Alice Chung is a mezzo-soprano and co-founder of Wear Yellow Proudly, an initiative started in 2020 in response to increasing xenophobia and violence against Asians during the COVID-19 pandemic. WYP spreads awareness about Asian culture through art, music, and education. Alice speaks about her Korean-American upbringing, how she started singing, and why she chose not to sing when the pandemic first hit.

First verse of "The Swing":
The new light blue ramie skirt
The gold-pressed hair ribbon
As I swing up to the sky,
Flutter in the cloud.
The swallow also, surprised,
Stopped flying mid-air and watched.
