Introduced to traditional geomungo zither and southern-style sorikkun singing at age nine in Namwon, North Jeolla Province, and polished under legendary vocalist Kim So-hee, Ahn Sook-sun mastered the hoarse, granite-textured seongeum timbre cultivated beside mountain waterfalls. 1

Designated Holder of Important Intangible Cultural Property No. 23 (Gayageum Sanjo and Byeongchang) and subsequently No. 5 (Pansori Chunhyangga), she directed the National Changgeuk Company of Korea and performed complete five-hour wanchang cycles internationally. 1
