„Es klingt modern und jazzig.

YOUNEE ‚MY PIANO’
Die von den begeisterten Medien als Star-Pianistin bezeichnete Komponistin und Singer-Songwriterin YOUNEE aus Südkorea, beweist auch mit ihrem zweiten Album ‚MY PIANO’ eindrucksvoll, dass sie zu den Innovativsten gehört! Waren für ihr Bestseller-Charts stürmendes deutsches Debut-Album ‚Jugendstil’ noch Mozart, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff und andere ‚Klassiker’ für sie Inspiration,

so zündet YOUNEE auf ihrem neuen Album mit atemberaubender Fingerfertigkeit und elf Eigenkompositionen ein brillantes Feuerwerk zwischen Furioso und Pianissimo, nimmt den Hörer mit auf eine hochemotionale Reise in eine neue Welt der Klaviermusik. Bis zum letzten Ton passiert alles intuitiv, spontan, unerwartet, ohne in kitschige Gefilde oder in eine Virtuosität um der Virtuosität willen abzugleiten. ‚That’s me, das bin ich!’ meint YOUNEE , die jetzt in Deutschland lebende, ebenso hübsche wie charismatische Künstlerin selbstbewusst über ihr neues Album. Hier wird nichts verpoppt oder weichgespült….DANKE!“

ZDF/MoMa:
„Younee aus Südkorea ist dort ein richtiger Superstar und vermischt Klassik mit Blues und Jazz!“

TV ARD Klick, Klack:
“Younee ist eine echte Grenzgängerin. Traumwandlerisch verbindet sie Klassik, Pop und Jazz.“

dpa Deutsche Presse-Agentur
"Younee komponiert, improvisiert, singt, spielt Piano - und das alles überzeugend." "Younee doesn’t need 'The X Factor' or 'The Wow Factor' because she is youneeQue." Süddeutsche Zeitung
Nach Deutschland übergesiedelt, begann sie, alle ihre Fähigkeiten und Leidenschaften in ihrem Spiel zu bündeln: die klassische Technik und Formensprache, die melodische Kraft des Pop sowie die rhythmische Finesse und improvisatorische Freiheit des Jazz. Nur wenige klassische Pianisten können auch improvisieren. Younee beherrscht dies ebenso virtuos wie den Umgang mit Pop-Melodien. Bonner Generalanzeiger
»Younees aktuelle CD ›My Piano‹ vertieft den Hörgenuss und entführt in das Werk einer Pianistin, die die klassische Schulung nicht verleugnet und damit eine Nähe zu Pop, Rock und Jazz sucht, große Stärken beim Blues zeigt und ein Herz für Neue Musik hat. Von der rasanten ›Toccata and Blues‹ geht es zum verträumten ›Ansbach Blues‹ und ›Piano Virus‹, dessen Groove hoch ansteckend ist. Younee ist eine fantasievolle und vielseitige Pianistin, zudem versierte Komponistin, die auf der Bonus-live-CD auch noch singt, sehr gut sogar: die jazzige Ballade ›Hello, Hello‹, eine Eigenkomposition, und Mendelssohns ›Auf den Flügeln des Gesangs‹ in einer betörenden Interpretation. Stern, April / 2016
"Melodieverliebtes Multitalent:Younee mit 'My Piano'. Der als Star-Pianistin gelobten Younee gelingt es auch bei ihrem zweiten Album mit eigenen Werken als Sängerin und Songschreiberin zu überzeugen. Bei 'My Piano' zeigt sie ihr Können als Komponistin, Interpretin und Sängerin"

Nürnberger Nachrichten:
„Younee ist ein Phänomen: die Pianistin mit atemberaubenden Anschlag und einer schwerelosen Fingerfertigkeit pendelt mühelos zwischen Klassik, Jazz und Pop.“

Jazzthetik, Mai / Juni 2016
"Younee ist ein musikalisches Phänomen." "Das kann doch eigentlich nicht wahr sein. Ist es aber doch"

Crescendo, April / 2016
"Von gesanglich-melodiös bis rockig-funkig erweckt die Pianistin stilsicher alle Facetten zum Leben, klassische Virtuosität und technische Perfektion inklusive. Eine erfrischende und lebendige musikalische Begegnung!"

