About Me

Hi, nice to meet you! My name is Minki. I’m an actor, creator, and, most importantly, a storyteller.

I think stories are pretty powerful. They have the unique ability to connect people across time and space. I believe in using them to empower my community with cultural narratives and performances that are adventurous, truthful, and a little silly. Whether performing as a little star in a fully devised musical about space or creating a solo documentary piece on the first Korean-American flying ace, my work focuses on celebrating identity, belonging, and our place in a larger, often unjust, world.

As an artist, I want to explore finding joy on stage and inviting audiences to share that joy. How can we inspire celebration? I want to experiment with the “unexpected”.  How can I continually delight and surprise audiences by subverting expectations of theatre? Most of all, I am dedicated to finding the fun, a sense of play, and convincing a casting director to hire me, a 6-feet man with little musical theatre experience, to play Boq in Wicked.
