  The recognition of South Korean soprano Sumi Jo with France's prestigious cultural honor, The Order of Arts and Letters, marks a significant milestone in her illustrious career. This esteemed award is a testament to her outstanding contributions to promoting French culture internationally through her music. Sumi Jo's dedication to nurturing young talent has been evident in her recent initiative to launch an international vocal competition at Château de la Ferte-Imbault in France's Loire Valley, where she crowned Korean tenor Lee Ki-up as the winner of her first edition of the Sumi Jo International Singing Competition. The success of this event demonstrates her commitment to providing a platform for talented young vocalists from around the world. The Order of Arts and Letters is one of France's most respected cultural honors, awarded to individuals who have made significant contributions to promoting French culture abroad.
