Park Inhee

Park In Hui, born March 15, 1945 in Seoul and also known as Park In Hee, is a Korean folk singer and songwriter who gained fame in the 1970s. She has a rich discography, including several albums and well-loved songs such as "The Way Spring is Coming Through (1974)," "Bonfire (1973)," and "A Horse and A Lady (1983)." After graduating from Sookmyung Women's University with a degree in French Language and Literature, she debuted in 1970 as part of a mixed duet group called Toi Et Moi. In 1972, she launched a solo career, releasing six albums up to 1976, along with recordings of poetry recitations. Her music is emotionally rich, poetic, feminine, and elegant, earning praise from fans who appreciated her blend of literary sensibility and classical music influences, even within popular songs. Her voice was pure and clear, with restrained emotion when singing, yet her music was filled with tender sensitivity and poetic romance. Her lyrics, simple yet profound, often seemed like whispers about life and love. Apart from her music, she was a prolific writer, publishing poetry collections as well as essays. She was also known as a talented literary figure and radio DJ on late-night programs. After retiring from singing, she moved to the U.S., working as a director at a Korean broadcasting station, and has kept a low profile for nearly 35 years until 2016 when she returned to South Korea. Surprised to find that many fans still remembered her, Park hesitated but eventually resumed writing songs and poetry, and held concerts.