Jazzthing, April / Mai 2016
"Verspielt, melodieverliebt und äußerst fingerfertig kreiert Younee emotionale Momente voller Schönheit, zwischen verträumt und furios, und klingt dabei immer ganz natürlich." Jazzpodium, April 2016
"... dass hier ein Multitalent am Flügel sitzt, dem man gerne gebannt zuhört, wenn es spontan improvisiert, ohne die Harmonien aus den Augen zu verlieren." Nordwestradio
Dr. Wolfgang Rumpf (Musikredakteur bei Nordwestradio Kultursender Radio Bremen):
“...Younee´s CD My Piano, ist ein Keith Jarrett up-date in der Klassik...”

YOUNEE - “MY PIANO”

With her second album “MY PIANO”, South Korean Composer and singer/songwriter YOUNEE, who has been lauded as a star pianist by the enthusiastic media, proves once again that she indeed ranks among the finest! For “Jugendstil”, her German debut album which had taken the bestseller-charts by storm, she had still relied on the “classics” such as Mozart, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff and others for inspiration, but on her new album YOUNEE lights impressive fireworks of eleven of her very own compositions, of breathtaking dexterity and technique ranging from furioso to pianissimo and taking the listener along on a highly emotional journey and into a new world of piano music. Until the final note, everything happens intuitively, spontaneously, unexpectedly, without ever drifting off into the realms of kitsch or virtuosity for virtuosity’s sake.
“That’s me”, states YOUNEE, an equally pretty as well as charismatic performer currently living in Germany, about her new album. TV ARD Klick, Klack:
“Younee truly pushes the envelope. Like a dream walker she interweaves classical, pop, and jazz music.”

TV ARD/BR:
“Younee creates her own unique sound. Younee won’t let herself get musically restricted. Her openness leaves her space for development. At the same time, she knows precisely where jazz turns to shallowness and pop to muzak. Younee roughs up our musical scene and that sounds rather pleasant.”

TV ARD/Kultur-Tipp:
“It sounds modern and jazzy. Nothing gets turned into pop or saccharine … THANK YOU!”

TV ZDF/MoMa:
“Younee hails from South Korea where she is a true superstar who blends classical music with blues and jazz!“

TV ARD/BR ‚Abendschau’:
“Award-winning, internationally successful, technically perfect, and incredibly charming.”

Jazz Podium:
“This type of crossover defies all attempts at classification, you never feel an effort or the constraints of concept, but it results very simply from her natural ease and her playful treatment of musical material. Once again, piano music is allowed to by simply beautiful without ever drifting off into the realm of kitsch and sterile virtuosity.”

Nürnberger Nachrichten:
“Younee is a phenomenon: this pianist, with her breathtaking attack and gravity-defying dexterity, oscillates easily between classical music, jazz , and pop.”

Kieler Nachrichten:
“Younee breaks all boundaries between classical, jazz, pop, and rock music. How many others have attempted to inject classical music with jazz and got themselves lost in the jungle of crossover driven by its own razzle-dazzle? Younee walks hitherto untrodden paths.”

Fränkische Landeszeitung:
“At no time does it feel like a collage. It is always pleasure, feeling, her unique style.“

"Le Doubs"
Improvisation on Audience Request

08/06/2026

Show starts at 10:15 PM. The day stretches endlessly.
So I wandered and took in the streets, the faces, the quiet theatre of strangers passing by.
But the best thing to see? A piano shop.

I stepped into a room of grand pianos. Some were still being worked on, unfinished, still in dialogue with their makers. Others were already fully dressed, patient, waiting for their next owner.

And three of them spoke to me.

The moment I placed my hands on them, it felt like they were asking “Play this piece.”
And melodies began to emerge on their own, shaped by each instrument’s character.

