[Korea's Got Talent] Homeless Boy Sung-bong Choi!!! With An Amazing Voice Singing Opera

[gavinski91]

I had to keep pausing the video and doing other stuff for a couple minutes so that no one would see me cry...

[LilCera]

"I'm not a good singer" try AMAZING! I wanna hug you oppa! :'(<3

[COMPUTERGEEK2717]

his parents that left him in orphanage is going to regret :'(

[Rachelnesmee]

Watching this made me cry because although my story isn't quite like his, he still inspires me.

[FireVortex720]

AUDIENCE FAIL

[mti14]

Setup from beginning to end. "I'm not very good at it, but I figured I would learn an Italian Opera" They just wanted a Korean Susan Boyle, and made one for themselves. I thought honor was important to them?

[FuzzzeProductions]

ohh wait you are like all people! he said: i just want to be like a normal guy !

YOU ARE!

[FuzzzeProductions]

he lived 10 years on street selling gum or energy drink damn look what we got we are even on computers! i wish him the BEST! hopefully he's now in a warm nice house!--

this makes me cry .. ;'(

[Oscarmr80]

I dont know what to say - words are not enough for something wounderful as this. I wish you all the best and thx for making me cry - i feel alive.

Song: 0-40 is Coldplay The Scientist - Instrumental

[ehrustytonkid]

What was the song playing when they were introducing him?

[DMCLatten]

facking 5 assholes wtf why????????? douchebag motherf*

[teuzzo92]

I almost cried like a little bitch...

[hat123ish]

5 ppl are rich assholes.... 289 people have hearts

[deltora125]

5 ppl are jerks, stupid, gay, and have no friends

[Widdekuu91]

@deltora125 So...you're also a jerk, and stupid, for mentioning 'gay' as a negative point?

[adamhudnall]

that was awesome

[Wakapalypze]

Holy shit totally unexpected!:)



[junery06]

silingan ni namo ai!!! buanga... dato mana xa!

[WickedHamBurglar]

If i could sing like this, i'd definitely stop listening to Metal. well..... maybe i'd do some sort of hybrid cross breed of Vivaldi/Lamb of God type stuff

[SapphiraKitten]

I almost broke down at his story, and then lost it when he sang. Perseverance is an amazing thing. This goes to show, that no matter how horrible you think you've got it, and regardless if people tell you your life can't change, and it'll be horrible forever.. you can find solace in the little things, and it's that that can change your outlook and the outlook of others and truely find happiness. Sung-bong Choi, you are an angel who fell from heaven. You'll find it again some day. Good luck.

[sonorin3]

I lost my father to the korea war.But im not upset at the person who shot my father and he died from it years later from the wound.It was the goverments that made all of us on both sides loose our loved ones.RIP dad. Lets pray that this world become more of a loving place rather then hate.

[bigpoppalovesme]

Did he win? He has a beautiful voice. This really touched me heart. I wihs the best for him.

[arbetk]

[TheRiocap]

[auntieSpam]

Part 2 Sara said:

My song was originally an instrumental written by the composer Morricone for The Mission. three years ago I wrote to Mr. Morricone,whether he would give me permission to turn this into a song. He flatly refused. every two months I would send yet another letter, I think he became so sick of me that he finally relented.In the liner notes of Eden, the lyricist was named as "Ferraù". it has been suggested the Italian lyrics of the song were written by Brightman herself

[auntieSpam]

Part 1 - "Nella Fantasia" ("In My Fantasy") is an Italian song based on the theme "Gabriel's Oboe" from the film The Mission (1986). With music by famed composer Ennio Morricone and lyrics by Chiara FerraùNella Fantasia" first appeared on Sarah Brightman's album Eden (1998). A music video for the song was released on brightman's "Diva- The video collection DVD" in 2006 and the song sold 2 million digital copies in South Korea

[xxmonsterteexx]

Those 5 who disliked are spawns of Satan.

[sonorin3]

Your so loved from around the world thumbs up if you love him.

[VhUgGz]

@sonorin3 You're*

[kandibee]

the story seems so staged

[xShiZukAx88]

not only that he has hundreds of cheers. hes got 43,872 people including myself

[vesa202]

He is really amazing.

[bboysparkour]

i started crying :(( 5 people lives over 30 years on streets and didnt accomplish anything

[DiJae6]

It's so sad a lot of you are so jaded. He was being asked these obtrusive questions about his family life...he was not volunteering this info. Look at his reaction when she asked him why his "family" section was left blank...He looked stunned. He does look embarassed and ashamed at points...this is not acting..he barely emits any emotion whatsoever, it breaks my heart....You can see he's had a hard life. Geez, people!

