<![CDATA[<p>The internet often raises questions.  The latest question is &amp;ldquo;Are geniuses simply born rather than developed?&amp;rdquo;  That is the question many people ask themselves when they encounter Yoo Ye-eun for the first time on one of a number of websites where video footage of her appears.  Blind since birth, the five year old Korean girl has stunned TV and internet users with footage of her remarkable abilities.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/webupon/2008/07/12/216625_0.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>It was last year that the TV show &amp;ldquo;Star King&amp;rdquo; introduced the child prodigy to a wide audience.  Still at nursery school and having to be helped up on the piano stool, the youngster often moves her audiences to tears with her renditions of Beethoven, Chopin and Mozart.</p>
<p>Watch Yoo Ye-eun play!</p>

<p>According to her adoptive mother, Yoo Ye-eun can play a tune after hearing it only once.  The child first demonstrated her talent two years ago when, after hearing her mother humming a song popular at the time she repeated it - note and pitch perfect - on a borrowed piano.  For a while this talent was kept secret, known only to close friends and family but thanks to video footage available on websites, such as YouTube her fame is now beginning to spread.</p>
<p>Like other child geniuses, little Yoo Ye-eun has had some personal tragedies.  She was abandoned at birth and was set to be raised in an orphanage.  Fortunately, Yoo Chang Joo and his wife were looking for a little girl to adopt.  Since Yoo Chang Joo was wheelchair bound, he and his wife decided to adopt a child with physical disabilities.  So it was that Yoo Ye-eun came to live with them, followed several years later by the discovery of her prodigious talents.</p>

</p>
<p>Her adoptive parents were determined that her first appearance on &amp;ldquo;Star King&amp;rdquo; was to be her last so that Yoo Ye-eun could escape the trappings and potential of trauma of great fame when still a child.  However, she had captured the heart of the nation and was soon back on TV due to popular demand - and through her own choice.  It seems that when she grows up she wants to be a concert pianist.</p>

<p>Since then she has performed in front of Lee Hsien Loong, the Korean Prime Minister and has even dueted with British child star Connie Talbot.  As her amazing abilities spread around the internet, she is almost certainly bound to become a global name. However, the real question still remains - &amp;ldquo;Are geniuses simply born?&amp;rdquo; Time will tell if this little girl's remarkable talent for mimicry develops in to a talent for original composition, but this would be the great hope for her.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FWeb-Talk%2FBlind-Korean-Five-year-old-Piano-Prodigy-is-New-Internet-Sensation.166019"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupon.com%2FWeb-Talk%2FBlind-Korean-Five-year-old-Piano-Prodigy-is-New-Internet-Sensation.166019" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
