Jung

Ian is a Korean-American actor whose work is rooted in music, memory, and the search for belonging. Trained as a classical cellist at the Manhattan School of Music and La Escola de Música Victòria dels Àngels, the emotional vocabulary of music continues to shape his evolving approach to acting and storytelling. After immigrating at age eleven and growing up between cultures, he turned to film and music, finding in them reflections of feelings he couldn’t yet express, a resonance that continues to shape his artistic voice. Ian spent the past decade acting in South Korea, appearing in Uncle Samsik (Disney+), and on stage in What’s Wrong with Popular Novels?! (selected 2023 Best 7 Korean Play). His training includes method acting with Sam Kim (Actors Studio alumnus), intensive courses at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, and further study with mentors such as Paul Pryce, Hyojin Park, Bruce Baek, and Elise Moon. Ian also writes; his recent film Joseph was shot in New York and is now in post-production. IG: @_ianiamian
