Here, you'll hear her story in her own words — how she became a haenyeo, what life beneath the sea is really like, the challenges she has faced, and how Jeju's ocean has changed over the years. This is not a performance or a scripted show. It is a genuine conversation with a woman who has lived the life of a haenyeo.
