I was born on Jeju Island. After graduating from high school, I spent about a year working at an agency in Seoul, learning the ropes in the field, then returned to Jeju. From 1993, I worked with a theater troupe and appeared for seven years in Jeju-language reenactment dramas and dramas on Jeju KBS. Since then, I have also appeared in two Jeju-language dramas on Jeju MBC, as well as numerous feature-length and short films, including ＜em＞Gyec​hun Halmeoni＜/em＞ and ＜em＞The Poet and His Love＜/em＞. I have enjoyed fishing with my father since I was four, so I still occasionally go light fishing. Bowling was once a hobby of mine, and I was even complimented on my excellent form. More recently, inspired by an encounter through a film’s leading actor, I began learning tango and have now performed onstage. Since I live on Jeju, I sometimes catch crabs and bomal sea snails, and I can free-dive to a depth of 5 meters for a haenyeo role. I still very much want to act, and I love being on set. I am happy to work anywhere on Jeju, and I can also work anywhere on the mainland!
