(Applause)

3
00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:41,834
Thank you.

4
00:02:41,834 --> 00:02:44,525
Hi, everybody.

5
00:02:44,525 --> 00:02:46,644
Ban-gap-seum-ni-da.

6
00:02:46,644 --> 00:02:49,478
I'd like to share with you a little bit of me

7
00:02:49,478 --> 00:02:51,590
playing my life.

8
00:02:51,590 --> 00:02:54,279
I might look successful and happy

9
00:02:54,279 --> 00:02:56,377
being in front of you today,

10
00:02:56,377 --> 00:02:59,463
but I once suffered from severe depression

11
00:02:59,463 --> 00:03:01,828
and was in total despair.

12
00:03:01,828 --> 00:03:04,933
The violin, which meant everything to me,

13
00:03:04,933 --> 00:03:07,510
became a grave burden on me.

14
00:03:07,510 --> 00:03:11,236
Although many people tried to comfort and encourage me,

15
00:03:11,236 --> 00:03:15,161
their words sounded like meaningless noise.

16
00:03:15,161 --> 00:03:18,523
When I was just about to give everything up

17
00:03:18,523 --> 00:03:20,886
after years of suffering,

18
00:03:20,886 --> 00:03:26,427
I started to rediscover the true power of music.

19
00:03:26,427 --> 00:03:41,316
(Music)

20
00:04:47,924 --> 00:04:50,776
In the midst of hardship,

21
00:04:50,776 --> 00:04:56,266
it was the music that gave me -- that restored my soul.

22
00:04:56,266 --> 00:04:58,035
The comfort the music gave me

23
00:04:58,035 --> 00:04:59,745
was just indescribable,

24
00:04:59,745 --> 00:05:03,909
and it was a real eye-opening experience for me too,

25
00:05:03,909 --> 00:05:07,213
and it totally changed my perspective on life

26
00:05:07,213 --> 00:05:09,869
and set me free from the pressure

27
00:05:09,869 --> 00:05:14,807
of becoming a successful violinist.

28
00:05:14,807 --> 00:05:17,946
Do you feel like you are all alone?

29
00:05:17,946 --> 00:05:21,505
I hope that this piece will touch and heal your heart,

30
00:05:21,505 --> 00:05:24,016
as it did for me.

31
00:05:24,016 --> 00:05:29,981
(Music)

32
00:06:40,051 --> 00:06:48,758
(Applause)

33
00:06:48,758 --> 00:06:50,503
Thank you.

34
00:06:50,503 --> 00:06:54,440
Now, I use my music to reach people's hearts

35
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,119
and have found there are no boundaries.

36
00:06:57,119 --> 00:07:00,678
My audience is anyone who is here to listen,

37
00:07:00,678 --> 00:07:04,926
even those who are not familiar with classical music.

38
00:07:04,926 --> 00:07:09,775
I not only play at the prestigious classical concert halls

39
00:07:09,775 --> 00:07:11,710
like Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Center,

40
00:07:11,710 --> 00:07:15,501
but also hospitals, churches, prisons,

41
00:07:15,501 --> 00:07:19,721
and restricted facilities for leprosy patients,

42
00:07:19,721 --> 00:07:21,687
just to mention a few.

43
00:07:21,687 --> 00:07:26,297
Now, with my last piece, I'd like to show you

44
00:07:26,297 --> 00:07:29,978
that classical music can be so much fun, exciting,

45
00:07:29,978 --> 00:07:32,782
and that it can rock you.

46
00:07:32,782 --> 00:07:36,210
Let me introduce you to my brand new project,

47
00:07:36,210 --> 00:07:37,715
"Baroque in Rock,"

48
00:07:37,715 --> 00:07:41,407
which became a golden disc most recently.

49
00:07:41,407 --> 00:07:43,904
It's such an honor for me.

50
00:07:43,904 --> 00:07:48,145
I think, while I'm enjoying my life as a happy musician,

51
00:07:48,145 --> 00:07:52,778
I'm earning a lot more recognition than I've ever imagined.

52
00:07:52,778 --> 00:07:56,345
But it's now your turn.

53
00:07:56,345 --> 00:07:57,816
Changing your perspectives

54
00:07:57,816 --> 00:08:01,764
will not only transform you but also the whole world.

55
00:08:01,764 --> 00:08:04,247
Just play your life with all you have,

56
00:08:04,247 --> 00:08:06,581
and share it with the world.

57
00:08:06,581 --> 00:08:08,406
I really look forward to witnessing

58
00:08:08,406 --> 00:08:12,351
a transforming world by you, TEDsters.

59
00:08:12,351 --> 00:08:17,394
Play your life, and stay tuned.

00:08:17,410 --> 00:08:25,522
