Sung-bong Choi : South Korea’s Susan Boyle

Sung-bong Choi : South Korea's Susan Boyle

Singer Sung-bong Choi (aka SuBo) is being billed as South Korea’s Susan Boyle. His performance and story on Korea’s Got Talent went viral this week and has been seen millions of times this week around the world. He sang the Italian opera “Nella Fantasia” in a voice you would never have thought he had. Although 22-year-old has an incredible voice, he’s had a hard knock life. SuBo was abandoned when he was three, then ran away from his orphanage when he was five, and lived on the streets for the next ten years selling chewing gum and energy drinks. His housing consisted of stairs and public restrooms.

Watch this emotional video stirring up interest around the world. SuBo has garnered tons of fans globally and even has a facebook fan page.

Last year, Lin Yu Chun went viral as the Asian Kid that sings like Whitney Houston. He later made appearance on Ellen and sang a duet with William Shatner.

Last week, Jin released his latest English track “Shoot For the Moon.” This week he dropped the music video, which is directed by his manager Carl Choi. The 29 year old rapper’s life is flashes across the screen in about 4 and a half minutes.

Although his career had a lot of ups and downs early on, it’s really taken off the past few years in Hong Kong with endorsement deals, TV and film appearances, and more. It’s a great video and song for fans of Jin. Relive his 10 year music career and shoot for the moon. You can get this inspirational song on Shoot for the Moon - Single - Jin.

Lyrics to Shoot For the Moon by Jin

Make sure you shoot for the moon
(Make sure you shoot for the moon)
So you can land on the stars
(So you can land on the stars)

And they gon’ know who you are
(And they gon’ know who you are)
And they gon’ know who you are
(And they gon’ know who you are)

Make sure you shoot for the moon
(Make sure you shoot for the moon)
So you can land on the stars
(So you can land on the stars)

And they gon’ know who you are
(And they gon’ know who you are)
And they gon’ know who you are
(And they gon’ know who you are)

Listen up boys and girls once upon a time
Lived a Chinese kid they told him he couldn’t rhyme
There was only one thing that was steady on his mind
That’s to try and get signed so he got heavy on his grind
Sharpened up his skills machete’d every line
Put 110% into it everytime
Made it to the finals but never obtained a ring
If he could go back he wouldn’t change a thing
Seen the ups and downs not nervous don’t regret it
Cause when you’re flying high turbulence is expected
Why continue? only he knows the real reason
10 years in the game and guess what he’s still breathin’
You may think otherwise some say he’s a success
Either way he just knows overall that he’s been blessed
Who’s the Chinese kid you already might have guessed
They say you live and you learn time to put it to the test

Make sure you shoot for the moon
(Make sure you shoot for the moon)
So you can land on the stars
(So you can land on the stars)

And they gon’ know who you are
(And they gon’ know who you are)
And they gon’ know who you are
(And they gon’ know who you are)

Make sure you shoot for the moon
(Make sure you shoot for the moon)
So you can land on the stars
(So you can land on the stars)

And they gon’ know who you are
(And they gon’ know who you are)
And they gon’ know who you are
(And they gon’ know who you are)

I know you got dreams that you been chasing for a long time
You been waiting but it starts to feel like such a long line
Before you know it it becomes a love hate relationship
Only just a few things that you can be so patient with “
I can relate to it all I gotta say is have faith with it
Before homeplate you gotta hit first base with it
An opportunity is only what you make of it
Your birthday only comes once a year so have your cake with it
Other than that don’t try to steal an extra slice
It ain’t a million bucks but I offer you this advice
Don’t ever take a handout why would you when you can stand out
If you can t build a sand castle start with a sand house
Work your way up from the bottom to the top
You’ll never get there only if you stop
All I’m tryin to do now is give them
Somethin’ they can feel
Malik said it best “they can’t deny it when it’s real”

Make sure you shoot for the moon
(Make sure you shoot for the moon)
So you can land on the stars
(So you can land on the stars)

And they gon’ know who you are
(And they gon’ know who you are)
And they gon’ know who you are
(And they gon’ know who you are)

Make sure you shoot for the moon
(Make sure you shoot for the moon)
So you can land on the stars
(So you can land on the stars)

And they gon’ know who you are
(And they gon’ know who you are)
And they gon’ know who you are
(And they gon’ know who you are)

Make sure you shoot for the moon
(Make sure you shoot for the moon)
So you can land on the stars
(So you can land on the stars)

And they gon’ know who you are
(And they gon’ know who you are)
And they gon’ know who you are
(And they gon’ know who you are)
