I am a landscape architect and a Ph.D. candidate in Urban Planning, observing South Korea through the intersections of design, urban space, social change, and architectural tradition. As a devoted fan of K-pop and K-dramas since 2018—and an ARMY and ATINY at heart—my research is deeply connected with my exploration of contemporary cultural dynamics.
