I've just started learning to play the guitar and I was complaining about how my hands were too small and were hurting holding down chords. Then my tutor showed me this video.
It looks like a full size guitar. I don't know how playable the guitar is. It is amazing she can create the notes with her little hands. A true prodigy!
you cannot play like that unless you are having the time of your life. Its uplifting to see the joy on her face. her music will be a valuable friend for life. Its a delight to watch and i am stunned Im a good player but I have been inspired greatly by a mere child...alneit an obvious prodigy. simply amazing.
Does anyoen have a link to a track of this "Boy Commander" music shes playing? Its really soothing, and quite impressive. Few days later, im still shredding a tear for this amazing kid. Keep playing!
you can tell how good she feels to have music flowing so freely from her. my 2 year old son loves seeing children play music like this. it really inspires him!
I have been watching you, little Kang, along with my children, every week for 2 months now. You bring us as so much joy, and we want to be your Canadian friends. Keep up the fabulous work. Apart from your amazing skill, you interpret this music so well for someone of your tender years. Your guitar playing is very expressive. Love from Canada!!!
This girl loves playing - and please don´t dismiss that, just because she is so young! Kids with a musicality like hers will naturally be drawn to playing. You can´t beat it into them. This cutie has an orchestra in her :-)
I've seen this before but could watch it over and over again. I love how when she gets through a progression and then smiles. How utterly adorable to the tenth power. I guess I should stop whining about not being able to do barre chords 'cause my hands are too small, hahah. So talented. What a little doll. Thank you for posting this.
Stunning. She is really loving playing. Surely they have 000 or parlor sized guitars for the kids. That guitar is too much of a handfull. The joy of music - no borders.
+Rod McLean do you even know what this really is..? she is forced to learn guitar for the state, not because the joy of music. She has to play and play well or else her and her ENTIRE family will be killed, tortured or worse sent to the labor camps. she is a slave to the Kim dynasty like all of North Korea, its sad.
+Rod McLean Do some research then, you'll know how is the reality on north korea, there are various documentaries out there. I agree she could have a natural tallent maybe and even joy on music, but either way, she is forced to play guitar really well.

