Pianist Lim Yoon-chan has addressed fans' health concerns following the addition of an extra performance to his concert schedule, stating it was a decision made with his well-being in mind.
On October 26, Lim posted on his social media, expressing, "I apologize to those who felt worried or disappointed by the additional collaboration. I respect both your concerns for my health and your anticipation for the originally announced program."
He continued, "This performance was a joyful decision made by myself, the conductor, and the orchestra. I understand the worries surrounding consecutive performances. Just as Cézanne painted Mont Sainte-Victoire from various angles and lights, I will approach this as well. This decision considers my condition and limits, and I will ensure to take adequate rest and care."
Lim is set to perform with the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Marin Alsop, from November 5 to 9 in Incheon and Seoul. Initially, he was not scheduled to perform at the concert on November 7 at the Seoul Arts Center, but his agency, Mok Production, announced on October 21 that he would be participating and that the program would be adjusted.
This announcement has sparked concerns among fans in online communities, with many expressing worries about potential hand injuries and the demanding schedule.
