Over The Top Episode #003 with Classical Guitarist & Medical Research Scientist, Kang Min Shin
<p> Kang Min Shin started learning classical guitar at a young age and participated in a national youth guitar competition in Korea. Despite low expectations, he tied for first place with a competitor who aspired to be a professional classical guitarist. This remarkable result motivated Kang Min to continue practicing and pursuing a career in music. Kang Min Shin talks about how he unexpectedly received attention from classical guitar teachers in Korea who wanted him to join a musical conservatory. However, he had to decide between pursuing music or academics, as the education system in Korea required him to specialize at a young age.
