Bio

Han G-in, a Korean adoptee born in Seoul and raised in Minnesota, reclaimed her Korean identity through her name, cultural experiences, and lifelong dedication to traditional arts. Despite early feelings of displacement and limited acceptance from some culturally Korean communities, formative relationships with Korean women, and profound encounters with Korean dance helped her build a sense of belonging. Her commitment to learning traditional dance and drumming led her to study with multiple teachers in Korea and the U.S., eventually taking leadership of the JangmiArts troupe to support adoptees and Korean American youth. She emphasizes creating safe, affirming spaces—especially for adoptees and LGBTQIA+ students—while fostering future teachers who can connect deeply with Korean culture.
