I am a Korean-British writer and actor from Seoul and Birmingham. I have appeared in feature films Awesomely Righteous and Radical, London Sweeties, in an episode of EastEnders, and in award-winning short films National Anthem, and Estranged, which I co-produced. I trained at the Actors Centre, Home Studio London, PointZero Physical Theatre, and CORE Theatre Laboratory. In 2020, I took part in the Solo Show Creation Lab by Haley McGee (creator of The Ex-Boyfriend Yard Sale and Age is a Feeling). I am a New Earth Theatre Performers Academy alumni member, and have been inspired by my mentor, Sabrina Mahfouz, to pursue writing and performing political feminist work.
In 2022, I was commissioned to develop a solo show on Starting Blocks at Camden People’s Theatre (CPT), which became I’m Sorry I’m Not Lucy Liu: a playful and political choose-your-own-adventure time-travel show about my quest to live up to my lookalike idol’s life and career. The show is supported by Arts Council England and will debut at CPT as a work-in-progress show in June 2023. A full run of the show will be part of CPT’s Autumn season. I’d love to see you at the show, if you can make it!

“Women were invented ages ago, before the 1960s, because God realised very quickly that Adam needed an audience for his jokes. Anyway, ‘his’ plan went badly wrong, because Eve was much funnier than Adam.”
