About me
Driven by Curiosity, Defined by Integrity
For over a decade, my nightly ritual of bedtime stories instilled a foundational question:
"Why?" That simple inquiry became the engine of my journey, transforming wonder
into tangible creation.
From tracing human anatomy with crayons to designing systems that use data and code to bridge global divides, I have cultivated a deeply interdisciplinary mind.
When something draws me in—be it history, technology, or a complex problem—
I pursue it with a relentless depth.
My enduring mission is to connect my passions with meaningful global impact, anchored by consistent sincerity. I believe in living with integrity, ensuring my actions reflect my words and my work contributes to a sustainable future.

“Be critical.
Be a smart consumer.
Be respectful to artists.
Because without them,
there is no art. ”
TEDx DaejeongEup Youth Speaker, Dayoung Lee
The Simple Vitality I Found in Running
At first, even 2 kilometers left me breathless.
Six weeks of 30-minute runs changed that.
I crossed the finish line of a local 10K marathon—
a medal around my neck,
a smile I couldn’t hide.
The passing scenery.
The sweat on my skin.
The heartbeat in my chest.
All became the energy that powers my days,
and the instinct to leap boldly
into whatever comes next.