[BloodofPatriots]

@DiJae6 They're making the mistake of looking for a Western reaction from an East Asian. They are by nature very private people. His look of shock is clear to anyone who's known East Asians. The questions were rude, but, unfortunately, necessary to explain how he sings with such soul.

[godspeed102012]

This is just manipulating human emotion..! Talent is there no doubt..! But when talent is mixed with a story like this it makes people vulnerable and too gullible in believing that the talent is divine and extraordinary..! May be the story too has some truth in it but it may not be completely true..! I always believe in one thing, "Half truths are extremely dangerous compared to white lies..!" Half-truths are more convincing than the absolute truth or a total lie.

[10333333B]

This is one of the most remarkable stories I have ever seen in my nearly 79 years on this planet. This young man clearly was not acting. He was telling us about an amazing life which is not only improbable but absolutely miraculous! And he spoke in a manner which can only be perceived as humble, and even somewhat embarrassed about his early life. No, he is real, not an actor. He is the next Placido Domingo.

Bill St. James

[jaonginii]

Many here say that he is an actor and that's all fake?

How is it possible to have researched his background as CNN and many other major TV channels and found that this is true ...... Do not talk nonsense ....

[darkamascara]

greatest voice ever they should make a movie about him BRO u gotta win

[Snoopa90]

i wanna see some proof... first the guy with the golden voice (WHICH WAS THE GUY WASN'T REALLY THE TYPE OF GUY HE CLAIM HE WAS). now this...? guy has an extremely good voice. just don't see him trying to win hearts over with the story. i will not have my emotions taken advantage of again

[TheXboxNutjob]

Anyone know what the song from 0:00 - 0:40 is?

Amazing video.

~Olly

[PianomanMNL]

@TheXboxNutjob It's Coldplay's Scientist

[TheXboxNutjob]

@PianomanMNL Thank you very much! :-)

[billdsafdsad]

does anybody know the song playing in the background throughout most of the video?

[undercover0413]

kalloused lol how the hell do you know???

[kalloused]

@undercover0413 @mirza83 1:I'm from Korea(Dad worked for the U.S Embassy) So I know all about this show from all my friends back home and 2: They did an investigative report on it on one of the local news channels here in America(I don't know the exact source for it but if I find it I'll post it) but I have no reason to make this up, he's a child actor and lipsynching, they do it for ratings and it works too!

[kalloused]

@undercover0413 @mirza83 when they found his name and tried to contact him he had been listed with a chld talent agency since he was like 6 years old. He was never homeless and he is an actor, he can't even sing.

[TheVlaxx]

@kalloused don't believe you heh....but I do think that you are lying about a lot of stuff...i won't count them because even you know it, even if that is true what you say, people won't believe it because they like his singing :D...and i don't think this is fake but ok :), everyone has their opinion

[melowjones]

@TheVlaxx you should really process every thing there saying...how could this kid get a ged if hes been homeless since the age of 6. he said that the first school he went to is high schooll.how could he even make it that far if he has been homeless since 6 no parents or reliable source to educate him this was FAKE

[kalloused]

Turns out this kid was a hired child actor to play this dramatic part. The story and even the singing was completely fake all for ratings. Korea got Talent does that with alot of their child singers, they are fake and lipsynching

[mirza83]

@kalloused ???

[spynlcolmn]

I am so moved by the first woman's sweet, tender, and compassionate voice, in which she spoke to him. Even as a former Marine and police officer, when she wept, I wept for him. May our God pursue Sung Choi and continue to bless him in many wonderful ways. Compared to us Americans, the Korean people are so stoic in their response to Sung, but I know they must love him in their hearts. Thanks so so much for sharing this clip. Ole Johnny B.

[huyked]

Wow. That created two streams of tears. What a story. What a voice and song. Thank you.

[boybad3p]

..........OH shit I just realize...."Hes the reincarnation of PAVAROTTI!!!"

[tvu86]

@boybad3p brilliant! Pavarotti would be proud I think.

[bagies]

Sometimes, just sometimes, a beautiful rose can grow out of concrete.

Sung-bong-choi is proof, I wish him all the good fortune in the world.

[wannababrit]

I have never spoken for my country, but this young man is an inspiration to the world. May it embrace him as his parents never have, and give him what he truly needs. Sung-bong Choi - you are brilliant and beautiful from within. May your star power never burn out. I give you 5 for this performance.

