S. Korean hip-hop group "Suni and the Seven Princesses" offers hope to the elderly

And on the subject of successful stories, a group of granny rappers in a remote Korean county is garnering quite a bit of attention for proving it's never too late to learn.

Our Park Kun-woo met up with them.

A community center in a small rural village of around 100 residents.

This is where "Suni and the Seven Princesses," a hip-hop group of women with an average age of 85, was formed two years ago.

Overhearing joyful voices, I peeked inside.

Their life stories, woven into their lyrics, have brought fresh energy, thanks to their regular Korean classes.

"When I was young, I had to walk several kilometers to school because of the war, so, I couldn't study. But, learning Korean has opened my eyes."

They used fun methods like singing traditional Korean songs to improve.

After class, they quickly transformed, donning hip-hop gear and rapping like pros -a striking contrast to their Korean lessons.

"The granny rappers show us that it's never too late to challenge yourself and speak your truth through your honest lyrics. Inspired by them, I decided to try rapping today. Together with the grannies, we send a message to our viewers."

This group has offered hope and inspiration in South Korea which turned into a 'super-aged' society last year, with over 20 percent of the population aged 65 or older.

Their success has even led to the creation of other elderly hip-hop groups.

And they're boosting the local economy, with merchandise featuring their faces, symbolizing the region.

Their influence stretches beyond the local community, performing at venues nationwide, and even spreading globally.

A documentary about them, directed by a Polish filmmaker, is set to be released later this year.

The filmmaker shared her inspiration behind the project.

"This project is to show to the other people that we are limitless that we can change our lives no matter in which age we are currently in. We shouldn't have any excuses for anything she started the rapping band in that age so that's really impressive."

As the filmmaker hopes, Suni and the Seven Princesses will continue spreading their powerful message.

"It's incredible we've come this far. If we can do it at this age, young people can too."

Emphasizing that she's already very happy, she said her only wish is for her and the members to stay healthy.
