Korea's Got Talent: Sung-bong Choi

It seems like every talent show these days has at least one story that captivates everyone's attention. This time it is Sung-bong Choi on Korea's Got Talent. Sung-bong says he was left in an orphanage at age 3. When he was 5 he ran away because he was being beaten by people at the orphanage. He sold gum or energy drinks on the street for the next 10 years to survive. He got his GED for elementary and middle school. Then he went to high school.

When I was watching I was wondering how he would sound because he said "I'm not a good singer". Then he opened his mouth and it was great! He sang Sarah Brightman's “Nella Fantasia”. He made people cry with his performance.

Video from the Korea's Got Talent YouTube:



UPDATE JULY 2011: He made it to the Top 40 acts!!
UPDATE AUG 2011: He won 2nd place in the competition.
