He was born in Feb 15, 1978 and started to learn the piano at home at the age of 5. In 1988 he moved to England, and in December 1996 he participated in the album The Musicians of Purcell (Decca). Graduating from Purcell School of Music in July 1997, Yiruma continued his musical aspirations and completed a Composition major from King's College London in June 2000.
While studying at Kings College, this promising pianist released his first album "Love Scene" through DECCA records. Additionally, during his time in college, he participated in a musical tour in Europe. Making a historical impact for his country, Yiruma was the first Korean artist to receive an invitation to perform at the 2002 MIDEM in Cannes, France.

While being successful in the music industry, Yiruma decided to serve in the South Korean military. Hence, in 2006 he gave up his British citizenship and enlisted in the Korean Navy. Completed his service in the Korean Navy, he began the 2008 Yiruma Come Back Tour, Ribbonized, in 20 cities across Korea. His former concerts in Korea have been always on issue.

Yiruma has released 8 studio albums and composed lots of soundtracks for musicals, films and plays. He composed the main theme for KBS drama and “Fairy Tale” for the super hit drama in 2011.

In 2011, Yiruma released his best album with Sony Music Entertainment Korea Inc., and his concert in 13 Korean cities has successfully held. Official videos for the best album are on Youtube Yiruma VEVO. The videos including his most famous pieces “Kiss the Rain”, “Maybe” and “River Flows in You”, hit over 100 million views on YouTube.

2012 May, Yiruma released his 7th studio album [Stay in Memory]. Since it has been 3 years from Yiruma’s last studio album, he composed beautiful piano solo pieces which fans have been waiting for. The Album 「Stay in Memory」 is recorded in a concert hall for vividness of playing by two Korean best engineers; one is Lee Jae Hoon and the other is Hwang Byeong Joon who is the first Korean winner of “Best Engineer” on Grammy Awards.

(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

Yiruma just blows my mind. NEVER have I encountered music that tells you a whole, deeply emotional, gripping story without a single word. UNBELIEVABLE, he has a one-in-a-billion gift that was truly given by the one and only GOD. His music just grips me and makes me want to fall on my knees and worship God, because of its beauty.

A lone soul walks through a white forest. Icy as his frozen heart, he sees his memories still frozen in place. Though much time has passed. And many season have gone by, his soul still bleeds for her every step he takes. He hopes that like the seasons change that his wounds will heal. He hopes that he may one day forget. Perhaps one day he can free himself from his icy past, So that he can leave his pain behind still frozen in those golden memories. But he needs to know that time keeps on moving, and so must he.

My dog passed away listening to this song. His favourite music was David Nevue and Yiruma, it would calm him when he was afraid of anything and he’d be able to sleep. It hurts my heart everytime I listen, memories and good times, but also the pain of loosing such a special boy 💔

You have been blessed with a voice. We live in a sad world. The least you could do is stop using words of hatred (and saying "it's just a joke" to get yourself out of trouble) and start spreading words of kindness.
And because you told me my comment was lame; I'll tell you that I think both of your comments were actually pretty stupid too... I was planning to write a longer reply about some of the ridiculous things you said, but I'm lazy and not really that offended anyways, so.... goodnight! :D

These pictures took my breath away. And the piece itself just added to the feeling. This video made me feel like I was actually walking through the forest in the winter, or on top of the mountains when the sun is rising, or even just staring out my window, while the snow just gently falls down. Beautiful. This made me want to cry.

@GenieWillow

Only the cruel&unkind cannot take in the sincere purity of this song... It seams to hover past their head and stay on the top... Yiruma's songs bring out that time when we remember everything, when we regret all our sins, when we forget the past... when we finally know how to live a day in our busy lives full of Rap, pop and jazz. We barely hear any of this anymore. In fact, these songs can make you feel so blissful and divine that you forgive everyone and everything in your life... Amazing....

I love and hate this song... I love it because it reminds me of really good times, but I hate it because it reminds me of all the people that I'll never see again. Reminds me that every second that passes I'm getting closer to my death, but also reminds me of how beautiful life can be. I hate this nostalgic feeling that's in my heart right now and thinking of the future, but I love this nostalgic feeling too and how it reminds me to keep up.

it's so beautiful, one of my favorites, when people ask me if I can play river flows in you on the piano( because of twilight ) I tell them that there are many others yiruma's songs which are more wonderful ... this song it's a good example. Yiruma (L)

Time will not forget my beautiful Grandmother- neither will my grandpa who loved her so very much. And I will certainly never forget my Kitty, my best friend for fifteen years who i miss every day. When I come home and there is no cat to feed or litter to do or Grandmother to kiss, I listen to this. This brings me memories.

@chaosemperor24

Haha, Time Forgets. What a beautiful name. I'm glad time forgets, so every now and then I can just put all that stuff behind me because they're things of the past. This song reminds me that you don't just have to keep all these things locked away, because time forgets and it will all get better. No matter what happens, time will forget. Time Forgets. Time Heals.

keep your head up. this song can relate to so many memories or people we loved. Just remember though time may forget the memories, the laughs, the tears, the hugs & kisses, the emotions, and the love. We don't. And we keep that love alive through ourselves. God bless you and your family

This makes me think of my mom.. I lost her all to suddenly, just a flash before my eyes and she was gone.. forever.. I miss her dearly and I wish I could just see her.. just one more time.. hug her.. tell her "I love you, mom. Always have" I wish she was still here with me.. I need her more now than ever, and I see all these kids who still have their mom.. it kills me.. and those ever so often posts about how wonderful their mom is and how much they love her It just completely kills me inside..

I love this song, it is so incredibly peaceful and reminds me that no matter how hard life can seem at times there is always hope, things will always get better. You just have to hold in there and be patient. It may seem a long way off, but one day, one very special day, something will happen and you will be happy again. I used to suffer from depression - it has been almost four years since my special day and I have never looked back.

This makes me think of my first love as well. Our love was once so pure and all that really mattered in the world was her. Almost as if nothing else existed besides our love. Although this song has no lyrics it is very nostalgic. I haven't talked to her for a year and I feel as though Ive lost everything. lost love. lost a heart. lost life. I miss her so much and my heart still lingers onto her though its been so long. I love you Shosh and I will never forget the moments we shared as first loves

I remember still a place where I could hide and be alone. From far away places I had come and further places to go, but I at last found a hiding place for the time. No water, no fire and no people. All the rages of the world was silent, all the hatred and furnished anger was gone. It was me and that wall. I liked the wall, but not because it was oppressing or kept me in. It reminded me that I was safe, that I was out of harm, out of danger. I have many memories of that wall that I cherish still.
