Shin Eun-mi
Shin Eun-mi is a Korean-American classical singer and writer[1] who travelled to North Korea several times over 2011 to 2012.[2] She wrote a book on her experiences travelling to North Korea, which South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism named a "recommended book" in 2013.[3] She gave a series of lectures in South Korea on the topic of her travels to North Korea.[4] Her lectures, originally given a positive reception, later became locations of demonstrations by far-right conservatives.[3] Shin Eun-mi was deported from South Korea on 10 January 2015.
Shin Eun-mi's book is titled A Korean American Housewife Goes to North Korea. The book is a compilation of her travel diaries while traveling North Korea.[5]
A documentary "To Kill Alice" was made about Shin Eun-mi's experience of being deported from South Korea.[6][7][a] The film was made by director Kim Sang-kyu.
