After completing his graduate studies in ceramics at Seoul National University, he is now working as a ceramic artist in Yanggu, Gangwon Province. Yanggu holds historical significance as a source of white clay (baekto) during the Josun Dynasty, supplying essential materials to royal kilns. This historical context deeply informs his current focus on white porcelain (baekja).

Josun white porcelain is a craft that requires a high level of skill and dedication. Every aspect of the process—selecting and refining materials, shaping the form, and firing—demands precision, experience, and a deep commitment. What fascinates him about Josun baekja is its range of white tones, which vary by era and environment. These variations reflect the materials and conditions of their times, revealing a sense of human presence, discipline, and a timeless aesthetic ideal.

As a contemporary ceramic artist, he constantly reflects on the significance of traditional ceramics in today’s world. Rather than pursuing flawless perfection, he aims to create works that embody the spirit and attitude of past artisans while also expressing something new through the hands of a modern maker.
