Which Korean Is Singing In Carnegie Hall Again?
Kim In-Soon, otherwise known as Insooni, has had her fair share of hard times. As the child of a Korean and African-American, and raised by her mother single-handedly, it wasn't easy to overcome prejudice and discrimination.
Still, the battle against other kinds of prejudice remains. Apparently she can't sing in the top-end cultural hall of Seoul because her brand of fusion music isn't high-brow enough. Yet she's performed in Carnegie Hall and has been invited to do so again.
One can only hope the elitism that holds some Koreans back from being able to contribute to their country and global culture will be a thing of the past soon.
