Kang Seok-yeon (Korean: 강석연; Hanja: 姜石燕; 1914 – 2001) was a pioneering Korean singer and actress who became one of the most iconic figures of the Japanese colonial period. Often cited as the quintessential "Modern Girl" of the 1920s and 1930s, she was a prolific recording artist for major labels such as Columbia and Victor Records and held the record for the most frequent radio appearances by a female singer in Gyeongseong Broadcasting Station. She was known as the "Lindbergh of the East" in the 1930s. Her 1931 debut, "Wandering Song," became a foundational track for the early Korean pop and trot genres.
