Life

Yang Hee-eun (Korean: 양희은; Hanja: 楊姬銀; born August 13, 1952)^[1] is a South Korean singer and songwriter. Yang Hee-eun, the eldest of three girls in Gahoe-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, graduated from Seoul Jae-dong Elementary School, Gyeonggi Girls' Middle School, and Gyeonggi Girls' High School before graduating from Sogang University's history department. Her father, who graduated from a military and infantry school, participated in the Korean War and died of illness when she was in the sixth grade of elementary school (1964).

She debuted as a singer in 1971, when she was a freshman in college. Many of her songs were banned from broadcasting at the time because Yang Hee-eun's songs, including "Morning Dew", were sung in the democratization movement through various dictatorships in Korea.^[2] Kim Min-ki, the lyricist and composer of the representative song "Morning Dew", said that when he wrote the lyrics at the time, he did not include direct content such as his desire for democratization.^[3] However, the people of the time interpreted "Morning Dew" as suitable for democratization due to the situation of the times when the military dictatorship suppressed and the desire for democratization, and it became a symbolic song of the democratization movement in the 70s and 80s.

Career

When she was a teenager, Yang Hee-eun went to "Naughty Boy," a youth shelter run by the YMCA in Seoul, where she met Kim Min-ki, a figure who had a significant influence on Yang's music life. Without Kim Min-ki, the current Yang Hee-eun would not be here. When she was in college, she became poor due to the tilt of her joining forces. Because of this, she had to sing to make a living, and it was Song Chang-sik who asked her to be on stage. Song Chang-sik is said to have taken him to a beer bar in Myeong-dong where he sang and allowed him to work while taking 10 minutes off his performance time. Since then, he began to walk the path as a singer in earnest. Yang Hee-eun's first full-length album, "Yang Hee-eun's Collection of Fine Songs," released in September 1971, and "Morning Dew" and "Senoya" composed by Kim Min-ki became the representative songs that Yang Hee-eun comes to mind.
