Who I Am

Seoul-based.
Locally fluent.

I'm Soo Jung DO — a producer, director, and photographer with over 15 years inside Korean broadcasting, NGO campaigning, and international event coverage. Trained in Film at Seoul Institute of the Arts and English Literature at Sogang University.

I've covered GRA's Electrify Asia-Pacific in Yeosu (2026) and the CEM16/MI-10 Conference in Busan (2025), produced campaign photography for Greenpeace East Asia, and made documentaries for MBC, KBS, SBS, and EBS.

When international clients bring an event to Korea, the hardest part isn't the photography — it's navigating the ground. I've spent 15 years learning exactly that.
