Homeless Boy Steals The Talent Show
by Mary Writer on Monday, June 13th, 2011 | 83 Comments
You cannot help but be deeply touched by this amazing young man; Sung-bong Choi.
When Sung-bong decided to sing on the Talent Show Korea’s Got Talent he had no idea that he would win the hearts of millions all over the world!
The story of his childhood is so moving that even the judges had a hard time keeping their composure.
He told the judges that even though he didn’t think he could sing very well, he sang because it made him happy.
They couldn’t have been more surprised. He is a true inspiration to the endurance of the heart.
what agreat humble God given Talent God will do his work where its needed most
omg u stupid little drones. why are you attributing this boys talent to the work of a fantasy being? i never know whether to laugh or cry when people still even mention ‘God’
Read the ‘God Delusion’ and WAKE UP!!!!
Dear Enlightened one. We will pray for you. One day every tongue will confess he is God. I find it interesting you use the initials omg. What does this stand for? You really do believe don’t you? Come to him in humility and he will show you the truth.

Well said my friend, well said!
Only the wise will understand the manifestations of the Lord God .Hallelujah!
i feel very sad for you, that you don’t believe,i cannot imagine my without God,he’s always there for me.we all need to believe because at the end of your life,you ‘ll have no one to welcome you. worst to say’ you are the stupid one. What are doing on this site if you don’t believe?
hehe, laughing seems to be the overriding reaction.
you have absolutely no idea what happens after u die. larry, uv never met god, so how u think u can go to him in humility is ridiculous.
Lil, god has never been there for you. your mind is so convinced through indoctrination as a child that he exists so that religious leaders and, for example, televangelists can steal your money and use you.
Lil says
“we all need to believe because at the end of your life, you ‘ll have no one to welcome you. worst to say’ you are the stupid one”
what? we all need to believe just in case? because, as i assume you have never died, you have no idea what happens at the end of you life. i like to think that i will return to the state i was in for billions of years before i was born.
Worst to say, religion blinds you, tells you not to ask questions. it is the very nature of it. islam, judaism christianity. Their basic code is, do not ask questions, serve willingly, and you will be rewarded (after death of course, where no one knows what happens and when you cant come complaining after you figure out you’ve been swindled because, ofc, ur dead) Actually its a genious plan, but does require some amount of gullibility.
and im here becasue i wanted to see a homeless boy steal a talent show.
But i thought maybe freeing a few people from the lies, deceit and control that have obviously been wrapped so tightly round your minds as children, would maybe help mankind take one more step to being an intelligent species as a whole, not just in part.
Man cannot make nor destroy energy. Man can only use or save energy. All matters are made from energy.
Logicaly, there is a being way above man’s intelligent that has made our universe that we know of. This is the being we all refer to as God the Almighty. It is ok if the enlightened person does not believe in God because the enlightened person is using his or her emotion not logic.
“All matters are made from energy.
Logicaly, there is a being way above man’s intelligent that has made our universe that we know of.”
No. matter is made up of mass. Energy is the capacity for which mass can cause effect. And either way, every sane person know that your statement is far far from logical.
How can the mere existence of mass and energy constitute there being some intelligent being that made it all?
leaving that one answer,… that a god did it?
Wouldn’t you consider it quite naive to think so? And to some extent downright ignorant of the scientific facts that we are presented with in todays modern society?
What or who created mass in the first place ?
So very sorry for the “Enlightened” person who is so dim he can not accept GOD. HE has many faces to reach all of His children. i like to think i am one of them. this Korean child is surely one of His chosen..we will pray for your true enlightment…
“Dim for not accepting God”, “He has many faces” !!???
Are you seriously THAT dumb that you think hiding behind silly little proverbs and non-sensical statements will make you seem rational and ultimately right?
Think about it. Starving children in africa, Whole communities riddled with AIDS. Torture, rape, murder, genocide….all of it going on around the
world…..and YOU think that God has decided that..
“you know what…..im done with all this raping, plagueing, mass murdering and war,…today im going to make a korean kid with a lovely voice. Then tomorrow, im going to go back to killing all those innocent little african babies. I might use malaria. Never let me down. Or maybe cholera..hmmmm decisions decisions.”
If that really is the case, you can go live with that f****r after uv died for all i care. If you can’t wake up, or downright refuse too, then in the grand scheme of things, your just a bunch of silly little, weak-willed, mindless drones ultimately being controlled and furthering someone else’s gain. I am very glad i am not one of you.
Enlightened, looks like you listed some of the circumstances we live in correctly: Starvation, disease, injustice, rape, murder, death, etc. In respect, who do you think is responsible for all those events? I’d like to hear your point of view. Also, you spoke of the ability to be “ultimately right” in response to Carol’s post. Do you think there is an absolute truth where one could be ultimately right?
Respectfully,
-Josh
My friend, you are trying to hard, these people are already lost, hopefully, religion will die off eventually, that is my hope, stupidity and religion are diseases that we are starting to cure as mankind, I wish you luck.
you are obviously blinded by demons! We are praying for your true enlightenment
ok. seeing as people on this site are so simple. I shall put my point into pictures. Please, please look at this. Maybe it will drive the point home for some of you.

