Arguably the least talented member of the Jung family, Yoosung, a name that means "shooting star", has managed to carve out an adequate, if not respectable, name in the short film community. The son of a concert pianist and an aspiring TV director, storytelling became second nature to him. Even after moving 13 times and exploring career paths just as often — from working as an EMT at 18 to becoming a member of The Recording Academy, he's returned to filmmaking, using his unique background to turn adequacy into something meaningful.
