He began directing in 2002 at KBS, a South Korean public broadcaster and has since produced popular teenage dramas such as "Dream High" in 2011. He has dabbled in a variety of genres and experimented with various aspects. He has already directed dramas depicting romance.

He is fascinated by the themes regarding the conflict between good and evil and other subjects which are rarely addressed in different genres. He believes that good luck plays a vital role in his success, but he also believes that his attempt to listen to other's opinions and to agree with collaboration too plays an important role.
