A South Korean toddler has become a worldwide Internet sensation after his parents posted a video of him performing the Beatles' hit song "Hey Jude" when he was three years old.

Now, 4-year-old Ha Youngwoong, which means 'Hero' in English, is a star on the Internet and has attracted over 4.5 million viewers who have clicked on the video clip named "Youngest Baby Beatles in Diaper" on the video website Youtube

In the video Hero is seen performing his favourite song on his parent's couch, holding a guitar and wearing diapers.

Despite the guitar being oversized for his small hands, the Beatles fan was a huge hit with viewers all around the world.

"Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon and Ringo Starr. And then Youngwoong. Total five," said Hero when he was asked to name the Beatles members.

Hero's parent said they did not help him to learn the songs and despite not being taught English nor music, he is able to sing all the songs without skipping a word or note.

Hero's father's business website plays some Beatles songs and that is when Hero was introduced to the band and started to memorise and perform the songs by ear. Two months later he was able to sing the entire first Beatles album "1".

As a non-English speaker, he has difficulty distinguishing "R" and "L", but for his fans it makes his renditions even cuter.

Despite the small pronunciation difficulties, he now can sing almost every Beatles song and about 20 other old pop songs, his parent say, and he aspires to one day sing before large audiences.

"I want to travel all around the world to perform like the Beatles. Please come and see me. Wink!" said Hero. Hero's parent hope to see their child's potential as an artist expand with the help of a good teacher who will be able to develop his talents.

"I want my son to find a teacher who can open a decent path for his life and give him chances," says Hero's mother Seo Ji-na.

Hero has made mainstream television appearances and was introduced as a pop-song and language prodigy. He is hoping to make history as the youngest Beatle and to transform his Youtube fame into something even better, performing his talent live to the world just like his favorite band, the Beatles.
