A 14-year-old virtuoso, who has been visually impaired since birth, will touch your hearts with her beautiful self-composed music!
Back on November 18, KBS's 'News 9' introduced 14-year-old Yoo Ji Min through a corner called 'Viewing the scenery with your heart.'
Ji Min, who lost her vision due to retinal abnormalities, started playing piano by ear ever since she was three years old. At the mere age of ten, she enrolled into Seoul Arts Center's Music Academy for formal training. Ji Min would improvise, and her instructor would record her and then transcribe the notes onto music sheets. In this manner, Ji Min has been able to overcome her disability and composed hundreds of songs.
On the segment, Ji Min played self-composed songs titled "Sunshine" and "Flight of the Birds," moving the audience with her emotional performance.
One audience member had stated, "From the rich way she expresses herself [through music], you would never guess that she can't see."
In the interview with 'News 9,' Ji Min is said to have relayed her hope to "make people happy by making lots of beautiful music."
What an incredibly talented and humble kid! Let's hope that she will be fulfill her hopes and keep blessing us with beautiful music.
