Kim Sook-hee, an English teacher at Haenam Technical High School who is a 13-time national poetry recitation competition champion and the top multi-award winner in the national poetry recitation competition, recited a congratulatory poem in traditional poetry on her first stage.

Korea’s ‘Master Artisans and Master Dancers Exhibition’ is a high-level traditional arts stage that has continued for 34 years since its first performance at the National Gugak Center in November 1990 to carry on the legacy of Korean dance and music.

Kim Sook-hee, the recitation artist, is currently in her final year at Kyung Hee University Graduate School this summer, pursuing two master’s degrees and aiming to obtain two doctorates in both literature and cultural arts, continuing her academic journey.

Recitation artist Kim said, “I am spreading poetry recitation from various perspectives, based on the academization, performance, and globalization of poetry recitation, and I am working as a teacher with minimal and limited activities.”

Meanwhile, Kim Sook-hee has been invited by the United States and plans to perform in English poetry in September.
