Black History Month : Korean Music Edition part 1

K so, in honor of black history month, I have decided to make a post about black people in the Korean music industry. Now, I know these 3 women aren't the only ones that are involved in Korean music but since I am more familiar with them, I decided to spotlight them. So here we go!

1) Insooni 







Insooni (Hangul: 인순이; born Kim In-Soon (김인순) on April 5, 1957) is a famous female South Korean singer. Insooni made her debut in 1978 in a group "Hee sisters (희자매)". Since then she has recorded a total of 19 albums (14 regular). She is now South Korea's acclaimed R&B diva with a wide range of fans, even though nearly 30 years have passed since her debut. She is one of the few singers who performed at Carnegie Hall in New York and earned several top prizes at broadcasters' annual award ceremonies. She is distinguished by her rich, throaty voice on stage. She was born to a Korean mother and an African American father, who served in the US military in South Korea, and was brought up by her mother alone, with the assistance of Pearl S. Buck International's child sponsorship program. She is now regarded as one of the best female singers in South Korea.
If you've watched Dream High, you've definitely heard this song before!








I had to add this last one cuz  she definitely pulled it off very nicely :)

Can anyone guess who's gonna be in part 2 of Black History Month : Korean Music Edition?
