Kim emphasizes the instantaneous, ephemeral nature of music-making, which demands looking at familiar scores with fresh eyes. "History is one thing, but music-making is actually always for now, for us, for the moment. Music is an ephemeral art. I am aware of our history, but when I focus on the score, I just focus on how I can do it better for today." (Source: WFMT)
