“part of me wanted to remain perfectly unknown to you because I knew I’d never be able to convey just how much you meant to me.” – Michelle

 

Both women were born in South Korea and recount a similar upbringing and shared chemistry. Together they continue to inspire more women and artists with their beautifully-crafted work and performances.

Meeting your heroes can be a daunting altercation, but Michelle’s letter truly touched the hearts of the fans.
