In this special premiere of Encore Conversations, The Piano Pod’s brand-new alumni series, I sit down with award-winning pianist, author, and educator Jeeyoon Kim. You may remember her from Season 3, where she inspired us with her originality, authenticity, and mission to make concerts deeply personal. Now she returns with her most intimate project yet — her second book Beyond the Keys and companion album Radiance.

In our Encore Conversation, Jeeyoon opens up about:

1. ✅ The inspiration behind Beyond the Keys
2. ✅ Why she chose to share her deepest challenges with her readers
3. ✅ What she discovered about herself through writing
4. ✅ How her new album Radiance expands on the book’s themes of love, resilience, and connection
