[edit]

My, there's a lot to be written about this woman. She started public performance the same day she entered college - I remember seeing an interview where she reminisced about taking the bus to school in the morning, looking at the other students and reflecting that they were starting something new as she was, but she was starting two things at once. I saw her perform early on in OBs Cabin in Myoungdong in Seoul, a young woman with a long mane of hair, a guitar, and a powerful voice. She became one of the primary performers of Kim Min-ki's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Min-ki)powerful protest songs, at a time when protest was courageous and dangerous. Her albums and songs were banned by the dictatorships. During the dark years of the Chun Doowhan dictatorship, she stood on a stage with a microphone during a candle-light vigil in Seoul and sang 아침 이슬 - an act of courage for which she easily could have been killed.

She was a friend of the US Peace Corps as well, actually came and helped with volunteer training, and made some fast friends among Peace Corps volunteers with whom she remains friends today.
