Based in Seoul, he approaches DJing not as a way to play songs, but as a way to shape a shared emotional space. A resident DJ at Kookie, one of Seoul’s queer clubs, he is interested not in constant intensity, but in slower transformations: the moment when strangers begin to trust the room, when warmth turns into tension, and when a dancefloor begins to feel suspended somewhere between heat and cosmos.

Drawing from house, techno and leftfield club music, his sets are built with patience. Tracks are given time to breathe, and repetition is used not to impress, but to deepen. Instead of moving quickly from one moment to the next, he focuses on what happens when a feeling is allowed to fully arrive.

Each set is treated like an event with its own arc: opening the room, dissolving the distance between people, and leaving behind a sense that something quietly changed.

For him, DJing is not about being the center of attention. It is about changing the air.
