Soyung Lee lives and works in Seoul, South Korea. She examines the notion of a regional culture and its effect on individual histories, internal conflicts, and sensibilities. After working on a project about Korean Diasporas in Central Asia from 2011 to 2013, she continues to experiment on multimedia projects dealing with languages and identities of minority groups such as migrant workers, immigrants, and Diasporas in society. She received a BFA at the Art Center College of Art (1998) and an MFA at Korea National University of Arts as a fine arts-media major (2004).
