Yang Hee Eun is a South Korean singer-songwriter and broadcaster. She graduated from Gyeonggi Girls' High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree from the College of Liberal Arts at Sogang University. She made her debut in 1971 with the single "Morning Dew" and the song was taken as a symbol of the democratization movement of Korea in the 1970s and 1980s. She has a profound voice and a tone that grants her ability to express sorrowful emotions through her songs and connecting with the listeners' emotions. As a teenager, she attended the youth shelter "Green Frog" run by the Seoul YMCA and there met senior singer-songwriter Kim Min Ghi, a person that marked what she is today. Her father died when she was in 6th grade and her mother's dressmaker store burnt down years later, so she had to work to bring some money to the household and she decided to become a singer. In college, she received Song Chang Sik's help and began performing at the same beer house he was working at and she earned some money to cover the tuition. After she debuted, around 30 of her songs were banned by the government for trivial reasons. Disappointed and depressed, she left South Korea in 1981 and traveled through Europe and the U.S. for one year. Upon returning, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had her sister's help in surviving the illness but was unable to have children as a result. In 1987, South Korea became a democracy and the bans on her songs were lifted. She is also an accomplished broadcaster having hosted multiple radio shows with her show "Women Era" having aired on MBC FM since 1999. She now also helps junior musicians by co-producing their albums and is considered one of South Korea's legendary singers.
