Known as the "Soseong-ri star," Jeong Jinseok originally studied fine art. After the Sewol ferry disaster, he became engaged with social issues and began standing with residents against violence and humiliation during the THAAD deployment in Soseong-ri. He moved his address to Soseong-ri and has continued peace activism for nearly eight years, gaining attention for a unique musical style that combines Gyeongsang dialect with blues.
