Who is Soon-Yi Previn?
Soon-Yi was found in Seoul, South Korea, on February 12, 1976, as an abandoned child. She was then was placed temporarily in a local institution for abandoned children and after a search to locate her family failed, she was transferred to St. Paul s Orphanage.
For the first three years her adoptive mother Mia Farrow cared for her, Soon-Yi referred to her as “Good Mama,” as opposed to her natural mother, “Naughty Mama,” reported Vanity Fair. Naughty Mama was reportedly a prostitute, who would force Soon-Yi to kneel in a doorway for punishment and would slam the door against the little girl’s head. One day she left the child on a street in Seoul and said she would be back in five minutes, before disappearing forever. When the orphanage found Soon-Yi, she spoke no known language, just gibberish.
