\t\t\t\t\"The<\/p>\n

Koreans love their music. From Pansori, a traditional Korean, operatic-style performance with a singer and drummer, to K-pop, the phenomenon that\u2019s sweeping the world with its all-boy and girl bands, to the ever-popular karaoke, or \u201cnoraebang,\u201d establishments where friends, usually after a night of drinking, sing in small rooms equipped with a sound system, video screen, and thousands of song selections, Koreans have always enjoyed sharing a tune.<\/p>\n

Just a few weeks ago, the all-male group BTS performed on Dick Clark\u2019s “Rockin New Year\u2019s Eve\u201d show. They\u2019re popular in the US, apparently, and became the first K-pop band to perform at the American Music Awards\u00a0and\u00a0<\/em>win a Billboard Music Award. Did I mention they\u2019re also the first Korean band to have over 10 million Twitter followers?<\/p>\n

K-pop mania also exists north of the DMZ, and in case you hadn\u2019t heard, Hyon Song-wol, a\u00a0North Korean K-pop star, was in Seoul this week inspecting venues for her band’s upcoming Olympic performances. As the leader of Kim Jong-un\u2019s hand-picked, all-girl band, Moranbang, Hyon was treated as a celebrity and made headlines throughout Korea. During her visit she was mobbed by thousands of people trying to get her picture or watch her eat breakfast, and she was constantly surrounded by South Korean security forces. Many Koreans, however, weren\u2019t as impressed and protested her visit, believing it only played into Kim Jong-un\u2019s “charm offensive.” She\u2019s gone now, but her trip’s repercussions, positive and negative, are still being felt.<\/p>\n

Becoming the Kim Sisters<\/strong><\/h2>\n

All of this reminds me of the incredible power of music and the documentary,\u00a0\u201cTry to Remember,\u201d a film directed by Kim Dae-hyun. The movie is a wonderful tribute to Korea\u2019s first internationally acclaimed girl band, the Kim Sisters.<\/p>\n

Composed of two sisters, Sook-ja (Sue) and Ai-ja Kim, and their cousin Min-ja (Mia), the trio formed in 1954. Only 12 years old when they started singing for American GI\u2019s stationed in Busan, their performances became an instant hit. But times were hard, and the three girls and their family struggled to survive in war-torn and impoverished South Korea, sometimes missing meals, going to bed hungry, and wondering if they\u2019d ever have \u201cnormal\u201d lives.<\/p>\n

Sook-ja and Ai-ja\u2019s mother, Lee Nan-young, a well-known musician from the 1930\u2019s (her song, “Tears of Mokpo,”<\/a> was a hit in 1935 and became a pre-war classic) pushed the young girls to excel and master their craft. Their hard work and perseverance eventually paid off. By 1958 the Kim Sisters were one of the top groups in South Korea, and the following year an American music producer offered them a recording contract. Their dreams of stardom were suddenly becoming a reality.<\/p>\n

From South Korea to Vegas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

They left Korea that year and were soon performing nightly gigs in the entertainment capital of the world: Las Vegas. During their nearly decade-long run in the United States, they were on The Dean Martin Show<\/em>\u00a0and appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show<\/em> over twenty times. They also met Frank Sinatra and Dinah Shore and were featured in Life Magazine<\/em>. They performed in cities across America, from Los Angeles to Chicago and New York to Honolulu. They became hugely popular in the States, and in addition to their exceptional musical talent – between the three of them they played nearly 20 instruments – they became goodwill ambassadors of South Korea.<\/p>\n

Today, their music is all but forgotten. But their legacy lives on. They were the pioneers of Korean music on the American continent and paved the way for Korean musicians who followed. Mia and Sue, now in their late seventies, went separate ways in the late 1970\u2019s but both still enjoy performing. Sadly, Ai-ja died of cancer in 1987.<\/p>\n

The documentary, \u201cTry to Remember,\u201d is a moving testament to the ground-breaking music of three talented and dedicated women, and I\u2019m grateful that Kim Dae-hyun preserved their story and invited us to attend the film premier in Seoul last year. The documentary reminds us of how important it is to keep music, past and present, alive. It\u2019s part of what makes us human.<\/p>\n
