Rooted in blues, folk, and rock, she has built a body of work that sings quietly but firmly about the textures of everyday life. Since her debut in 2005, she has spent two decades making music at her own pace, choosing her own language rather than following trends. Her low, resonant voice and restrained yet steady lyrics give her songs a lasting presence. In 2025, she released a special album marking the 20th anniversary of her debut. The album reflects both a careful look back on the road she has traveled and a clear intention to continue living and singing through music. Years of moving between the stage and daily life have shaped Kang Huh Dalrim into an artist of deeper focus and quiet strength.

Lael began making music after a self-written song video, shared during high school, unexpectedly drew attention. After becoming an adult, he set up his own workspace and taught himself how to write, record, and shape his sound independently. His music centers on melody and explores emotions tied to love, memory, and waiting. Both lyrics and melodies often begin with small moments from everyday life, developed through a largely solo process while actively incorporating feedback from others. Starting with his debut track “4AM,” and followed by the Christmas release “Dream of You,” he has translated personal stories into music. Looking ahead, he plans to expand his musical world through a long-term project that connects multiple EPs into a single narrative.

She is a haenyeo diving in Yeongrak ri, Daejeong eup, Jeju, and also works as an interpreter and translator. After graduating from haenyeo school in 2024, she knocked on the doors of several villages and is now part of the Yeongrak ri haenyeo community. As she learned to dive as a form of work, going farther and deeper beyond her fear and hesitation toward the sea, her decision to live as a haenyeo became clear. She says the work of a haenyeo is deeply personal, shaped by each diver’s breath and limits, yet always grounded in collective safety and responsibility, reflected in the rule that no one dives alone. Since becoming a haenyeo, she has worked as an interpreter on haenyeo related projects in collaboration with the Jeju Provincial Government’s Haenyeo Culture Division, and also served as an interpreter at the GIAHS certification ceremony held in Rome. She is now preparing an English language haenyeo podcast titled Haenyeo Hangout, exploring new ways to carry haenyeo stories farther into the world.
