Biography 

Born in Seoul in 1995, she began playing the piano at the age of five, marking the start of her musical path. From the age of eight to twelve, she gained extensive stage experience as both a soloist and choir member at the Korean National Opera. Her early career included performances in major productions such as Carmen, in collaboration with the National Theatre Bucharest, and appearances in operas including Tosca, Turandot, Yuzuru, Wozzeck, The Magic Flute, Carmen, and La Bohème across Seoul and other cities in South Korea.

She has performed with the Seoul National University Orchestra in Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 and appeared as a guest pianist with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra.

In 2011, she began studying conducting under Prof. Ji-Hwan Kim, while also pursuing composition and music theory with Prof. Jun-Il Kang, laying a solid artistic foundation. After graduating from high school (Courses Completed: Natural and Medical Sciences / International Humanities) , she moved to Germany to further her studies in musicology, philosophy, and conducting, which opened up interdisciplinary dimensions in her artistic thinking. She later studied music theory under Prof. Heide Andreas and completed academic programs in piano, chamber music, and music education, earning diplomas in both Artistic Training (KA) and Artistic Pedagogy (KE).

During her time in Hamburg she initiated and led annual Brahms concerts as a pianist and artistic director. Alongside her musical activities, she also worked as a project manager, organizing numerous art and cultural initiatives in South Korea. Her work focuses on interdisciplinary formats that blend various artistic disciplines, and she has developed cultural programs to foster exchange between Europe and Korea. Supported by several Korean cultural foundations, she has built international networks that connect artists across diverse fields.

Following her graduation, she moved to Vienna to continue her studies in composition and music theory under Prof. Gerald Resch at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (mdw). She is currently expanding her artistic and academic pursuits under Prof. Frauke Jürgensen and Prof. Annegret Huber in music theory and analysis, as well as in media composition with Prof. Judit Varga.

She currently lives and works between Austria and South Korea. Alongside her artistic practice, she is passionately dedicated to mentoring young musicians and to building new connections between art, education, and culture.
