About the Author
Originally from South Korea, Hwang began his career as a breakdancer before relocating to the United States to study vocal performance. Within five years, he made his Broadway debut in The Prom, becoming the first native Korean to perform at the Tony Awards. He later joined the original cast of & Juliet, and has since built a career across theater and screen, with credits including KPOP, In the Heights, Pose, and Iron Fist.
What began as a personal tool during a period of transition has evolved into a structured daily method now being shared with a wider audience.
Drawing from his own experiences navigating significant life changes, Hwang developed The Rule of Five Journal as a practical system for reflecting on thoughts, emotions, and daily experiences.
