Julia Riew — Composer & Storyteller

Julia Riew first introduced Dive as her Harvard senior thesis, a musical inspired by the folktale of Shimcheong. When she began sharing songs from the show online, they spread quickly and the project became known as a “Korean Disney princess” musical. The project is now in development with the American Repertory Theater.

Her work has also reached young readers through The Last Tiger, a New York Times bestselling novel that blends history and myth to reimagine her grandparents’ story.

Julia has described storytelling as her way of practicing empathy and stepping into new worlds. At Green Lantern, we see that same power in folktales. These are stories that carry culture, teach values, and give children everywhere a chance to dream beyond their circumstances.
