A little bit about me...


Hello, world! My name is Soomin. I am a singer, a graphic designer, a dancer, an INFP, a Ravenclaw, a Virgo—on the cusp of Leo and Virgo—aaaand a composer. I love swimming, camping, playing select video games (but not all), spending time with my cat and dog, and making Korean food. I also love IPAs and sour candies.

... does not remember the footprints of birds is vaguely about remembrance and oblivion. Funny enough, I finished this piece just before the pandemic hit, and I don’t remember much about the process of writing this piece.

Huge thanks to Ji Su Jung for commissioning and premiering the piece!