[pepperonibill]

Make way for the newest BEST tenor I've EVER heard! Despite his very humble and sad beginnings, this young gentlemen was given a gift by God that will rank him with Andrea Bocelli, Il Divo, and the rest of the best! He not only gave me goose bumps but made me, a 56 year old man, cry with his exceptional voice! I thought I was listening to an actual recording. If he cuts his first CD, I'll be the first in line to buy it! Wishing him all the best! BRAVISIMO!

[josh1josh1josh1]

@pepperonibill you went wrong when you said this was a gift given by god. nice try though

[kcponte]

OMG, what an awesome performance. Although I did not understand the language his voice brought tears to my eyes. Not only does he have a beautiful voice he is one of the most humble people I have ever seen on a telent show. God Bless you Sung-bong Choi may your dreams come true. I know you have Korea behind you and you should never have to sleep on the streets again.

[MusiNica]

Thumbs up if you cried T_T

[RavenHairedMaiden]

I cried within the first minute... Just so bittersweet this story. I dearly hope he does well.

[MaroonEldorBG]

-admires- nothing more to say.. :,) snif

[basquat76]

Watch this without getting a tear in your eye. I dare you.

[MosDopeBoy]

@basquat76 I did and I disliked the video afterwards #SWAG

[KSMSDRPEPPER]

Thanks for posting the lyrics!!

[Juliana51436]

He never was alone, God were whit him, :(, and now will have billions of people loveing to him. here never was alone... and will not be alone never :( . God gave it talent for show to him the miracle of the humanity will to be whit him, some such like the humanity that he dream. God bless you Sung bong

[Saejima88]

An amazing voice for an amazing boy !!

[ssm3sko]

I hope God will help you, you're awesome !!!!!!

[1MrTalented1]

Lets not just wish him well, lets all make sure this man received the home and comfort he needs.

[bafri1989]

OMG I just cried after seeing this video! Really touching!

[MsMakkapakka]

If Sung-bong's story is true I'd class him as a genius. Where did he learn Italian so well...

[TheNorsemanian]

I like the way you sing . You can improve it more I believe in you. You have the gift that no one can rub it it's natural in you . Good luck Choi and God bless you from now on.



[archmark01]

very humble.....

[tooteyfrootey]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

[glass123able]

very toching!!

[Indi810]

he is great and very powerful, anything may happen in life but we  can be better then we were.....i wanna cry

[LOVELIFE54]

Sung-bong Choi ... God Bless You !

[mike101486]

KOREA could make a movie based from his real life story.Very touching, heart-breaking, and inspiring. This is the real talent that needs to be shared. I'm sure, that his parents will regret of putting him in the orphanage with his early age, if they will know that this is their son. I kept on crying while seeing this video. He never make this competition as hindrance to his dreams in spite of his status right now. I'm a FILIPINO, & I'm so much proud of you Sung-bong Choi.

-Fiona Sanchez

[SteIIaBianca]

La storia è commuovente, mi ha fatto persino bagnare gli occhi!! Anche se lui non fosse il miglior cantante del mondo chiunque vorrebbe vederlo vincere

[MissSovietBones]

The song is Nella Fantasia! :)

[MyEdboy]

go-go-go Sung-bong,you are excellent.

[arjyn]

PozS3wcR4WU

a me sembra la stessa voce

[Ardshealz]

@arjyn Ma non senti la differenza d'accento? E poi perdonami ma la voce è diversa, e nemmeno poco...

[jujo14]

YOU MUST WIN!

[thenComestheSunny]

[mp4mpc]

Fatty sung we love u, we will have u capture n sing the national anthem from your die hard fans of the North!

[cOLD1901]

Ma cosa sarebbe questa porcheria?

Ma questo canta bene secondo voi??

[Nagio91]

@cOLD1901 Dai non canta così male, è bravino. Però non so se la storia è vera, non ci credo più di tanto.

[renotavella]

@cOLD1901: porta rispetto per le persone, per i loro sogni e le loro passioni... ha emozionato un sacco di gente: tu ci sei mai riuscito?

[benxoony]

Super super super.... dammit boy!!

[zolta888]

Grande!!!

[wuwazz0]

la più grande bufala televisiva della storia

[mfelici]

@wuwazz0 Che cosa intendi?

[gikcp34]

@wuwazz0, bah si vede che sei miope. Comunque si vede dai suoi comportamenti e nel modo di vestire che è rimasto solo. Per un coreano che non può permettersi gli studi cantare così in italiano non è niente male, prova te a cantare in coreano!!!

[super120676]

im ashame for my self when i saw this video..for me your a winner already not in kind,not in cash but by working hard to live and fight life as good korean citizen......may your story be an inspiration to those people who are lazy and easy going to thier life....bravo korean people......

[mightydaks08]

I hope he'll win!
