Hi, I’m Jihoon (Andy) Jeon, currently attending Korean Minjok Leadership Academy (KMLA).
I like to think of myself as someone who builds things that connect people — whether that’s a chatbot that listens, a prosthetic hand that moves naturally, or a musical that makes the audience feel seen.

I’m drawn to projects where engineering meets empathy. I enjoy experimenting, failing, and trying again until something trully changes with an idea. Outside the lab, you’ll usually find me behind a camera, at a musical stage, or watching classical cinemas.
