Classic Maestro gets a special limited edition run

Beethoven Virus‘s Kim Myung-min‘s classical-music compilation album, Classic Maestro, has met with such success that another pressing is in the works, this time as a limited edition as a particular keepsake for fans.

Only 200 of these special-edition CDs will be released, each coming with Kim’s autograph and labeled with its own unique number. Because of the small number of albums that will be made available, a management rep explained that they are currently deciding how to distribute them, such as via internet lotteries, applications, and other methods.

It was explained that one of the immediate reasons for deciding to go with this special edition album was the January 3 fan-signing event, when they were surprised at the unexpected crowds, well exceeding their anticipated attendance (they’d planned for 200, and more than a thousand showed up, some of whom camped out overnight). There were requests for an additional fan-signing event, and the album was proposed as a suitable alternative.

not sure how this is a "suitable alternative" as there will only be 200 available. those 200 who already got their CDs signed have a chance to pick up this limited edition, which would leave the 800+ fans even more disgruntled than they are now. :P

How about auctioning some of them for charity? I'm sure there would be some kind of response to that.

I absolutely LOVE Kim Myung Min. He's an amazing actor, and deserves the resognition he has earned. Because I live in the US, I wonder how American citizens can get a chance to win. And I agree with Kellie, please keep us posted with Kim Myung Min and his upcoming movie!

I forgot to ask one thing & please if anyone knows the answer I would appreciate it -- in the last epis (16 or 17?) the title and singer of that wonderful song by a female when Maestro Kang did their last performance? It's a beautiful song & that female vocalist is just superb! I'd appreciate if anyone here can give me a clue, perhaps Javabeans may know? Thanks in advance! I just love Beethoven Virus that I believe the virus truly got into me! (smile/laugh/)

I wish I lived in Korea....
I LOVE Kim Myung Min!!!!
I'm like a super obssessed fan....^^;
Anyhow, if sang hee is still around (I really doubt it), the song is called Wild Goose's Dream sung by In Soon Yi.
(If you can read/ understand Korean, it's 거위의 꿈 by 인순이.)
