WoongSan(金恩英)是一位屢獲殊榮的韓國音樂家,演員和電視節目主持人。18歲時曾入山修行,以法號Woong San(雄山)為藝名的韓國爵士歌姬,在寺院修行的日子裡,Woong San發現歌唱的力量,下山後隨即成為一名搖滾歌手,並在一次偶然的機會中聽到爵士紅伶Billy Holiday 的音樂,讓她感動不已,進而由搖滾樂歌手轉型為爵士歌手,成為日韓樂迷瘋狂喜愛的爵士歌姬。她是第一位在紐約市歷史悠久的Blue Note爵士俱樂部演出的韓國音樂家,並與許多其他著名的爵士音樂家合作過。“I'm Alright”是WoongSan的第九張專輯,同時在韓國和日本發行。她在演繹中,即使遵循流暢的爵士樂的例子,也有一種時髦和藍調的聲音的感覺,特別是,它是一張通過與國內外表演者的合作專輯,在新環境中完美地詮釋着標準的爵士樂曲。
