YoungKwang “YK” Jun

YoungKwang “YK” Jun is music director for Annual Conference 2026. A member of the Greater New Jersey Conference of The United Methodist Church, Jun first served as a church pianist at the age of five. He believes music is a divine gift from God – capable of transcending barriers and speaking to the heart with power and grace. His ministry embraces global musical expressions, including Asian, Latin, and African genres, weaving them into the fabric of worship to enrich the spiritual life of the Church.

Jun’s journey is deeply intertwined with that of his wife, Rev. Sooah Na, an Ordained Elder in the Greater New Jersey Conference. Together, they form a dynamic ministry team, united in their passion for inspiring hearts and proclaiming God’s love through the transformative power of music.
