On December 31, Hollywood star 
Ashton Kutcher and U.S. R&B singer Eric Benet expressed their amazement at Park Ji Min, a contestant from SBS’ new audition show, “K-Pop Star.” Park Ji Min’s cover performance of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” has earned her the #1 spot in her group last week.



Ashton Kutchefirst tweeted, “this is AMAZING!!!!” with the link to a video of Park Ji Min’s cover performance here. He didn’t write anything else about the video but with nearly 9 million Twitter followers, it definitely helped Park Ji Min and “K-Pop Star” reach a wider global audience.



Moments later Eric Benet tweeted in Korean, “Korea has some crazy talent!” with the link to the same video of Park Ji Min. It appears Eric Benet used the Google Translator to tweet in Korean, showing his admiration for the Korean amateur singer. He even left several tweets apologizing for his poor Korean grammar later.

For those you haven't see it, here's the perf'


You go girl

Finally get to see this -- she's pretty amazing especially for her age.
Also from Daejeon? I wonder if any of my friends taught her >.>

YES YES YES PARK JIMIN IS AMAZING. I have been listening to this cover on repeat for days now. And she's only 14/15 now, imagine how much better she'll be when she's older. *___*

Hehe, that was cute of Eric Benet to tweet in Korean.

This girl is talented no doubt, but to me she's not really that AMAZING vocally. I think a lot of people are just surprised at her crystal clear pronunciation/lack of an accent while singing in English.

or maybe because she's only 14, she has a lot to improve but it's clear that she will.

Well, it's not like the song is sth that can be belted out. I think she captured the emotions quite well and made some changes to make it her own... even though she doesn't have Adele's lovely rasp. It was a pretty good rendition :)

I mean her lack of accent is nothing short of incredible, but she's not that amazing, even for a 14 year old... maybe by idol standards.

Onew is sadly hidden somewhere practicing "rolling in the deep" so he can receive Benet's compliments too.

The girl is really good! and lmao JYP's expressions.

Here's a couple of other auditions, for those who are curious about other auditions but are too lazy to watch the show. The talent in this show is amazing. There's a ton I didn't get to include; these are just my personal faves. Lee Michelle, Cassie Young, Park Jimin, Ahyeon, (who ranked higher iirc) etc, etc are also all amazing.

Park Jaehyung, amazing cover of Frank Ocean

Kim Woosung, ajdkfakfaksdf voice

Lee Hai. Also in middle school I think, plus her voice is AMAZING. Bust Your Windows cover

Son Mijin, awesome jazzy voice + she looks like a hamster

And here's Lee Gunwoo, the most adorable thing to ever adorable. Plus he sounds like Onew!

thank you for sharing this!! Where can I watch this show??

SO in love with Kim Woosung's voice!! It's such a shame though b/c we saw who he is/where he could go with his talent compared to where he would most likely go if he won this show (dancing).

Girl definitely has talent, especially for her age, but the chorus lacked the OOMPH that I was waiting for, what with all the amazement surrounding the performance. Give her a few more years though, and I'm sure she'll be great.

I also think Lee Hai would've done a nice rendition of this song too.
