My guest on this week’s show is choreographer, movement director and visual artist Che Yubina.

I jumped on a Zoom call to find out more about Che’s pivotal moment of creative transformation, why she recently retired from her Cheshir Ha persona, deep dive into her choreography work, new-found artistic freedom and her mission to challenge the idea of perfection within the K-pop music industry.

This is part one of our two-part interview.
