Carlin's paternal grandfather was from Jeolla-do.[6] His father , Park Geun-sil, was from Busan and was an elite student from a wealthy family who went to study at a university in the United States in the 1950s when the entire country was devastated by the Korean War .[7] While in college, I met Kalin's mother, Irene, who was from a Lithuanian immigrant family who immigrated to the United States when she was 5 years old. At the time of his appearance as Knee-Pumping Guru, Carlin said that even though his father was Asian, he was 184cm tall and had a sturdy physique.[8] He stood out especially among students at school, and it is said that their relationship began after their mother sang Arirang in front of their father to make fun of him. It is said that they also shared something in common: their country went through war and they were both strangers who moved abroad .

Of the three sisters they met, the youngest, Carlin, was born in the United States and came to learn Korean.[9] My family moved to Busan with my father when I was 3 years old, and I lived in Busan until I was 10. I moved to the United States when I was in the 4th grade of elementary school to learn English again, and I studied in LA. Grew up in the Hollywood area.

In fact, Park Dong-jin tried to make her his direct successor of pansori, but it was not possible because her carlin was a foreign national. However, Park Kalin said, "I don't know what it has to do with you being a foreigner," Park Dong-jin's words eased everything. In her Knee Pak Taoist, she said that if that had happened, she would have fallen very deeply into the path of pansori .
