Woman of Influence
2025-08-21 18:30 - 22:00 | PA
Pearl S. Buck International is thrilled to announce that Kim In-soon, known professionally as Insooni, has been selected as the 2025 Woman of Influence Award honoree.
Insooni is an award-winning R&B and Gospel singer as well as a humanitarian and an advocate for young people of mixed race and multicultural backgrounds. Born to a South Korean mother and African-American father following the Korean War, she was raised by her mother, who received assistance from Pearl S. Buck International’s child sponsorship program.
In addition to her longstanding first-hand connection to the work and mission of Pearl S. Buck International, Insooni also embodies the humanitarian, cross-cultural, and advocacy legacy of Pearl S. Buck. She overcame deep societal racial discrimination to become a success in the music industry and a household name in her home country and in 2023, she was appointed by Prime Minister Han Duck-soo to the Multicultural Youth Families Support Council as an advocate for multicultural and mixed-race middle and high school students.
Insooni also currently serves as a board member for Pearl S. Buck Foundation Korea, an affiliate of Pearl S. Buck International.
We are thrilled that Insooni will be able to attend the Woman of Influence Dinner and Award Ceremony, and will perform and accept her award in-person.
