BIOGRAPHY

弘益大学校にて金属工芸とデザインを学んだ後、韓国のソウルを拠点に活動。身の回りにある素材から、さまざまな日用品をつくっていた農業家の祖父の影響を受け、幼少期から自らの手で身近な素材をもとに新たに作り出すことに楽しみを見出してきた。その体験をもとに、日常のものに新たな意味と機能を与える手法で日々制作を続けている。最近は、素材が別の素材と結びつく瞬間を発見することをテーマに次々と新作を発表している。Design Miami/Baselで審査員特別賞（2009年）、韓国政府文化部のArtist of the Year（2011年）、Yaol/韓国文化遺産協会のYoung Craftsman of the Year（2013年）など受賞多数。

After studying metal crafts and design at Hongik University, he has been based in Seoul, South Korea. Influenced by his grandfather, who was a farmer and created various everyday items from materials around him, he has found joy in creating new things from familiar materials since childhood. Drawing from these experiences, he continues to create daily, giving new meaning and function to ordinary objects. Recently, his work has focused on discovering moments when materials come together with other materials as a theme, presenting new pieces one after another.
He has received numerous awards, including the Jury Special Prize at Design Miami/Basel (2009), Artist of the Year from the Korean Ministry of Culture (2011), and Young Craftsman of the Year from the Yaol/Korean Cultural Heritage Association (2013).
