korea got talentThough without Rain's killer abs or Asian pop-star moves, this bushy-haired Korean twentysomething is putting viewers around the globe in tears. Sung-bong Choi has the voice — and a grim Oliver Twist-ian childhood story— to become the next talent sensation. Choi says he lived like a “dayfly,” sleeping on street corners, peddling gum for ten years. A manual laborer by day, Choi has found his way into the hearts of South Koreans by singing Sarah Brightman's “Nella Fantasia” on Korea's Got Talent.

Internet-savvy viewers have discovered that he attended a high school specializing in the performing arts. The network tvN explained that Choi, in fact, had mentioned his training to the judges, but it was edited out to make the story flow better.I just want to give you a hug," said one of the judges with tears in her eyes before thanking him for his "awesome performance" and announcing he was through to the next round. It is believed Choi could follow in the footsteps of Boyle - the Scottish singer whose performance on Britain's Got Talent became an internet sensation. The 50-year-old's voice stunned the judges and public alike and propelled her to fame.
