Song has worked at the Kwangju Yogwang Girls Middle School as both a teacher and an educational researcher.
The Korea Literature Translation Institute sums Song's poetry up:
Song's work centers on the lives of common people, although Song does not see live as a confrontation between have and have-nots, and Song's work follows the lines of classical Korean lyricism. Being born, raised, and still living in Jeollnam-do, Song's poetry is strongly infused with traces of regional culture, and is extremely tradition oriented.
