Shin Eun-mi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In this Korean name, the family name is Shin.

Amy Chung,[1] better known by her Korean name Shin Eun-mi (Korean: 신은미), is a Korean-American classical singer and writer[2] who travelled to North Korea several times over 2011 to 2012.[3] 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.[4] She gave a series of lectures in South Korea on the topic of her travels to North Korea.[5] Her lectures, originally given a positive reception, later became locations of demonstrations by far-right conservatives.[4] 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.[6]

A documentary "To Kill Alice" was made about Shin Eun-mi's experience of being deported from South Korea.[7][8][a] The film was made by director Kim Sang-kyu.
