He received his PhD from Hongik University College of Fine Arts and has published numerous papers and works related to furniture design. While thinking about how to connect the expertise he has accumulated with the life of this era, he challenged himself to write a book that is read by the public rather than a thesis. Since April 2015, he has been contributing his talents as a bi-weekly column to CROSS in Chungju, Korea, and has also contributed to various media such as the bi-monthly educational magazine Mindeulle, Korean Air’s in-flight magazine Beyond, and the daily newspaper *Hankyoreh. She wants to write healthily and happily and hopes to connect with others through her writing.
