Biography[edit]

Yoon was born in South Korea in 1933.[1] She graduated from the Department of Korean Literature of the Kyung Hee University with a degree in Western Philosophy before subsequently matriculation to each of the Graduate School of Philosophy at Dongguk University and the Graduate School of Philosophy at Sangji University.[2] Yoon worked as a voice actor at the Army Broadcasting Room in the Jeong Hoon Department of the Ministry of National Defense in August 1954. Four months later, she passed the first broadcast drama research recruitment examination to become a voice actor for Korean Broadcasting System,[3][4] alongside Ko Eun-jung and Oh Seung-ryong.[5]

In 1955, Yoon made her debut as a voice actress for the Seoul Central Broadcasting Station and held the position for the following thirteen years.[2] During the period when television was not a popular format medium,[2] she appeared in several works and took part in performances playing lively women aged between their teenage years and their twenties.[1] Such works for Yoon included the first ever Korean radio melodrama soap opera Cheongsil Hongsi in 1956.[3][4][5] She won the Broadcast Culture Award in 1967,[2] and stepped down from voice acting in the same year.[3][4][5]

In 1970, she relocated to Japan to study Western Philosophy,[4][5] after coming across the complete collections of works from the French novelist and pacifist Romain Rolland while in Myeong-dong and assistance from the Tokyo Publishing House.[2] Yoon later returned to South Korea, settling in Wonju, Gangwon Province in 1993,[2] and establishing a career in writing, publishing essays and novels.[4] From 1996, she authored 15 short stories and novels.[2] She died on the morning of 16 May 2020.[3][4][5]
