"I want to create characters that can appeal to people of all ages and genders."

Although I was not someone who frequently watched movies when I was younger, I always made sure to watch 3D animated films from Disney and Pixar. Watching captivating characters such as the protagonists from Tangled and Frozen, along with their visually stunning presentations, made me think that I wanted to create something similar one day. Regardless of age or gender, these characters had a charm that resonated with everyone. I wanted to deliver to audiences that simple yet powerful feeling of enjoyment that I experienced while watching those films.

However, I felt that choosing a career path based on a brief thought would be too hasty, so I decided to give myself more time and think about it more seriously. As I entered high school, I considered various career paths, but around the time of graduation, I thought to myself that I wanted to start pursuing this interest again and began looking into academies.

That was when I first came across SF Film School through a YouTube Shorts video titled "A Korean Student's 3D Animation That Won a World Competition." I was immediately amazed by the quality of the work because it was difficult to believe that it had been created by a student. I quickly visited the academy’s website and saw practice materials, classrooms, small class sizes, and portfolios from current students — many of the things I had been looking for while researching academies. Seeing all of those aspects together made me feel that this was a place I could trust.

After going through the challenging interview and application process and finally hearing that I had been accepted, I felt filled with excitement and happiness.

I would describe myself as someone who explores beyond what I am taught — if I learn one thing, I naturally become curious enough to investigate three more. I also believe I have a personality that gets along well with others and adapts easily in group environments. With a strong desire to explore and a personality that allows me to work well with others, I will give my best effort in both learning and growing. I will work hard and dedicate myself fully to learning.
