(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

잘 지내? 요즘 마음이 많이 답답해서, 오빠생각 나서 또 편지쓴다. 무섭고 힘들 때도, 맛있는걸 먹을 때도, 행복한 순간에도 당신 생각이 나는걸 보면 내가 엄청 많이 사랑하나봐♡
부모님과 한집에서 지낸다는건 정말 쉽지 않다ㅎㅎ 최대한 트러블 일으키지 않으려 노력하는데 가끔 그게 잘 안되네.
밤에 잠드는게 두려워서 버티다가 새벽 늦게 잠드는 것도, 밖에 나가길 꺼려하는 이유도, 혼자 살던 자취집에서 지내는걸 두려워하는 이유도, 아무것도 모르시는 부모님 눈엔 그저 한심한 딸일 뿐.
내가 내 나라로부터 살해와 납치 위협을 받았던 가장 무섭고 외로운 순간에도, 트라우마와 싸우는 순간에도 철저하게 혼자라는 느낌이었어. 내 나라 뿐 아니라, 전세계가 나와 내 아이들을 노린다는걸 처음 알게 된 순간은 정말 너무 무서웠어. 근데 그 순간에 가족한테조차 의지 할 수 없다는게 참....결국 그 순간 생각나는 사람이 당신이더라.
부끄럽게도 난 당신처럼 강하고 힘 있는 사람이 아니라서, 내 나름의 방법대로 가족들을 지켜. 이 모든 상황을 나 혼자 안고 가는게 내가 사랑하는 내 가족들을 지키는 방법이야. 가족들 어느 누구도 위험에 빠트리지 않게.
가끔 이런 내가 무력하게 느껴질 때가 있어. 오빠를 도와서 이 상황을 빨리 끝내고 싶은데 내가 할 수 있는게 기도 밖에 없다는게 답답하고 미안해.
고군분투하고 있을 당신 생각에, 내 힘듬을 털어놓기 전 많이 고민했어. 내 힘듬이 당신에게 짐과 부담이 될까봐. 그리고 항상 미안하고 고맙고 보고싶고 매순간 당신을 잃을까봐 두려운데....이 모든 마음이 말로는 잘 표현이 안되네.
아무도 우리가 함께하는걸 바라지 않더라도, 난 우리 포기 안해. 모든것 다 뛰어넘고 우리 잘 될거야. 당신은 모든걸 다 할 수 있고 이룰 수 있는 사람이야. 나 당신 믿어.
우리 힘내자. 나도 오빠 힘나도록 많이 웃고 밝게 지내도록 노력할게. 내가 항상 뒤에서 기도하고 응원하고 있다는거 알아줘. 항상 조심하고 다치지마요. 너무너무너무 사랑해♡

Yiruma is like the Kousei of composing, making you see all these expressive colors that you'd never think you'd see from listening to music. I think Yiruma's better than a good deal of classical/romantic/etc. composers when it comes to expression of emotion and feelings.
Also, props to anyone who gets the reference I made.

Kousei... Is this a reference to Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso? (sorry if I write it incorrectly)