The first piano was impossibly clear, perfectly prepared. It's response followed my fingertips all the way to the final decay.
Soft like a cushion, like walking on clouds. Even with half the force, the sound played itself.
Yet with a little more weight, it turned into crystal like light refracting through glass.
It felt like the Holy Spirit was already inside Bach’s Goldberg Aria, gently unfolding.
I just wanted to add soft, cloud-like harmonies around it.

The second piano had a more muted, desaturated tone.
It refused anything too colorful, too expressive in the usual sense.
And so, almost instinctively, Eleanor Rigby surfaced. Qquiet, restrained, inevitable.

The third was a nearly century-old instrument. Still in progress, still becoming.
Old-school, imperfect, unfinished… and yet it insisted on being romantic.
As if it were saying "I am already beautiful as I am.”
From it came a melody I didn’t plan 'My one and only love'
Not chosen by me, but offered by the piano itself.

I love moments like this.
I don’t always play the piano.
Sometimes, the piano plays through me.

Day 2 in Besançon

Beautiful day🎹☀️

Nice weather in Besaçon
Before the concert

04/06/2026

I’ve always sat alone at the piano on stage.

But deep inside, there has always been a rocker living in me.

That night, on one of Korea’s biggest television shows, ‘I Am a Singer’, Yoon Do-hyun of YB invited me to perform with them.

The moment I stood up in my red dress and played the piano, an explosive energy surged through me.
It felt as if all the different musicians living inside me were playing together.

It was a truly grateful and unforgettable stage. And for rock, a red dress is perfect.

That performance reminded me once again:
I love playing solo, but I also live for creating with other artists — different genres, different voices, different stories.

That red dress moment with YB remains one of my most special memories.

Estate 🌞
Younee in Juni

A timeless 1960 classic by Bruno Martino.

This song instantly captured my heart when I first heard it. I couldn’t stop wondering why the melody felt so addictive. Then I saw the lyrics and suddenly liked it even more.
Italian lyrics.. sung the way it felt to me.

Estate

Sei calda come i baci che ho perduto
Sei piena di un amore che è passato
Che il cuore mio vorrebbe cancellar

Odio l'estate
Il sole che ogni giorno ci donava
Gli splendidi tramonti che creava
Adesso brucia solo con furor

Tornerà un altro inverno
Cadranno mille petali di rose
La neve coprirà tutte le cose
E il cuore un po' di pace troverà

Odio l'estate
Che ha dato il suo profumo ad ogni fiore
L'estate che ha creato il nostro amore
Per farmi poi morire di dolor

Odio l'estate
Odio l'estate

Der Mond ist aufgegangen 🌙
Good Nicht🎹

난 만년초보로 느껴도 샘은 친절하게 Sehr gut! 이래. 도대체 언제 테니스를 잘 칠 수 있을까? 왜 손목은 피아노 칠때처럼 흐느적 거릴까? 그리고 더 후드려 패듯이 파워있으면 좋겠고 뻥 뚫리는 시원한 총소리가 ...

난 만년초보로 느껴도 샘은 친절하게 Sehr gut! 이래. 도대체 언제 테니스를 잘 칠 수 있을까? 왜 손목은 피아노 칠때처럼 흐느적 거릴까? 그리고 더 후드려 패듯이 파워있으면 좋겠고 뻥 뚫리는 시원한 총소리가 났으면 좋겠는제 왜 배드민턴 소리가 날까? 그래도 안 잘해도 괜찮을 수 있다는건 정말 즐거운일이다. 독일어를 배울때 느꼈던 이 느낌!
Still an eternal beginner, but my coach said “Sehr gut!”
Yet here I am wondering… when will I actually play well? Why is my wrist so floppy? And when can I finally hear that satisfying crisp pop 🔫 shot sound instead of this badminton sound?
Still, realizing it’s perfectly okay if I never get good… that’s the real joy. 🎾

Piano without face

A moment from today’s live.

While on a boat sailing the Baltic Sea, a listener requested “Pink Floyd.” With no specific song named, “Hey You” came to mind, so I played it.

There’s something poetic about how one band name can carry such emotion. Pink Floyd’s music remains timeless.

Grateful for these unexpected connections across the sea.

What would you like to hear next?
