Sweaty palms, racing heartbeats. Your breath quickens.
The hall was dead silent. Before you know it, the sounds of melodies caress your soul. Euphoric rush of emotions washed through you. There are only a few people in this world who are capable to make you feel so much without words. And one of them is Yiruma. Yiruma has been an Idol for me all my life and also the main inspiration why I bought the beginners digital piano recently.
Our beloved Oppa, Yiruma is back in Kuala Lumpur and will be performing at Plenery Hall, KLCC tonight. So here are 5 Yiruma-related trivia to tug your heartstrings before his standing ovation-inducing concert tonight:
1. Yiruma is also known as Lee Ru-ma.
2. This is his third time performing in Malaysia.
Yiruma debuted in Malaysia back in October 2014, followed by his second concert during the following year.
Missed out once, shame on you. Missed out twice, shame on me. Missed out thrice? You’re just not a big fan of Oppa.
3. Yiruma is related to Kwon Sang-woo!
Pass the tissue box, please?
4. Our Oppa is an Aquarius.
He was born one day after Valentine’s. We wondered if he’s the reincarnated musician of St Valentines.
5. Yiruma used to have dual-citizenship.
One is Korean (like, duh), and the other was British. A cup of tea, sir?
You might still be able to get his tickets online. Though we highly doubt so. So here’s a video of the man himself in action.
