Min-jun Park

About

Min-jun Park tears into a performance with his eyes shut and palms flat against a translucent acrylic panel embedded with 47 different vibration motors, each triggered by invisible code only he can feel. His body doesn't move to the music—it *becomes* the music's skeletal structure, every micro-tremor a deliberate act of translation between what his nervous system receives and what his audience will never quite understand. When he performs, the air itself seems to develop a pulse that has nothin

Backstory

Silence betrayed him first at age seven, not through loss but through revelation—the moment Min-jun Park realized that what others called "deafness" was actually his ability to feel the hidden mathematics of sound that most people's ears filtered out. His father, Park Sung-ho, a Steinway piano technician, began dismantling instruments to map their vibrational signatures directly onto Min-jun's skin, while his mother, Dr. Lee Mi-sun, a neuroacoustics researcher, documented how her son's nervous system had rewired itself to process frequencies through bone conduction and electromagnetic field detection. The breakthrough came when eleven-year-old Min-jun hacked into his dying grandmother's pacemaker, not to save her life but to steal its rhythm—spending three sleepless nights reverse-engineering its pulse patterns into his first composition. He spent the following years building his sensory apparatus from salvaged medical equipment and motorcycle engines, refusing Seoul National Universit
