Hi, everybody.

Ban-gap-seum-ni-da.

I'd like to share with you a little bit of me
6
178644
2834
03:01
playing my life.
7
181478
2112
03:03
I might look successful and happy
8
183590
2689
03:06
being in front of you today,
9
186279
2098
03:08
but I once suffered from severe depression
10
188377
3086
03:11
and was in total despair.
11
191463
2365
03:13
The violin, which meant everything to me,
12
193828
3105
03:16
became a grave burden on me.
13
196933
2577
03:19
Although many people tried to comfort and encourage me,
14
199510
3726
03:23
their words sounded like meaningless noise.
15
203236
3925
03:27
When I was just about to give everything up
16
207161
3362
03:30
after years of suffering,
17
210523
2363
03:32
I started to rediscover the true power of music.

In the midst of hardship,
20
299924
2852
05:02
it was the music that gave me -- that restored my soul.
21
302776
5490
05:08
The comfort the music gave me
22
308266
1769
05:10
was just indescribable,
23
310035
1710
05:11
and it was a real eye-opening experience for me too,
24
311745
4164
05:15
and it totally changed my perspective on life
25
315909
3304
05:19
and set me free from the pressure
26
319213
2656
05:21
of becoming a successful violinist.
27
321869
4938
05:26
Do you feel like you are all alone?
28
326807
3139
05:29
I hope that this piece will touch and heal your heart,
29
329946
3559
05:33
as it did for me.

33

07:02
Now, I use my music to reach people's hearts
34
422503
3937
07:06
and have found there are no boundaries.
35
426440
2679
07:09
My audience is anyone who is here to listen,
36
429119
3559
07:12
even those who are not familiar with classical music.
37
432678
4248
07:16
I not only play at the prestigious classical concert halls
38
436926
4849
07:21
like Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Center,
39
441775
1935
07:23
but also hospitals, churches, prisons,
40
443710
3791
07:27
and restricted facilities for leprosy patients,
41
447501
4220
07:31
just to mention a few.
42
451721
1966
07:33
Now, with my last piece, I'd like to show you
43
453687
4610
07:38
that classical music can be so much fun, exciting,
44
458297
3681
07:41
and that it can rock you.
45
461978
2804
07:44
Let me introduce you to my brand new project,
46
464782
3428
07:48
"Baroque in Rock,"
47
468210
1505
07:49
which became a golden disc most recently.
48
469715
3692
07:53
It's such an honor for me.
49
473407
2497
07:55
I think, while I'm enjoying my life as a happy musician,
50
475904
4241
08:00
I'm earning a lot more recognition than I've ever imagined.
51
480145
4633
08:04
But it's now your turn.
52
484778
3567
08:08
Changing your perspectives
53
488345
1471
08:09
will not only transform you but also the whole world.
54
489816
3948
08:13
Just play your life with all you have,
55
493764
2483
08:16
and share it with the world.
56
496247
2334
08:18
I really look forward to witnessing
57
498581
1825
08:20
a transforming world by you, TEDsters.
58
500406
3945
08:24
Play your life, and stay tuned.
