At 12, Kim Yeonah is already shaping her own sound

Her YouTube duet with French pianist Julien Cohen has been viewed more than 17 million times. She has performed for world leaders at APEC alongside robots, won grand prizes at competitions across continents, and earned standing ovations in cities where she could not pronounce the street names. She just turned 12 in April. Her name is Kim Yeonah, the same Korean name as the beloved figure skater Kim Yuna, who won South Korea's first Olympic gold in figure skating. Her mother chose it on purpose.
