Eun-sook Jin (Unsuk Chin) (born July 14, 1961, Seoul) is a female Korean composer of classical music, based in Germany.
Chin studied musical composition in Seoul National University with Gang seok-hui, then in Hamburg with György Ligeti, and has adapted much of his musical style into her own. She uses traditional instruments as well as electronics in her compositions. In the words of the composer, she is "fascinated with virtuosity," which explains her devilishly challenging Violin Concerto, for which she won a Grawemeyer in 2004, and Double Concerto for Piano, Percussion, and Ensemble of 2002.
The Arnold Schoenberg Center in Austria awarded her a prize worth 12,500 Euros.
She won the International Gaudeamus Competition for Composers in 1985.
