I don't disagree. I think the Baba Yaga was too much. I'm sure there are other movements in the larger work that he makes special, but this particular movement is not my cup of tea in his hands (at least in this video). Part of it could be the quality of the recording, but I don't think that's it. There are different levers to pull to make music exciting other than speed and volume. It's a careful balance.

That's what interpretations are called. You certainly don't want to listen to cookie cutter works of the composition, bec it'd be quite boring to play by the textbook. Yunchan is quite known to add his personal touches in not just that piece, but mostly all the works he plays.
