Hi! My name’s Gyujin, but you can call me Q ♥️

​

I moved to NYC in 2008 with no singing, acting, or English language skills. After just 3 years of intense study and training, I booked my first role: Luisa in THE FANTASTICKS! Soon after, I became the first Korean to play a principal role on Broadway in 15 years, with a debut opposite Kelli O’Hara and Hoon Lee in the Tony Award–winning revival of THE KING AND I. Dreams do come true!

 

But I need you to know that it didn’t come easily.

 

I grew up in South Korea, where verbal abuse is pretty standard in education. I spent so many years hearing (and believing) that I had no potential, I was already an adult when I finally found the will to try. Then when I got to the U.S., the language barrier was a monster. I know what it’s like to feel lost, hopeless, and untalented.

 

I also know that good tools and big dreams can set you free.

 

That’s why I wanted to be a teacher: my mentors gave me the strength to believe that anything is possible.

 

I’m certified through the Institute of Vocal Advancement and pull from over 10 years of vocal training with some of the best coaches in NYC.

 

Let’s turn your dreams into possibilities. I can’t wait to meet you!
