The Autistic Twin Brothers Turned Professional Musicians, Im Seon-gyun & Im Je-gyun (Male, Flutist & Trumpeter, Developmental Disabilities)


In 1996, twin boys were born. Their mother took them to various therapy sessions to treat their autism. During this process, she discovered their musical talents by chance and nurtured Seon-gyun in flute playing and Je-gyun in trumpet playing, raising them as musicians.
Both twins majored in music in college, became members of the Heart To Heart Orchestra, and now are employed through the system of the support for artists with disabilities, earning a modest salary.
In addition to their musical performances, they also lecture in front of many people to raise awareness of people with disabilities. Both of them have a total of 35 qualifications, are highly talented, and continuously take on challenges.
