Astrophotographer

After graduating from the College of Engineering at Seoul National University, he worked in various fields such as submarine design, software development, and wired and wireless Internet management for large corporations and venture companies. Work was fun, but life as an office worker in Korea was not happy.

He has had eight solo exhibitions and has published five books. He was selected as the first Korean to be selected by NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day in the US, and he is providing the picture to the US National Geographic site. As a member of TWAN (The World At Night, www.twight.org), which consists of world-famous astrophotographers, he carried out a special project for the UNESCO-designated 'World Astronomical Year 2009'.
