So I decided to attend thinking there was something I could do in return for Jeju.” The singer began her life in Jeju Island after getting married to Lee Sang Soon and has shown off her peaceful life through the popular JTBC show “Hyori’s Homestay.” On a recent episode, she gained attention for explaining the history behind the uprising.

The American military violently suppressed the armed revolt, and tens of thousands of people were killed.
