Born in Seoul, he commenced vocal studies immediately after finishing Junior
College in 1996 initially with the baritones Kyo-Young Jin and Kwang-Bin Chung,
then with the soprano Young-Ae Mun and finally with the bass Jo-Han Kim until receiving
his diploma in 2005. Two out of these years were taken up by serving in the military.
Koni, as he is frequently called by his friends, initially enrolled at Soong-Sil
University, later in 2003 changing over to Myoung-Ji University in Seoul. In 2005 he relocated
to Germany for further studies working with the tenors Ki-Chun Park (Stuttgart) and David Kim (Frankfurt).
It has always been his dream to communicate his innermost feelings beyond the barriers of language
and culture with as many people as possible.
Since October 2007 he is member of the opera chorus at the
theater in Regensburg.
