Sang-Joon Park
Director, Seoul Science Fiction Archive
Park Sang-Joon was born in Seoul in 1967. For the past 25 years, Park has been working as translator of science fiction and general science, columnist, and lecturer, and currently holds the post of Director of the Seoul SF Archive. He has been keen on observing how humans adapt to the ever accelerating developments in science and technology, and the role that SF will play both as a form of entertainment and as “a kind of sociology of the future” (Alvin Toffler, Future Shock).
Park earned his bachelor’s degree in Earth and Marine Sciences from Hanyang University in Seoul and went onto study Comparative Literature at the graduate level at Seoul National University. He was editor-in-chief at Fantastique, a literary magazine for genre fiction, founder of Omelia, a publishing company dedicated to science fiction, General Director of the Gwacheon International SF Festival organized by the Gwacheon National Science Museum, and a member of the Se-un Forum, an advisory board to the Seoul Metropolitan Government. The list of some 30 works includes a translation of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 and a co-authoring of 100 Years of General Relativity.
