Biography
After working as a journalist for 23 years, Myung-sook Suh came up with an ‘insane dream’ that all other people would stop her. However, she finally became the woman who created trails. She bravely quit her career in journalism at 50 years old and went to Camino de Santiago alone. On the trail of Santiago, she suddenly thought of her hometown, Jeju. She then decided to create a more beautiful and peaceful trail than the Camino de Santiago and came back to Korea. After that, she founded the Jeju Olle Foundation and started to create hiking trails. In fall 2012, four years later, she completed the 425km of the Jeju Olle Trail that goes around Jeju. President Suh wants all people who have experienced the Jeju Olle Trail to become one with this trail and enjoy the healing it offers by letting go of all their deep wounds and conflicts on the trail.
