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.
In 1981, she left Korea and returned from traveling to the U.S. and Europe for about a year, but the following year, 1982, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and was at a critical juncture in her life. She had two cancer surgeries and had many twists and turns in her life, such as fighting the disease . Yang Hee-kyung, her younger sister, looked after her in person, and recalled that she really thought her sister was going to die when she barely groaned due to her illness. Although she was unable to have children because of this, she decided to live a positive life by raising her husband and dogs as children.[4] She is still famous for her voice. Her voice is so powerful and clear that you can recognize it as Yang Hee-eun just by listening to it. However, her younger sister has a very similar voice, so she is easy to fall for. Of course, Yang Hee-kyung is more gentle, but it is difficult to distinguish between relatives and acquaintances if she decides to follow her. Even their mother has the same voice, so her family and her acquaintances are said to be deceived a lot. Starting with Yoon Jong-shin's work on "Backpack Travel" in 2014, he is working on a producing album with junior musicians called "Unexpected Meeting". Lee Jeok, Lee Sang-soon, and Sung Si-kyung have been working on nine projects so far and are receiving favorable reviews for successfully attempting new changes.[5]
Career[edit]
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.[6] 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.[7] In the meantime, Ha Deok-gyu's "Hangyae-ryeong" released in 1985 was evaluated as an outstanding song. At the time of the release, the music label gave up promoting it because it was too heavy, but it was said to have received great praise when it was released again in 1990. "Hangyae-ryeong" the last installment of the novel "People in Wonmi-dong," took the title from this song.
After democratization in 1987, Yang's banned songs were all lifted and reevaluated as outstanding musicians. She had a 30th anniversary album and concert in 2002, and performed the musical "Where Have You Come" until mid-August 2011, reflecting on her life to mark her 40th anniversary in 2011.[8]
The first album "Yang Hee-eun's Fine Song Collection" and the 20th anniversary album "Yang Hee-eun 1991" were ranked 85th and 80th, respectively, and were selected as one of the top 100 Korean pop songs.
She is legendary not only as a singer but also as a radio DJ. She also has ample broadcasting experience as a DJ of pop music programs at CBS and TBC since she was young. Back in 1992, she came back to CBS to host "Yang Hee-eun's Information Age," SBS to host "I'm Yang Hee-eun, Two Poems' Friend" until 1998, and Son Sook is currently hosting the MBC Standard FM Women's Age from 1999 to 2023. Ironically, however, despite her career, MBC Radio did not recognize her career as another broadcaster, and the Golden Mouse Award was given to her by the MBC Radio Hall of Fame, Golden Mouse, in 2019.

Although it is her 30th anniversary album, it is a memorial album for the most memorable listener, Chu Hee-sook, hosted by Yang Hee-eun on the Women's Generation Radio. It seems that Chu Hee-sook, who was unable to properly cope with terminal cancer at the time, felt a great deal of emotion when she saw the letter sent over four days. When she tried to produce her 30th anniversary album as a memorial album, there were voices of concern around her, but it was produced with Yang Hee-eun's strong argument.[16]
