plans
Driven by global grid decentralization, the residential solar battery storage market is projected to reach $36.2 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. To maintain its technical edge, ZFCHUNT has completed A-sample prototype validation for its next-generation OEM semi-solid-state battery technology, achieving 350 Wh/kg and targeting commercial availability in early 2027. The company is also evaluating localized warehousing in Frankfurt, Germany, to provide faster component replacement services to European partners.
