Media & Outreach
Two decades of press, documentaries and public engagement — and where to find the originals.
I have been covered by the Korean and Japanese press since 2004, when I was six. What began as coverage of a child has become, over two decades, a long public record — documentaries, interviews, and the occasional front page. This is where the originals live.
Featured
SBS Special
A documentary on my life in academia, filmed immediately before I enlisted in the Republic of Korea Army.
Screening Humanity (인간극장)
Two five-episode documentary series following my life through elementary and high school.
Press archive
Original newspaper scans, in full.
“Eight-year-old physics genius enters university”
By Kim Ji-hyun. The national feature on my admission to the Physics department at Inha University — my study of the Schrödinger equation, fourteen-hour days, and a stated ambition to work at CERN. Two pages, front page and continuation.
Roundtable with Harry Shum, Microsoft Research Asia
A meeting at Microsoft Korea with Harry Shum, then Managing Director of Microsoft Research Asia and later EVP of Microsoft AI & Research. He advised me to expand my horizons and study abroad — advice I eventually took.
Coverage
Since 2004, my journey & work have been documented across television, radio and print in Korea and Japan — more than 500 appearances in total, including these outlets.
Outreach
I like explaining things, and I learn best by teaching. I am glad to hear from journalists, producers, conference organisers and schools — particularly for anything on neutrinos, machine learning in the physical sciences, quantum computing, or what an unusual education actually looks like from the inside.
