American woman joins Women of the Sea in Korea

The article focused on the experience of Kylie Ginter, an American who became the first foreign woman to obtain a "Haenyeo" license in South Korea. She works as a female diver among the Haenyeo in Yongrak-ri Village on Jeju Island. Ginter started diving in January 2024 with the aim of preserving this historical tradition, a practice that requires special skills and a certain age. Despite her efforts, she faces significant challenges from the community, such as the decline in seaweed stocks and the deterioration of livelihoods due to climate change. Ginter emphasizes that the Haenyeo community is close-knit and includes women who protect one another while working. She aspires to encourage more foreigners to join in preserving this cultural heritage.
