Juyoung Koh is a theatre director whose work centers on collaboration, space, and audience experience.

With a strong foundation in lighting design and technical theatre, she approaches directing as both an artistic and structural practice, shaping not only performance, but the conditions in which meaning emerges.

Her work often explores contemporary social issues, women’s experiences, and stories shaped by migration. She spent five years with New Universe Theatre Company in South Korea, working within ensemble-based devised theatre and contributing to award-winning productions in directing, stage management, and production roles.

Born and raised in South Korea, Juyoung earned a BA in Theatre and Film Studies before relocating to the United States. She is currently based in San Marcos, TX, where she is pursuing an MFA in Theatre Directing at Texas State University. Her work explores the intersections of cultures, and communities, with a focus on creating meaningful and collaborative theatrical experiences. She is also a co-founder and associate director of JAEMI Theatre Company, where she remains committed to strengthening API-led theatre spaces and leadership.
