SEOUL, South Korea (CNN) -- An American orchestra performed a historic concert Tuesday in the communist state of North Korea -- one of the most secretive societies in the world.

A group of 105 musicians made the journey to Pyongyang, but for one of them this trip was not just about music. It was about family history.

Michelle Kim, 35, is a violinist with the New York Philharmonic, which performed a nearly two-hour concert in Pyongyang.

Yes! I made it back here two (or maybe three?) days in a row!

At 20, I read about the Atkins diet and researched on its pros and cons. It seemed like an ideal...
