Ever since I was a child, I dreamt of becoming a singer. It wasn’t for the fame or the popularity. It was just out of my pure curiosity and deep passion for singing and dancing. I would sing and dance in front a mirror, holding my imaginary microphone. I hardly knew time was passing by, I was always drunk in the soul of music. I was so happy, I truly was.

 

Indeed, my father is a well-known singer in South Korea. I do carry more opportunities and experiences compared to others. However, I also carry much more burden, expectation, and hate than anyone else. I was always under the public eye, which allowed me to question more about who I want to become.

 

I always wanted to prove and show that I was someone, without the “famous father.” I wanted people to look at me for who I am. I wanted people to like me for who I am. I wanted people to accept me for who I am. I was tired of the comparison made between my father and I. I constantly promised myself, “I am me, no matter what.”

 

During the summer, I got the chance to participate in a national survival television show for four months. My hands got sweaty. My stomach filled with butterflies. My heart jumped a million beats per second. My eyes couldn’t stay still. My legs were shaking. My body already missed home. Right away, I knew there was no turning backs.

 

Forty against one. Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know who to trust or who to believe. Nor did I know how to deal with the abundant amount of physical and emotional pain I’ve received. The battle I fought with myself was the most unspeakable agony I’ve ever went through. I was told, “She is too ugly, too fat, unworthy, untalented, and shouldn’t even be performing in the first place.” Soon, resulted to anxiety and extreme low self-esteem.

 

Every Tuesday, we were ranked. I was placed last, every week. At first, I was disappointed and upset by the result I’ve received. I didn’t wanted to believe it. I didn’t want to acknowledge anything, but I guess I thought I had a certain advantage myself. I sobbing cried until I couldn’t breathe. I just couldn’t stop my tears, it was nearly impossible. Soon moments past, I realized scores aren’t relevant. I was proud of who I am. I practiced all day for hours and hours. I lost my voice. I was aching every inch of boy. I controlled my diet. I committed to the my choices I made. I made sure to show improvement. Most importantly, I made sure to show myself that I can do it. I believed at least one person would recognize my efforts.

 

I have experienced torture, but I have no regrets. I’m thankful to learn valuable life lessons. Also, I’ve got to experience what it’s like to be a k-pop singer, which was my ultimate dream. I’m proud to say that I got to improve my skills and develop as a person. I’m still trying to understand, what I want for myself. So I ask, what’s next? I’m ready for my next challenge.


 

Who do you believe to be the three major artists and designers who are shaping the discipline you are interested in pursuing or who have influenced you?  These should be individuals who have brought relevance to the world or to you in some social, political, emotional, economic, or other meaningful context.  Explain why you feel they are important.  In what ways do you want your own work to contribute to or make a difference in the world?

I remember my very first digital camera. It was a hot pink Sony camera with a touch of iridescent gloss on top, gifted from my dear mother. I can still illustrate myself jumping up and down like a kangaroo with the biggest giggles in the world. I couldn’t explain the excitement in my guts. My curiosity empowered. At that moment, I knew photography is what I wanted to pursue.

 

Gi Seok Cho is the scientist of visual photography that studies his vision through captivating experiments. Cho greatly inspires me today to find my own color because he defines the term “identity” through a single image. He continuously designs various of work by incorporating all kinds of materials. His work is unpredictable, as it keeps me on my tippy-toes. Also, the artist challenges himself to apply meaningful context with distinguished observation and realistic choice of color.

 

Another inspiration is Jdz Chung, who captures the little moments of life. Each of his work represents a memory, which one wants to remember forever. Chung creates a connection by keeping the feelings alive. One of his delightful charms is it’s originality and effortless look. He truly highlights exactly what life provides us by capturing the moments like a personal diary. He keeps his work classical to ensure that his image preserves its beauty and persistent.

 

Although Daniel Arnold is a street and fashion photographer, he keeps himself grounded to his surroundings. He casually walks around the streets of New York City to capture raw encounters and interesting coincidences. I instantly fell in love with Arnold’s work because he leaves it questionable. He gladly welcomes the viewers to enter his world. Also, I appreciate how he allows the viewers to finish the sentence with their own ideas and perspectives.

 

I believe that these three artists shape the path I’m pursuing today, which motivates me to keep on challenging myself. I hope I can apply my unique vision, in hopes of impacting the world and bringing out people’s imaginations. Throughout my work, I want others to escape the limit and break typical stereotypes. My objective goal as a potential photographer, is to guide others to stay outside their comfort zone. I hope that my future work will successfully grow not to satisfy others, but to communicate with a authentic sight.