Exactly, Federico. The original post was a happy comment on music transcending borders and then idiots appear and spout off unjustified hatred against people they don't even know or understand. It's pathetic that after America degraded itself into a cesspool of selfish filth, it wants to degrade all the rest of the decent countries as well.
Đầy chất nghẫu hứng và lãng mạn! Một cô bé với một chiếc đàn guitare cô điển, say mê với từng nốt nhạc đầy chất lãng mạn và nghệ thuật với những ngón đàn điêu luyện và ngẫu hứng Nhìn đôi tay cô bé biểu diển mà tôi cứ ngỡ là của một nghệ sỹ chơi guitare
I watched this twice and, being a guitar player and sound engineer, i can tell you shes not faking it and the quality isn't all that good so it most likely is a room mic. watch her fingers, she can move them like a pro regardless! her thumb matches every bass note all the way through, except some that are not as audible, further suggesting that it is a room mic and she still has some improvements to make as a guitarist but my classical gtr teacher can just barely play this good!
Extremely beautiful and well executed, just remarkable for a child so young. You can actually see where her playing touches her soul by her gratified expressions at certain movements. For a child so young to accomplish this is a testament to the will of the spirit under the oppression of such an evil regime. God please keep her happy, well and loved.
I wonder if I'll ever reach her level in ANYTHING over my entire life... This is absolutely impressive, I just hope that this little girl live an happy life and not an enslaved and dictatured one.
I adore listening to the very, very talented children from N Korea. Their talent and youthful enthusiasm brings me joy. However, having raised children myself, I know the time involved in training youngsters this age to such an exalted level of artistry. I wonder when children just have fun and play games with their peers. Although the parents must be very proud, I believe they are damaging the young lives just to please their leader. There is probably more fear than pride driving them to such extreme measures.I pray that someday soon, North Korea will experience a more tolerable and honest leader. I do not want to discuss politics but it is an egregious crime to abuse children, whichever way you do it.
If a child excels in something doesn't mean there's no time for play. On the contrary, it helps to rewind. Certainly better than gaming and social apps.
@@kayem3824 I agree. usually the harder one works, the harder one plays. look at Japanese society for instance. although there is room for debate about labour laws, working conditions, expectations, and so on.
@@alexyang8440 A child's earlier years is wasted if not planned, because in those early years learning ability is the highest. There's a Russian girl, Bella - is on YT - who learned eight languages by the time she was six years old I think, only because her mother planned it. School is too basic, it's not fair not to learn life enhancing skills like languages and music if it's possible in s scientific way. That's why in NK it seems that it's not just a few children who can play music because their parents paid for private lessons and could afford to buy the instruments, but because of a planned and free system from the kindergarten.
Children really are underestimated and underappreciated in societies today. Is that not the feeling that generally drives them toward adolescent rebellion? Not that NK is a utopia by any means, but hey, they do what they can with what they have, don't they? And as you suggest, I think they are doing just fine. There is a video of a band, "Laibach," who performed in N. Korea, called "Liberation Day" (you can watch it for free on Archive.org), and the Western Slovenian band does in fact suggest there is no lie to the thought the North Koreans appear to be the happiest people in the world. Westerners often forget the dictum "one cannot live on bread alone."
@salsadance22 : When we see a child play an instrument in the Western nations, that child is labeled a "Genius". When we see a child play an instrument in nations who don't agree with the West they are labeled as "Abused" . don't forget it is a different culture !.... anyway the younger you learn things the better, the easier it is for the child, and they play with dolls too, the instrument is another toy for them !!....
I really enjoyed seeing this beautiful little girl playing the Spanish Guitar so well! I just hope the country of N. Korea will let her travel the world to show us what they are like in person and allow her to profit form this great- great talent!!!
Awww, she plays so well, but I have to say that the FAKE clapping at the end really hits a chord on how staged and controlled North Korea is. Quite sad, but I hope this girls gets to live a life of happiness in someway by playing her music :)
And I'm over here thinking my hands are to small. Great video, great guitarist you just showed me that anyone can play a guitar .small hands or not thanks allot for posting this video.
This girl is exceptionally good at guitar. Although I do fear that due to the North Korean lifestyle, she has been forced to play the guitar, and been punished for not playing well. Look at her expression that face, I can't explain it. I made that face when I was younger and was forced to do chores. Such a bland expression that saddens me to look at. She may not have been punished though, but due to that sad look and the way North Koreans are treated, It is likely she has been.
Her smile @1:30 void your assertion, the face she has before is simply concentration on what she's doing and the mood of the tune!…. can't you see how much she enjoy playing ?...
Forget about NKorea, just watch how perfect this little girl play the guitar, She is BLESSED, See what she does after finished her performance, SHE SALUTE. Simply Amazing, I think that at this time (1/18/11) she must be better guitarrist and a better person, with that discipline. How many hours she spent practicing?. Practice makes perfection. RIGHT?. GOD BLESS Kang Eunju always.
So many jealousy here. I know playing guitar is hard, especially the classical genre, but she would never get this far if she wasn't musically gifted to begin with. Talent + Practice = Perfection. No matter what age.
This must be the result of a successful pedegogical system starting from the kindergarten, because there are many children in NK in these videos who excel musically. Lack of wasteful distractions must help too.
People are just jealous. Asians are a beautiful people. You can't take away their smarts or talent. Little Kang Eunju is a genius. People are blinded by their ignorance. North Koreans are beautiful.
@QUINTUSMAXIMUS ....the pace of her viewing figures says it all...she'll fly past 2 million soon..i keep showing friends and love to see their astonished face...i love it everytime i watch/listen...yeh..she has brought that musical passion into the world with her...from where...i don't know..i'm just glad she has...!
This little girl was born to play the guitar. People can say what they want about how she is able to play so well, the fact remains the little girl has great talent and a rare gift. So I guess we all just sit back and enjoy her play...and thats all that matters :))))
What I have to say is that I listened to this little girl play and although the Guitar is as large as she is, she handled herself well and I enjoyed listening to the music. I am amazed to see such little hands do so much! I do not care where she is from, she is just a Kid and she is great. Period.
I am simply amazed at the control a child this small has on a guitar that is bigger than she is. The neck on a classical-style guitar is usually very much like a 2x4 as well. How those tiny fingers can not only reach, but press down to achieve such polished tone is beyond me. I know how to play classical guitar. It's frickin' brutal, even for a grown-up with regular-sized hands. What an amazing little girl!
For those who think that children like her don't really like to play an instrument. I know a girl whose parents wanted their 5 Y/O to quit taking lessons and playing piano. She begged her parents to let her continue music study even though she was going to start school. School study in Taiwan is so intense her parents thought that music study would place too heavy of a burden on her. This little girl loves what she is doing, you can see the passion in her expression.
Yeah all these comments about how the girls must be forced to play guitar forget that .... child prodigies exist all over the world, and in socialist countries more of them can have the freedom to pursue their dreams because their family's economic situation is taken care of.
I've just started learning to play the guitar and I was complaining about how my hands were too small and were hurting holding down chords. Then my tutor showed me this video.
😂 you must be a virtuous by now?
No matter how good you think you are in something, there's always some korean kid that is better
Asian* lmfao
@@dimwitweed420 Asians, but Koreans, specifically North Koreans.
@@kimberlychu441 all Asians are better,that was ma point. I mean in general.

One of the greatest classical guitar interpretations by anyone. She's just got it.

you can tell how good she feels to have music flowing so freely from her. my 2 year old son loves seeing children play music like this. it really inspires him!

I thought that was cool too. I love listening to all other guitar ensemble of NK children available on UTube.
maravillosa niña tocando musica española. Prodigio de la dedicación y el esfuerzo¡
Simply inspirational. The passion and musical emotion behind her technique is unmistakable. Bravo.
i couldnt even tie my shoes when i was in kindergarten. She's really good.
little angel.......
I hope she stills plays...
Na she's dead
one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen... pure absolutely pure!
Outstanding! I would love to see her Guitar teacher and what method he or she uses. Does anyone have a Video of that?
Spoilers: the method is supreme leader says your child must practice 8 hours a day or your whole family will die.

She should be double this age by now. I wonder if she was ever granted communication to the outside world.
Yeah, goood question. I hope so!
Speechless.
Having seen this I've just put all my guitars and musical related items on ebay.
So, So damn cute and amazingly talented, and love when she smiled !....

Não há palavras para descrever.....o talento dessa garota
she`s so little and play the guitar so good
AMAZING !!! BRAVO KANG EUNJU !!!
Absolutely fantastic, wish I could play my guitar as good as that. Well done.
Me: “There is something that motivates you, something that we Europeans do not feel on a daily basis.”
North Korean: “What would that be?”
Me: “Fear.”
i think they promised to let her parents go if she plays good enough
She is an angel and her notes will take you too heaven and when you arrive at the gates... you dance.
where is she now?
Extremely beautiful and well executed, just remarkable for a child so young. You can actually see where her playing touches her soul by her gratified expressions at certain movements.

This is amazing, such small fingers strumming like this. Love your playing sweetie. Jelous morons should suck it up.

Shes forced to from a very young age against her will. My be skilled but not happy.
JOHN DOE never met her, but do you know what they have to go through in order to be accepted as musicians and have a future?
Wow! Her fretting hand looks like a spider creeping up and down the neck!
Fantastic talent!
