(2) Born on February 15, 1978 in Seoul, South Korea, pianist Yiruma (real name: I Ru-ma) has released a string of successful albums in the 2000s and managed to land a number one hit with his composition "River Flows in You." Additionally, he was the first Korean artist to be invited to perform at the 2002 MIDEM in Cannes, France. Yiruma began playing the piano at the age of five and then moved to London in 1988 to study at the Purcell School of Music, where he graduated in July 1997. In June 2000, he completed a composition major at King's College London, and from 2001 onward he released a number of albums that can be categorized somewhere between the "contemporary classical" and "new age" genres. His 2001 album First Love contained the composition "River Flows in You," which subsequently became a number one hit in several countries, especially when it was briefly considered to be included on the soundtrack of the movie Twilight. Even though the producers ultimately did not use the piece, a series of YouTube videos appeared online where Yiruma's cut was put into the corresponding scene, boosting the track's popularity and resulting in it being remixed by German DJ Alex Christensen in 2010. Yiruma also composed the scores for the movie Oasis (directed by Lee Chang-dong) and the stop-motion animated film Doggy Poo (directed by Kwon Oh-sung). ~ Christian Genzel, Rovi

오늘 따라 왜 이리 오빠가 보고싶은지 모르겠어. 왜 갑자기 마음이 답답하고 안타까운지 모르겠어. 내 마음이 이상하게 싱숭생숭해. 요즘 유튜브 알고리즘이 또 이상하게 떠서 그런가봐.
'이런 가족과 멀어져라' 라는 영상이나 '인간관계 애쓰지마라' 라거나, '잘못 결혼해서 인생 망친 여자 셀럽 연예인들' 영상이 뜬다거나....꼭 오빠가 나쁜사람이니 나한테 피하라는 식으로 들려.
그 사람들은 내가 가족이나 주변인들, 그리고 오빠와 멀어져서 고립되고 혼자가 되길 바라는것 같아. 내가 예민해져서 이런 생각이 드나 싶기도한데...지금까지 겪은 일 생각하면 그런 짓 하고도 남을 사람들 같아서.
그치만 내게 중요한건 신뢰감 1도 없는 그 사람들이 아니라 당신이야. 오빠가 어떤 사람인지는 내가 알고, 또 보지 못한 몇년 동안 어떻게 변했는지는 내가 직접 얘기하고 만나보고 판단할 일이야.
그 전까진 어떤 이간질도 당신에 대한 내 믿음과 신뢰를 깨진 못해.
내가 아는 오빠는 사리분별 확실한 사람인데, 우리 사이를 두고 이런 치졸한 이간질이라니....정말 갈수록 실망이다 그 사람들.
난 앞으로 더욱 더 가족들과 우애있게 지낼거고, 지인들과도 꾸준히 연락할거고, 물론 오빠는 더더욱 사랑할거야^^♡
오빠가 내 울타리가 되어주는 것처럼, 미약하고 힘없을 수도 있지만 나도 오빠 마음에 울타리가 되주고싶어. 우리 잡은 손 놓지말자.
우리 정말 행복하게 잘 살거야^^
트라우마 땜에 밖에 잘 나가지도 못 하고, 기껏해야 받은 택배 정리하러 10분 거리있는 살던 자취집 왔다갔다 하는게 요즘 내 외출의 전부지만, 그래도 나 나름 노력하고 있어ㅎㅎ
나중에 우리 만났을 때 조금이라도 더 의젓하고 의연한 내 모습 보여주고 싶어서^^
내일은 더 멀리 애들 데리러 가.
두 달만에 보는 울 아가들이라 설레여ㅎㅎ
오빠랑도 얼른 함께 하고싶어.
모든 사람들 다 보는 이런 공개 연애편지 말고, 우리 둘만 볼 수 있는 편지 쓰고싶다ㅎㅎ
너무너무너무 사랑해. 그리고 보고싶어. 같이 있고 싶어.
우리 함께 할 날 꼭 올거야.
그 날까지 기다릴께♡

I was at yiruma’s concert in Toronto and when he played this piece , It was for me to hold my tears ! So emotional song even more in live
@RR-nx2ri
I was there too! So happy to have seen him perform live 😊
@user-jj3jv1fp8r
How can I describe his music...poetic( Koreans can feel some kind of emotion), nostalgic. ETC. reminds me of Chopin
@joannawronska4100
I agree with you, greetings.
@amalksuresh286
Music has no language.All can feel emotions through his music 🎵

Cada vez que descubro algo nuevo de Yiruma... me enamora.. creo que es una ángel que ha venido para transmitirnos que sí, existe ese lugar que anhelamos desde que hemos nacido. Esta en nuestro interior, en nuestros corazones, y él , con su música, permite que quién quiera volar, pueda ascender con su melodía hasta el cielo.. y sentir, que es posible vivir en el paraiso, si entre todos lo decidimos construir aquí, empezando por uno mismo. Gracias Yurima, por ayudarme a sentir, a creer, y a crear mi vida inspirado desde el corazón
