The Trace of the Airstrip Blackout
This work, "The New Generation of the Year," which was created in 2017, unfolds the stories of forgotten people in Korea’s modern history, dealing with the universal theme of identity loss and existential anxiety.

Question about Boundaries, Re-Examination of the Theater
The Army of the Extreme Duo is a play that reflects all boundaries. The play’s characters are constantly confident of solving big and small problems: whether they are going to buy a bag or not or whether a cat is alive or dead. Those who are not confident sink into the darkness. In a situation where light and darkness, daily life and plays, the stage and audience, transgressors and observers turn around, the audience drifts into anxiety and confusion that dominate the stage. At the end, the drama asks about the meaning of living and acting.
