Lee Yong-bok was born in 1952 during the Korean War.
Having suffered from congenital childhood glaucoma since birth, he lost his sight in an accident at the age of eight.
It was music that made him a friend who lost his sight.
He has excellent guitar playing skills and a unique voice.
In 1970, when I was in my second year of high school, I appeared with a comet wearing black sunglasses.
I became the first blind singer in Korea.
In his early debut, he received a lot of attention because he was disabled.
In 1971, he won the Rookie of the Year award at various music festivals, drawing attention as a singer.
In 1972 and 1973, he won the Teenage Award for Best Actor.
Also, Yang Hee-eun played a 12-string guitar when she debuted with "Morning Dew."
I also show my skills as a guitarist without regret.
When I think of Lee Yongbok, I naturally think of Stevie Wonder, an American singer with vision impairment.
If you lose your sight, other senses tend to develop much more.
For blind people, there are many difficulties in job selection.
He often worked as a masseuse using tactile development.
However, Lee Yong-bok, like Stevie Wonder, utilizes advanced hearing.
I am successfully leading my life as a singer.
Currently, he runs a live cafe with a pension at a beach in Taean, South Chungcheong Province.
In the case of overcoming disabilities and continuing the success story, whether innate or acquired;
We applaud generously.
It's not easy for normal people.
Overcoming difficulties with disabilities...
Because I know that more than double efforts are required.
