Back in Seoul after a whirlwind two months in LA where I shot a lead role in a short and DP'd another short. Now I'm back on WeAudition and ready to read for you!

About me:
I'm a working actor and voice actor splitting my time between Seoul, South Korea, and LA, CA.
Some career highlights include a recurring guest star in Squid Game, a strong supporting alongside Daniel Henney in Confidential Assignment 2: International, and a lead role in the upcoming dramatic feature Under the Surface.
In 2023, on the narrative side, I shot a lead in a sci-fi short for DUST, a lead in a dramatic feature, a supporting lead in a horror feature, a supporting in a Lifetime movie, and a co-star in a Korean TV series. On the commercial side, I shot a principal in a global digital for Samsung, a print campaign for New Balance, and voiced the launch campaigns of two new Krafton video games.
I'm currently training with Rob Brownstein in LA, recently trained with James Monarski through Baron Brown Studio, and studied improv at The Groundlings. I'm also a director of theater and short films, and, when in Seoul, I lead a weekly scene study workshop.
Thanks and be great!
Hi there!
After working as an actor and voice actor in South Korea for over a decade, doing recurring and principal roles in internationally acclaimed movies and TV shows, like Squid Game, Narco-Saints, and Confidential Assignment 2: International, I began making inroads back into the US industry last year.
I now split my time between Seoul and LA. Can also work local in NYC and the SF Bay Area.
In 2023, on the narrative side, I shot a lead in a sci-fi short for DUST, a lead in a dramatic feature, a supporting lead in a horror feature, a supporting in a Lifetime movie, and a co-star in a Korean TV series.
On the commercial side, I shot a principal in a global digital for Samsung, a print campaign for New Balance, and voiced the launch campaigns of two new Krafton video games.
I'm currently training with Rob Brownstein in LA, and recently trained with James Monarski through Baron Brown Studio and studied improv at The Groundlings.

Be great!
