Singer-songwriter Yoon Young-ro is a musician who has continued his musical journey for many years under the name “Garam and Moe.”

The name “Garam and Moe” means river and mountain, and reflects his intention to place stories of nature and everyday life into his songs.

After making his debut in 1979, he stepped away from music for a time to live an ordinary life, then returned to the stage and has continued performing ever since. In recent years,

while staying rooted in folk music, he has also experimented with a variety of sounds to create new music. Even now, he remains an artist who continues to turn the stories of his own life into songs.

To celebrate Children’s Day, three children, Ian Mo, Lamu Nim, and Min Jae Shim, visited the studio. Their clear voices and bright energy brought a lively spirit to the program. Content creator Mark also joined them that day, adding to the fun of the moment. Together, they enjoyed solving quizzes about K POP, Jeju Island, and the Jeju language, filling the studio with laughter.

She began her career in travel in 2002, guiding honeymoon couples in Boracay, Philippines, and from that moment realized that meeting people and sharing stories was the path meant for her. After settling in Jeju, she has continued to run a guesthouse and travel company for international visitors, introducing the island’s culture and everyday life to those who come to explore it. Rather than simply showing tourist sites, she believes her role is to design a day that matches each traveler’s purpose and expectations. She feels the greatest reward when she sees visitors’ expressions change by the end of the tour, and when they tell her she was the most memorable guide they have ever met. In the years ahead, she hopes to offer more people the chance to experience Jeju as it truly is, not just the polished version of the island.

After studying art and East Asian culture in Lithuania, she came to Korea and has now made Jeju her home for the past 12 years. Having been interested in mythology since childhood, she has expanded her artistic world by illustrating the island’s myths and the stories of its people. Recently, she launched a small publishing house called “Noguri Books,” where she continues to create stories and picture books set in Jeju. After taking a break from creative work while raising her child, she is now focusing on making books that children in her family and local community can enjoy together. In this episode, we listen to the life and work of an illustrator who is bringing Jeju mythology into stories for today.

Born in Seoul, she has moved through New York and Jeju, choosing the direction of her life along the way. She has created film festivals, exhibitions, and humanities art spaces, consistently planning places where people can meet, and says she learned that relationships and stories are her greatest assets. These days, she is focusing on cultural education that connects generations and regions through study and teaching, hoping to create spaces where more people can learn and share together. She believes that wherever one lives, what matters most are people and stories, and wants to share the idea that each day of being alive is itself a form of art. In this episode, we listen to the journey of a planner who has shaped her own path across different cities.

Based in Jeju, she performs on stage interpreting blues and standard jazz in her own voice. With a solid vocal foundation and a wide expressive range, she moves freely from delicate tones to powerful energy in her singing. She views jazz as a conversation created together by musicians and the audience, shaping the mood and connection of each day into music on stage. Recently, she has been focusing on jazz ensemble work and vocal study, continuing to explore new musical attempts rooted in jazz. Moving between Jeju and Seoul, she balances performance and creative work while steadily refining her own musical identity.

Guitarist and vocalist Yoo Hyun Sang and keyboardist Lee Yoo Jeong perform together as a music duo based in Jeju. The two first met as band members in 2023,

where they developed their musical chemistry, and later began performing under the name KITA & OLGEN after collaborating on original songs.

Centered on acoustic guitar and keyboard, their music blends folk-inspired sounds with a range of tones, expressing thoughts and emotions discovered in everyday life with sincerity

and restraint. Their songwriting is shaped by a habit of closely observing ordinary days and drawing stories from within those moments. Rooted in Jeju,

they continue to reflect the people and experiences of the island in their music while expanding their activities through live performances and recording projects.

She began her musical journey by learning the cello from her mother, a cellist, and was deeply drawn to the process of making music after watching Yo-Yo Ma’s Inspired by Bach project at the age of eleven. After moving to Vienna for her studies, she set personal goals to grow from a performer into a musician, and ultimately into a more thoughtful human being, choosing conducting as a way to understand music beyond the level of individual performance. While a performer focuses on their own part, she sees the conductor as someone who shapes the overall flow of the orchestra and defines where the music is heading. Spending seventeen years in Austria led her to understand music as something inseparable from everyday life, a perspective that continues to influence her interpretations and working approach. She places greater importance on communication than on interpretation, focusing on sharing the direction and purpose of the music with the musicians. Her debut at the Golden Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna, conducting Ravel’s La Valse, marked a turning point when she realized she could tell her own story through music. She is currently working with the Jeju Philharmonic Orchestra to build a distinctive sound and a strong sense of ensemble.
