Here’s a touching and inspiring story for all our readers.
Blind since birth, 5-year-old Yoo Ye-eun appeared on Star King – a Korean talent competition show – in March 2007.
The little angel has not received any formal piano lessons, but has the gift to play-by-ear after listening to a song once.
Prodigy: Yoo Ye-eun on the pianoShe started tinkling the ivories when she was three, after listening to her Mother sing. Since then, she has only been “learning” music through the computer.
Yoo Ye-eun’s performance during Star King (sorry, but video has been removed by Coolsmurf) left many teary-eyed as she deftly moved her fingers over the piano keys, and amazingly hit the right notes – all this without the sense of sight!
It is also revealed that Ye-eun is an adoptee. Oh, she sings AND plays the piano at the same time too! Now, how’s that for talent?
Yeah, she’s so talented at such an early age!! I’ve seen both her appereances in Star King and it’s impossible not to get teary eyes…and besides, such a sad story for a 5 year old…she’s been through so much…poor child…but hey! that’s talented alright! she’s trully gifted
singing that CCM song did me in…she’s too precious. what a miraculous gift she is!!! literally awesome.
Hope the little girl gets some support/guidance from those who can help her develop into a talented pianist/musician!
She’s a def. sweetheart.
i cried so much looking at this.. ahh .. I hope she can be a good musician soon!
and people can I know who sang the original song of “You was born to be loved” and where I can get the mp3?
towards the end of the video where she sings and plays…it’s so touching. she’s so cute.
OMG!! This Girl has a Gift! O.O I wish I knew how to play the piano like her!
Just listen and looking at her playing makes me cry…not because i’m sad or feel sorry for her but because i’m so so proud of her. Such a talented and gifted kid.
that song she sang while playing the piano is by a korean christian praise team called CCM. as for the mp3 not sure…sorry.
I always remember when Heechul’s waterworks exploded seeing this young Ye-eun. It was as though he had lost control and just could not stop himself. Kangin had to hold him because he was shaking. Somebody help this girl please!
Simply Wonderful! Truely an angel! When are they going to develop a website for her??
Great God!
She simply blows EVERYTHING AWAY…
In the next few years, with proper guidance, and many more exposure… I am sure she will be the source of the next few greatest musical masterpiece!
A truely gifted composer… she is indeed a Mozart reincarnate…
I made a CD from clips of her on Star King. She’s the sweetest little girl I’ve ever heard of. I would love for my wife and I to meet her one day in South Korea, just to see this true gift from god. I will be the first to line up to buy her CD.
