Many dramaturges highly praised his portrayal of UNCLE in Julia Cho's "Aubergine'"at South Coast Repertory (CA), including the playwright herself as the "most truthful, authentic & purely organic interpretation of the character."

He is the founder of EPI. (Emotional Proficiency Integration) technique/system, in which he incorporates the traditional American acting technique with the Korean acting style -to push the boundaries of the actor's 'emotional proficiency.'
