Biography
Yunchan Lim redefined classical piano competition when he won the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2022 at 18 years old, becoming the youngest person ever to claim the title. Born March 20, 2004, in South Korea, Lim is a pianist whose rise compressed decades of classical ambition into a single high-stakes moment. Following his Van Cliburn victory, he signed an exclusive contract with Decca in 2023. His debut album for the label, Chopin: Études, secured the Piano Award at the 2024 Gramophone Classical Music Awards, establishing him as a recording artist of international standing. As an Aries born in spring 2004, Lim channels the sign's trademark combativeness and drive—qualities evident in his approach to one of classical music's most grueling competitions. Pianists train from childhood and often compete for decades before reaching this level; Lim's youth amplified the cultural impact of his win.
