In search of the perfect sound, Jinsang took an unusual extra path. At Steinway Austria, under the direction of Stefan Knüpfer (piano technique master and protagonist of the documentary "Pianomania"), he continued to educate himself in order to understand in detail the entire manufacturing process and the technique of the piano. At Steinway Hamburg factory he himself learned the craft of piano making.

He started his musical training with Daejin Kim in Korea, continued his studies with Wolfgang Manz and Julia Goldstein in Germany and graduated with Pavel Gililov in Austria.
A passionate chamber musician, he is a member of the Beethoven Trio Bonn and performs with them in various chamber music concerts. By 2020, the complete recording of the Beethoven Piano Trios will be released with the Beethoven Trio Bonn.
Jinsang is currently a faculty member at the Korea National University of Arts.
