Youngmin has been reviving the ancient craft of Jogakbo, a form of patchwork Bojagi made with leftover remnants of fabric and Saeksilnubi, Korean quilting, since moving to San Francisco in 1996. Youngmin’s work have been exhibited and collected throughout the United States and abroad. The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco has her work in the museum collection.

In 2017, she founded the Korean Textile Tour to introduce Korean traditional textile art and culture. She leads this tour annually and travels with textile enthusiasts to learn textile traditions in Korea.
