Founder & Producer
Jinung was born in Busan, South Korea and grew up in a small town in Ontario, where he discovered the importance of stories and how they connect us.
He created Legacy Films for others to learn from the strength and resilience of family history, just as he learned from stories about the sacrifices his parents made on their life journeys.
Today, Jinung and his team continue to fulfill the needs of those who value the importance of preserving stories for a better tomorrow.
Jinung has a degree in Social Cultural Anthropology (BA, University of Toronto) with more than 20 years of living and learning about life in the Dominican Republic and Japan.
