She released her first solo album, Fate, in 1980.
An occasional Christian music artist as well as an R&B singer, she recorded Korean-language versions of “How Great Thou Art” and “Amazing Grace.”
A native of South Korea’s Gyeonggi Province, she was born of South Korean maternal heritage and African-American paternal descent. Her daughter, Saein, was born in the early 1990s.
She and Bobby Kim are both well known South Korean R&B singers.
Insooni was born to a South Korean mother and an Black American father in April 1957 in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province and her upbringing was fraught with difficulties from discrimination against minorities, which was severe during this time in South Korea. Insooni has commented that “while attending school I felt like I was dirty compared to my classmates.” In-Soon graduated from Cheongsan Middle School of Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province and having had enough of the difficulties didn’t continue her education through high school. She has said that overcoming the difficulties came by singing.
Kim In-soon (Korean: 김인순 ; born April 5, 1957), better known by her stage name, Insooni (Korean: 인순이 ), is a South Korean singer who made her debut in 1978 as a member of Hee Sisters (Korean: 희자매 ). Since then, she has recorded a total of 19 albums, 14 of them full-length albums. She is acclaimed as South Korea’s R&B diva, having garnered a wide range of fans over her 41+ year career. She is one of the few South Korean singers to have performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City and has earned several top prizes from South Korean music awards. She is distinguished by her rich, throaty voice with wide vocal range on stage. She was born to a South Korean mother and an African American father, who served in the U.S. military in South Korea and was brought up by her mother alone, with the assistance of Pearl S. Buck International’s child sponsorship program.
In 1978, Insooni made her debut with the girl group “Hee sisters” but South Korean public opinion doubted that a girl group could be successful in South Korea. The Hee sister’s time allowed In-Soon to show off her skills such as eloquent dance but the interest she attracted was merely that of outward appearance. In 1980, Fate (인연), Insooni’s solo release debuted. 1983, with the age of disco setting in, If it’s night, every night (밤이면 밤마다), saw her release a hit that rose and remained at number 7 on KBS charts through 1984, she rose immensely in popularity.
