Born and raised in Jeju Island, Moon Hyojin spent her childhood playing the piano in a two-story house with views of Hallasan Mountain to the right and the sea to the left. Her teenage years were marked by a perception of Jeju as a confined space, but she grew into adulthood studying piano and music in Melbourne, Australia, and Seoul. Now back in her hometown, she works to document the disappearing aspects of Jeju. She is not only active as a pianist, composer, performance planner, reporter, and writer, but also transcends the boundaries of art through projects like music exhibitions, Music Bookmarks, and Sound Map.
