Gueom Haenyeo, Kim Younjin


Listen Later

Kim Younjin is a young haenyeo who graduated from Hansupul Haenyeo School in 2021 and now dives in Gueom, a coastal village in Aewol, Jeju. Drawn to a life closely connected to the sea, she chose the path of a haenyeo and continues to train herself through the honest and humbling lessons the ocean provides. As one of six haenyeos in Gueom, she faces the rough waves daily, deepening her bond with the sea through each dive. She is an active member of HAECHO, a young haenyeo group dedicated to marine conservation and cultural outreach. Kim has represented haenyeo culture at international events, such as the 2024 Sharjah Heritage Days in the UAE, and shared her experiences at the Jeju Environment Talk Concert. She also serves as a translator for the monthly Haenyeo Bulteok Talk Show at the Haenyeo Museum. Today, she continues her journey with the sea, hoping to share the sustainable values of haenyeo culture with the world.
