Episode Details

South Koreas one-handed piano legend, Lee Hun, is making a remarkable comeback after losing the use of his right hand in 2012. With the support of his family and mentor, he has become the countrys only pro left-hand pianist, performing recitals and releasing a memoir. His journey took a significant turn in 2016 when he debuted at the hospital where he received treatment, playing challenging etudes and collaborating with his mentor on a moving rendition of Amazing Grace. Lee is now preparing for his first orchestra gig, aiming to perform Ravels Piano Concerto for the Left Hand. His focus has shifted from technical skills to raw emotion, and he even managed to press a key with his right hand last November, keeping hope alive for a full two-hand return.
