Life and career
A Brazilian of Korean descent, she was one of the few females working in the Brazilian comics industry. She was part of a new wave of Disney artists emerging in the early 1980s, alongside Ernesto Y. Miyaura, Hélio Senatore, Paulo Renato da Costa Noely and the inkers Luiz Carlos F. Mirando and Luiz Carlos Natalino Ribeiro. Active between 1982 and 1988, most Seung Joo Kang's stories featured 'Jose Carioca' and his girlfriend Rosinha. This is no surprise, since the vagabond parrot from Rio from the feature films 'Saludos Amigos' (1942) and 'The Three Caballeros' (1944) is the most popular Disney character in Brazil.
