I'm already crying and i'm only 1:28 in...oh god.

[okami-kaoru.livejournal.com]

ikr, this vid is a real killer.

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

lol. In any case I'm glad Sung Bong is getting international attention. I definitely feel he'll be able to have a better life now. He only has to get the attention of that one kind heart who is in a place to help him, and his life should improve. I really hope he can live a life making money off of something he enjoys.

ia.
one of the things i love about him is that he doesn't use what happened in his life as an instant road to fame because he's that one kid who had to take care of himself. i'm glad that you can definitely tell he's in it for music and to do what sort of helped him get through life.

Anything Korean=Kpop I guess

[rabu-parade.livejournal.com]

I don't know how people can just leave their friend requests like that. I get all excited everytime I get one.

[xshinebrighterx.livejournal.com]

[crypticbluerose.livejournal.com]

holy smokes that guy's voice is unreal ^o^

no1currr

[woomyyoungheart.livejournal.com]

lol. joy.
it's sooooooo great that the biebz has blessed sungbong.

[xshinebrighterx.livejournal.com]

I must have no heart because the whole thing seems really fake to me. Not saying it's his fault, but I feel like the production just set up the whole story to be super touching and have that sympathy factor that all shows of this style usually have, and it just made it awkward to watch for me.
Not denying his talent or saying he is lying, but yeah

[nortonamo.livejournal.com]

Ngl I think some of this story is fabricated.

[nortonamo.livejournal.com]

Perez Hilton is such a joke. He is still relevant.

Anyways like someone above, I'm glad this guy is getting intl recognition.

[nortonamo.livejournal.com]

There was supposed to be a, "how," in front of 'he is..'

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

i can watch this video time after time & i still get chills every single time & i cry like a baby -.-

[woomyyoungheart.livejournal.com]

It's odd, I didn't cry at all or get chills from his singing... And that's strange 'cause I cry over the most simplest things, ever. Weird. But I respect Sungbong.

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

What I like most about him getting all this attention is that he can now have a better life and mostly importantly, he can help others in his situation.

I feel or rather, I hope that he won't forget the 'little people' because he was there and he feels a deeper empathy for them.

I also hope he doesn't get bombarded by gold diggers/scrapes tbh

[x-doctess.livejournal.com]

Everyone and their mother have shared that video on Facebook.

[kiwilovekiwi.livejournal.com]

Choi Sung Bong is older than you Bieber! How dare you call him a kid!!>=|

[inudela.livejournal.com]

[icedfaerie1.livejournal.com]

[xkeirafanx.livejournal.com]

Still disliking Bieber for spreading his anti-homosexual comments.

[soldierheart.livejournal.com]

ugh, now i'm curious. what anti-homosexual comments?

[tofucakes.livejournal.com]

can perez hilton just go away please

[woomyyoungheart.livejournal.com]

yeeeees.

[amberr21.livejournal.com]

He's promoting this guy by using a phrase from one of his own songs/documentary title.
Stay classy, Biebz.
Sigh.

[deeinanutshell.livejournal.com]

lol ikr? I legit chuckled when I read that. Heh.

[chomper-go-rawr.livejournal.com]

OMG :') HE'S AMAZING

[chomper-go-rawr.livejournal.com]

can't really say the same for bieber and hilton tho T.T

[lasthenia.livejournal.com]

Why is Bieber calling him "kid"? Didn't he say he's 22? :|

[soldierheart.livejournal.com]

my foster brother linked this over facebook too and he works with major artists as well. it's a great chance for korean music in general to get some spotlight! :)

[itsanthonybitch.livejournal.com]

How exactly is he promoting kpop? It's the new ~inspiring~ video of a talent show contestant that is unexpectedly talented, sort of like Susan Boyle 2. Just because it's a korean contestant doesn't mean he's promoting kpop...

[freezing-flames.livejournal.com]

aww his italian pronounciation is cute

[annhh.livejournal.com]

KPOP+BIEBER?

goodness. gave me a fright

[rainbowfactory.livejournal.com]

I was just like LOL BIEBZ THIS GUY IS YOUR HYUNG WAE YOU CALLING HIM A KID.

[killclosedrown.livejournal.com]

Today I learned that any song sung by a Korean person = kpop.
