Yun Sim-Deok (also written as Youn or Yoon and Sim-dok, Yun Sim-tok or Shimdok) (1897-1926) was the first woman soprano to achieve fame throughout Korea. Born in Pyongyang in 1897, she studied at the Pyongyang Girls' Middle and High Schools, and graduated from Kyongsong Women's Teaching College in Seoul in 1914. After graduation she became a primary school teacher in Wonju. She left for Japan where she studied music at Tokyo Music School. It was there that she met and fell in love with an English literature and drama student, Kim Woo-Jin. However, Kim was married and had a wife and children at his home in the city of Mokpo. They set off back for Korea on a passenger ship but jumped from the ship into the ocean and were drowned. Her most famous recording, recorded in Osaka by the Japanese Nitto recording company, and accompanied by her sister on the piano, is "Saui ch'anmi/In Praise of Death" which is set to the tune of "The Waves of the Danube" by Ion Ivanovici. This was released in Korea in 1926 and is often regarded as the first "popular" Korean song.
