how it all started
From fashion photoshoots to K-Pop stages, my journey as a writer and photographer has been a fusion of style, sound, and storytelling. My path led from producing photoshoots to an unexpected epiphany at a museum, where BTS's "Fake Love" music video on a giant screen captivated me and ignited a passion for the genre. And as the age-old lie we tell ourselves goes, "I just wanted to learn their names..."
A writing opportunity with an online magazine catapulted me into the realm of celebrity interviews and the electrifying fusion of music and fashion. From chatting with rising stars like JJANG_E to exploring style in K-pop, this experience paved the way for my journey at Binahearts, where I further honed my craft and K-Pop expertise.
The turning point came during SEVENTEEN's 'BE THE SUN' tour after seeing a striking photo of Wonwoo sparked a new ambition. Today, armed with insatiable curiosity and a camera, I chase every chance to interview the artist behind the music, immortalize stage moments, and offer my unique perspective on the kaleidoscopic world of K-Pop.
fun facts
I've interviewed over 50 Korean artists over the last two years, interviewing indie artists and rookie groups to international superstars.
My camera has survived being splashed with over thirty bottles of water during one of Epik High's shows in 2023 and doused in confetti at WeBridge Festival.
I've turned my office into a cozy 'introvert cave' complete with fairy lights, pillows, plushies, and a secret snack stash - it's my favorite spot for creative brainstorming.
my mission
My mission is to uncover stories often left in shadows, ask questions Google can't answer, and forge lasting relationships of trust and respect with artists. I strive to highlight the human elements behind the glitz and glamour, exploring the nuances of creativity, culture, and personal growth in the K-Pop industry.
By sharing artists' true experiences and motivations, I hope to give fans a deeper understanding of their favorite performers. This work helps bring artists and fans closer together.
