"I feel like I've vomited lava inside me for 10 years"
This is how I felt when Lim Yoon-chan released the Chopin Etude album in April.

With this album that spent seven hours just practicing the first two bars of a tricky song,

Im Yunchan became the main character of the piano category at the Gramophone Music Awards.

This is the first time a Korean has won the piano award in this album.

[Im Yoon-chan / Pianist (last April): If you don't hit your heart when you press the first note, that's not a practice. If you don't feel it when you go over to Leshops, you keep doing it.]

Gramophone previously praised the album for being as light as a feather and full of joy and youth.

Lim Yoon-chan also put "List: Practice Songs for Super-Chronic Art" on the shortlist album,
It is very unusual for an artist
to be shortlisted for two albums in one category.

Lim Yoon-chan won two awards this time, even winning the Young Artist Award.After appearing like a comet by winning the

Van Clyburn Competition', he was recognized as a world-class pianist beyond the 'genius boy'.

In December, Lim Yoon-chan will perform with Deutsche Cammerpilharmonic, led by "command master" Fabo Yerby, and meet with domestic fans for the first time since this award.
