A blind five-year-old pianist from South Korea has stunned the music world after a video of her performance received more than 27million hits.
Yoo Ye-eun, who was born blind and adopted in 2002, has never had a formal piano lesson but can play any song after just one listen.
And now her remarkable talent is set to propel her to stardom as clips of her amazing performance have attracted millions of viewers to Korean website Pandora TV. A similar clip on YouTube has so far received two million hits.
Her display on ‘Star King’, a Korean talent show, earned the youngster £500 in prize money and moved the studio audience to tears.

Omg, one lesson?
Must be some sort of hyper-learning condition…
That’s amazing ^-^
She’ll be a savant. It’s uncommon but not unheard of. I find savants incredibly interesting. Their talents could better show us the way our brains work.
She is astounding – I love Beethovens Fur Elise : – )
That’s so sweet, she’s truly gifted.
I’m so jealous! I can just about manage chopsticks ;P hehe
I don’t think it’s a savant .. I think it’s more to her being blind and therefor focussing on other things than seeing childeren. Savant’s are often autists I think. Not that it really matters .. as long as she’s not being forced too much by parents and the article is true ..
You may only hope that your child will play also your favorite songs … no matter how good she/he will play it … if you hate the song .. you will still hate it .. and there goes the superb career of the little one …
hoax? the video was removed before I could take a peek. This boy’s not as young, but oh my can he play the guitar:
