Kim Mikyung, known as Korea's first piano docent and a pianist, is currently also the CEO of Jeju Culture Planning.

She serves as the piano docent at the World Automobile & Piano Museum, which has a 300-year history, and hosts explanatory music concerts featuring the unique stories of pianos cherished by great musicians, including the world's only rare piano sculpted by the world-renowned sculptor Auguste Rodin.

The Dongmyung University classical music breakfast forum began on May 14 and will continue with lectures every other Tuesday until November 26. The next forum, scheduled for July 9, will feature Yoo Jungwoo, a classical music columnist well known for KBS Masterpiece Scandal and a thoracic surgeon, who will give a lecture on "1791, Mozart's Final Days."
