Sean's first professional credit — assistant on the music team for Yonggary (1999), Korea's highest-budget film at the time ($13.5M). Directed by Shim Hyung-rae, the VFX kaiju blockbuster drew 1.7 million admissions in Korea.

Featuring 124 miniatures for city destruction sequences and 45 minutes of CGI, the film was later re-released internationally as 'Reptilian' through Columbia TriStar. A landmark production in Korean visual effects history — and Sean's entry into the industry.
