She began her musical journey by learning the cello from her mother, a cellist, and was deeply drawn to the process of making music after watching Yo-Yo Ma’s Inspired by Bach project at the age of eleven. After moving to Vienna for her studies, she set personal goals to grow from a performer into a musician, and ultimately into a more thoughtful human being, choosing conducting as a way to understand music beyond the level of individual performance. While a performer focuses on their own part, she sees the conductor as someone who shapes the overall flow of the orchestra and defines where the music is heading. Spending seventeen years in Austria led her to understand music as something inseparable from everyday life, a perspective that continues to influence her interpretations and working approach. She places greater importance on communication than on interpretation, focusing on sharing the direction and purpose of the music with the musicians. Her debut at the Golden Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna, conducting Ravel’s La Valse, marked a turning point when she realized she could tell her own story through music. She is currently working with the Jeju Philharmonic Orchestra to build a distinctive sound and a strong sense of ensemble.
