About

Crossing Boundaries
Between Art and Planning

I am a cellist holding a Master's and Artist Diploma from the University of Cincinnati, blending the delicate artistry of a performer with the strategic vision of an arts director.

Having founded the professional arts group Team CYAF in 2015, I have developed interdisciplinary content such as Webtoon Classics and fusion musicals over the past 11 years under the motto "Classical Music for Everyone".

Since 2023, serving as the Artistic Director of the Sejong Chamber Orchestra, I have led a sold-out 1,000-seat concert at the Sejong Art Center in 2025, and serve as a certified consultant for the Korean Cultural & Arts Centers Association.
