Episode Synopsis
A third-generation haenyeo raised in a family of haenyeo. She entered the fishing village as a rookie haenyeo after her mother had been the youngest haenyeo for 50 years, and she has been gathering marine products for three years. She is dedicated to documenting everything about haenyeo and telling stories of the sea. Affiliated with the Haenyeo Cultural Research Institute, she engages in various activities related to haenyeo. Additionally, she has participated in photographing coral reefs on Beomseom and Munseom, a long-standing project by the Green Korea. In March 2024, she plans to visit Dokdo to find records of haenyeo who migrated from Jeju. Dreaming of doing water work in Dokdo, she, along with her mother, who was also a migrated haenyeo, is scheduled to do water work in the sea around Dokdo. In her usual routine, she conducts lectures on haenyeo culture in schools throughout Jeju. She plans to expand this work and start a Haenyeo Culture Academy in the future.
