HJ began her musical studies at the age of three under Jong-Sun Kim and her prodigious talent was quickly recognised. Aged twelve, HJ decided of her own accord to relocate to France where she immersed herself in the musical world of the composers who had shaped her early years. Five months later she graduated from the Conservatoire National Région de Compiègne with First Prize and highest distinction in the class of Marc Hoppeler. She became the youngest ever person to obtain the ‘Diplôme d'Etudes Musicales Complètes’ of Normandy in France, aged just fifteen.
Since her studies, HJ has developed a reputation as a first-class performing and recording artist. In August 2010, she performed the complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas over eight consecutive days in Paris and one year later she went on to record the complete cycle for EMI Classics with whom she now records exclusively. Her eagerly-anticipated second album will feature works by Ravel and Scriabin.
Upcoming concerto appearances include performances with the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra of Moscow Radio at the Tonhalle Zurich, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Stavanger Symphony Orchestra, Bilkent Symphony, Hofer Symphoniker, Orquestra Sinfónica Metropolitana as well as recital tours of the UK and South America.
