Personal lifeThe eldest of four children, Whang emigrated to the United States in December 1951 at the age of 20, arriving at San Francisco, California by ship.[2] After arriving, he enrolled in the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn to study electrical engineering; he received his bachelor's degree in 1956, and his master's from the same school in 1966.[3] He met his wife Mary, who was born in Pyongyang, while a student there; she had emigrated to the States along with her father, who worked with the U.S. army in South Korea.[4] His wife died in 1995 after a ten-year battle with lung disease.[4] Political and religious activitiesWhang was the founder and first president of the Korean Association of Greater Miami.[1] In 1976, he became an elder at the Korean Presbyterian Church of Miami.[5] In 1998, he received the Essie Silva Community Builder Award from the United Way of America's Miami-Dade branch.[6] In 1999, he became the first Asian American to serve as chairman of the county Community Relations Board, which was established in 1963.[7] He was especially interested in promoting better relations between the Korean American and African American communities, an issue which became of greater concern to him in the aftermath of the 1992 Los Angeles riots.[2] Alternative healthApart from his political activities, Whang ran his own business, Alkalife, which promotes alternative health practices such as the use of far infrared radiation to promote growth and health of living cells.[8] He self-published a book entitled Aging and Reverse Aging, about the alleged health benefits of high-alkaline water and other alternative health practices.[9] After his death, his son Peter Whang took over as Alkalife's head of research and development.[10] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.miamikorean.org/structure.php|publisher=Korean Association of Greater Miami|accessdate=2007-09-20|title=한인회 조직}} 2. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=MH&s_site=miami&p_multi=MH&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB4D17C21628E2C&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM|last=Lawrence|first=David|publisher=Miami Herald|date=5 March 1995|title=A little thing ... to encourage more unity|accessdate=2007-09-20}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://docs.newsbank.com/g/GooglePM/MH/lib00245,0F72E2E989D31A93.html|publisher=Miami Herald|date=2 November 2002|accessdate=2007-09-20|title=Three Asian Americans lauded for community work|last=Suarez|first=Yellini}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|title=Mary Whang, cooked for neighbours after hurricane|date=8 April 1995|publisher=Miami Herald|url=http://docs.newsbank.com/g/GooglePM/MH/lib00256,0EB4D1AF6531F433.html|last=Strouse|first=Charles|accessdate=2007-09-20}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://docs.newsbank.com/g/GooglePM/MH/lib00246,0EB3631C3791A392.html|date=25 July 1985|accessdate=2007-09-20|title=Korean church works to communicate ideals|last=Green|first=Amy|publisher=Miami Herald}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=5 volunteers get United Way awards|publisher=Miami Herald|date=26 June 1998|accessdate=2007-09-20|url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=MH&s_site=miami&p_multi=MH&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB4DA81C0FC03DE&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=Relations board gets new leader|last=Robinson|first=Andrea|date=30 October 1999|accessdate=2007-09-20|url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=MH&s_site=miami&p_multi=MH&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB5D3F4931A0D06&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM}} 8. ^{{cite news|date=December 5, 2002|publisher=New Straits Times|title=FIR treatment|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-82662168.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110516200250/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-82662168.html|dead-url=yes|archive-date=May 16, 2011|accessdate=2007-09-20}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.alkalife.com/cart.php?&catID=300|publisher=Alkalife|title=Reverse Aging|accessdate=2007-09-20|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070815225038/http://www.alkalife.com/cart.php?&catID=300|archivedate=2007-08-15|df=}} 10. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/01/idUS241144+01-Feb-2012+BW20120201|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120303142538/http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/01/idUS241144+01-Feb-2012+BW20120201|dead-url=yes|archive-date=2012-03-03|title=Son of Alkaline Water Pioneer Sang Whang Joins Alkalife to Lead R&D (Press Release)|work=Reuters|date=2012-02-01|accessdate=2014-06-03}} External links
