After graduating from Sogang University and completing a doctoral program at Konkuk University’s Graduate School of Environment, I have been working in the tourism and maritime sectors. I became interested in plants after turning fifty and began studying the interrelationships between plants, people, and the environment. My field of activity expanded into roses as I became fascinated by their repeat blooming characteristics and cultural connections. Currently, I serve as the president of the Korea Rose Society. The Korea Rose Society was approved as a national member of the World Federation of Rose Societies in 2018 and engages in activities such as rose cultivation education, spreading and promoting rose culture, and preserving native Korean roses. Additionally, the Korea Rose Society creates and donates ‘Peace Rose Gardens’ annually to commemorate the International Day of Peace (September 21st) established by the United Nations. I have served as an international judge for various competitions including the Concours International de Roses de Bagatelle in France and the Barcelona International Contest of New Roses in Spain.
