Born in South Korea, MinJin became the youngest scholar ever to be accepted at the Purcell School of Music in London at the age of seven. Her prodigious talents on the violin were quickly displayed when she won the prestigious Premier Mozart International competition in Italy at the age of eleven and the following year made her debut as soloist in Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole with the Berlin Symphony Orchestra. Performances at major concert halls in Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain, Korea and London followed. At fifteen she was the youngest student to be awarded a Foundation Scholarship at the Royal College of Music.
