So, this is me.

Raised in a traditional Korean family (i.e.,structured and composed), I developed a quiet curiosity for everything just beyond its edges. Based between London and Seoul, I divide my time between academia and a small number of carefully chosen private engagements.

My career is central to my life; availability is therefore limited and extended selectively. I’m drawn to connection shaped by mutual intrigue, subtle tension, and chemistry best explored in private.

I am warm, attentive, and fully present. I’m most at ease with thoughtful, accomplished people whose generosity is instinctive. Someone that values meaningful experiences and unhurried time together.

Further details are shared privately, once mutual interest is established. If this resonates, I would be delighted to hear from you.

In three words, I am.

Wanderlust

A strong desire to travel

It would be difficult to think of me without first thinking of how effortlessly at home I am wherever I land. There is a certain liberation in belonging nowhere and possessing nothing too tightly. Detachment, to me, is freedom.

I do not anchor myself to places or to people. I exist fully in the present — defined only by who I am in this moment.

I prefer my life considered, uncluttered, and quietly refined.

Quirk

An aspect of somebody’s personality or behavior that is a little strange

I am deeply curious about life — perhaps excessively so. Some might call it eccentric; I prefer to think of it as attentiveness. With two master’s degrees behind me, I remain far more fascinated by people than by credentials. Few things intrigue me more than understanding how someone truly lives — what moves them, what unsettles them, what they never say aloud.

I am rarely shy. I tend to hold eye contact a moment longer than expected and ask questions that are rarely offered the space to exist.

I find a certain elegance in candor. Saying what I genuinely think may not always align with conventional strategies for charm, but it creates something far more compelling: clarity. Why perform when sincerity is far more magnetic? We only move through this life once — it seems wasteful not to meet it, and each other, with honesty.

Indulgence

The state or act of having or doing whatever you want

Ambition matters to me, but living well matters more. I value the freedom to choose how I spend my time — deliberately, not by default. I may not have lived decades, but I’ve lived enough to understand that regret is an expense I refuse to carry. Indulgence, in the right measure, is wisdom.

You won’t find me lingering where I do not wish to be, nor investing in company that does not resonate. Some may call it selfish; I call it discernment. For me, there is only one way to live — intentionally.
