Interview with Haenyeo (Kim - Ok - Ja, 67)
We interviewed a haenyeo that came to our school. She gave us a lecture about haenyeo's life and their work. She was haenyeo since she was 13, and now it's about 50 years since she worked as haenyeo.
Interview Questions
1. What does haenyeo usually do?
- We always go to ocean and gather seafood to sell.
2. When is haenyeo's work time?
- We usually start at 7, and we work until 1 to 2 p.m, and if it's late, we work until 3 p.m. sometimes.
3. What is the difference between past haenyeo and present haenyeo?
- The main difference is the clothes. When I first started working as a haenyeo, we only wore clothes made with fabric, so we only could work for about 1 hour and come out for rest, but now, we have rubber clothes that keeps us warm, so now we can work for a much longer time.
