YANG JOON-IL MAYBE : Password of...

Ice cream, Yang Joon-il (JIY) 양준일

*This special edition includes chapter-by-chapter recording of the book read by the author in both English and Korean.

The storyteller Yang Joon-il brings alive his stories and emotion that used to be delivered via his music and dance, or as he puts it, his whole body!

『Yang Joon-il MAYBE_ Password of You and I』 is the first book released by Korean singer Yang Joon-il, also known as JIY, who returned to the stage thanks to the calls from fans after 19 years. In this audio, JIY unfolds his life story in a poem-like short and thoughtful composition, to share with the world his deep thoughts and episodes that could make him fundamentally positive toward the world and himself: overcoming frustration and hurt from the past as an immigrant child in the United States who just loved dancing and singing; as a performing artist beset with bad luck, unable to fully manifest talent due to the prejudices in the South Korean society in early 1990s; and as a father who struggled to provide for his family through different physical labour working as a restaurant server and cleaner.

Loneliness and love, truth, forgiveness, happiness, peace, eternity ... The 'thoughts' that Yang Joon-il shares in this book are not the words of the sage or proverbs. Whenever the pain of life weighed on him, he says he thought 'Maybe this is not everything there is to it'. The title of this audio is also taken from that statement.
For him, 'MAYBE' is a word with 'hope' that can be subversive. The repeated frustrations and failures, Yang Joon-il could overcome with the teachings from several spiritual and philosophical leaders. Those words became a part of him throughout his life, and the truth and sincerity with which he digested them slowly have now created his own words that are easy and can be understood by everyone.

About the authors:
Yang Joon-il (JIY) - Called back to the life on stage by fellow singers and his loyal fans, he recently resumed his singing and dancing career after 19 years. This book is now out for the whole world so he can share the thoughts that have helped him overcome difficult times.
Ice Cream - After graduating from college, worked for magazines. Yang Jun Il's old friend.

Britain changed fundamentally during the Queen’s long, distinguished reign. So who made modern Britain the country it is today? How do we sum up the kind of people we are? What did it mean to be the new Elizabethans?
In this wonderfully told history, spanning back to when Queen Elizabeth became queen in 1953, Andrew Marr traces the people who have made Britain the country it is today. From the activists to the artists, the sports heroes to the innovators, these people pushed us forward, changed the conversation, encouraged us to eat better, to sing, think and to protest. They got things done. How will our generation be remembered in a hundred years’ time? And when you look back at Britain’s toughest moments in the past seventy years, what do you learn about its people and its values?
In brilliantly entertaining style and with unexpected insights into some of our sung and unsung heroes, this is our story as Elizabethans – the story of how 1950s Britain evolved into the diverse country we live in today. In short, it is the history of modern Britain.
