Welcome to HJmodeling.com!

I am HJ Yun, a 47-year-old “common” office worker who you may meet in any hustle-bustle big Asian cities. Born, raised and living in Seoul, South Korea, I have my own family with a wife and two kids (daughter and son). Since 2003, I have worked for a government-owned company established for promoting trades of Korea.

Although I like all kinds of toys, my interest lies mainly on plastic hobby models. I was a boy who liked to spend a free time in tearing off tiny plastic parts from sprues (with my teeth) and putting them together (with cheap, yellow, and nose-running-like glue!). After a decade’s leave from a hobby modeling, caused by a world-famous burden of study all Korean middle- and high-school students ought to bear, I re-started to build plastic airplanes since 2001. As I am still young and busy in working, it is hard for me to keep this hobby going on, but I really hope to share a pleasure that a hobby modeling brings to me with other modelers around the world.

Other things I’m doing well, include writing reports for work (i.e. an essential skill to survive as a office worker), sitting without moving (i.e. great morale for modelers), and chatting with others about trivial things. Unfortunately, my hands that are quite skillful at handling tiny plastic stuffs, often kill plants my wife grow, or show an extreme inability in cooking.

HAPPY Jet modeling and browsing!
HJ Yun
