Where are you from?
I’m from in Seoul, South Korea. My hometown is the capital of Korea and a city that is successful in the development of the electronics.

When did you start to train ballet and what was your motivation?
I started to train ballet probably at age of 12 years. After 2 years I joined a professional school of arts.

What has been the most special moment of your dance career so far?
The most special moment for me was when I first came to Munich. I still remember meeting new teachers, making new friends and learning new dance styles. It was very stimulating and exciting for me.

How would you describe yourself?
I can say about me that I am charming, kind, friendly and sometimes quiet.

What were your first experiences in Dortmund?
My first experience in Dortmund was with my family. We took a car from Munich (where I was studying), and they helped me move all my furniture and belongings to my new apartment.

What dreams do you have?
Dancer or choreographer – I would love to once dance MacMilan’s Romeo and Juliet or Jiri Kilian’s Gods and Dogs.

What are your interests besides dancing?
In my free time I really enjoy listening to music and watching movies. I also like playing with make up when I get a chance – applying it to myself or even my friends. If I weren’t a dancer, I would like to try to be an actress on the big screen.