Hey man, I am a Christian and trust me, I have asked questions of all the things you have pointed out, but I do believe there are solid answers. Christianity does not discourage questions as you said in a different post. Yes, I’m sure there are some churches or groups that discourage questions, but it is NOT intrinsic. Please don’t group all Christians together as simple and stupid. I would suggest reading Tim Keller’s “Reason for God” or C.S. Lewis’ “Mere Christianity” (Lewis’ book especially is NOT simple). It’ll be good food for thought for you.
It’s completely fine with me that you don’t believe in God. You’re entitled to your belief, and I respect that. I happen to be a Christian, though, and insulting other people’s faith is ignorant and rude. Just because you don’t believe doesn’t mean all of us can’t believe. I’m not calling you simple and dumb because you’re an atheist, so what gives you the right to call me dumb for owning my belief? It’s not fair. Learn to accept other beliefs and opinions and WAKE UP! What you’re accomplishing is spreading more hatred, which is pathetic on a video like this. Just shut up and enjoy this blessed boy’s voice!
What a wonderful young man!
what a wonderful voice???? I also cried when I heard his voice…He really got the talent…He is not alone during those days,I guess… God give him this wonderful voice ,being at his side always to inspire him what he will do for his life…….Keep it up! you’re one step forward going to the top of the world….
Amazing how Sung-bong was able to self-develop his natural talent. It really confirms that our creator design every human being, putting everything necessary for him to be successful. He even sees to it that circumstances conspires to open doors of opportunities so those natural qualities will be exposed. Now, it’s really up to Sung-bong and the well-meaning people who will be surrounding him to develop his gifts so he can make a difference in many other people’s lives thus making our world a better place.
Music is a universal language-we don’t need to understand the words-emotions made tears to flow -i have it on my face book for others to enjoy God’s miracle-Love and Light .
The young man has is future under control-wish him success.

This chap Sung-bong just works on youre spine,amazing singer once again,I bet he recieved help from God !what ever but it was amazing!!
It was really wonderful to hear the young boy.
The tone of the song was very touchy .Can someone please explain the meaning of song in english.
It’s a song about peace. I don’t remember the exact lyrics but the general meaning is along the lines of “In my fantasy I dream of peace and harmony. No killing, war, hatred, or discrimination.” I hope that helps.
Thank God for someone is ready to make him happy from now on. May God continue bless him and those who bring joy in his life.
What a magnificant voice and person. I hope all will go really well for him. He is a reminder of the Little Drummer Boy who only could give his most precious gift. Sung-bong gave his voice so other other people could feel happy.
Thank you for showing this video for the world to enjoy.
God Bless you Sung-bong.
He was singing Nell Fantasia and Italian Opera, here
are the lyrics in English.
In my fantasy I see a fair world,
Where everyone lives in peace and honesty.
I dream of a place to live that is always free,
Like a cloud that floats,
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.
In my fantasy I see a bright world.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Liike the cloud that floats.
In my fantasy exists a warm wind,
that breathes into the city, like a friend.
I dream of souls that are always free,
Like the cloud that floats,
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.
Why I ask myself, did not Christians make contact immediately???? CNN will be interviewing him shortly.
My prayer is that someone who loves Christ will meet him and love him, give him things he needs. Already the panelist is going to be paying for his voice lessons. Got bless her!!!!! But where are the Christians? He has been viewed 100′s of thousands of times on GodTube, GodVine and now here…..Someone respond please.
Thank you for posting the lyrics of that song. Very nice, very inspiring. . . . God bless you more!
Beautiful…I saw God’s beauty into that voice.
Very amazing & magical. God is always present in those who suffer innocently & helps them to get out of their hardship. God is fair & doesn’t
leave anybody without anything. I pray, He blesses Sung-bong with talents alway. Thanks for the movie. God bless you.

Stories like this one touches the heart. This reminds me of a scripture in the book of proverbs and I quote: “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings . . . ” (Proverbs 23:29)It will be wonderful to follow up on his success!
God Bless you Sung Bong.
This young man has a passion. When you have a passion, the only thing between you and success with that passion is you. Through all of the adversity, Sung Bong stayed with his passion and , like Susan Boyle, I believe he will go far. As the Word says, “I can do all thing through Christ who gives me strength”. As stated earlier, I hope Sung Bong meets up with a Christian mentor.
WOW!!! MAY GOD GIVE THIS YOUNG MAN ALL HIS HEART DESIRES.FOR EVERY TEAR HE SHED IN 22YRS,MAY THEY TURN INTO JOY.GOD BLESS SUNG BONG.
Your music comes from your heart and soul. May God continue to bless you with your voice and may you become a world renowned star. You already are n my eyes! Congratulations!
I feel like one of the judges and want to give him a hug and move him right into my home. God has definitely watched over him and kept him each and everyday. I know he will be a successful person one day because he has God on his side.
Your voice is sooo beautiful even though I don’t understand your language,,you brought tears to my eyes! You keep going because you are already on the road to FAME! May the good Lord continue to Bless You!! Congradulations!!!!
God Lives In YOU!!
May GOD keep blassing you
God really works in a mysterious way to let the world discover the hidden talent of Sung Bong. I am a Filipino and was so amazed by his song. Good luck and fly high Sung Bong…
Sing, sing, sing, Angel Boy.. ‘Sung-bong.’ God is listening.

Professionally and in the Spirit of Our Lord Jesus Christ,

First I was so engrossed in his heart rendering story of his childhood that in itself ran chills down my spine. As I continued to listen to the interview, and seeing how young this man was,I never thought that I would hear the voice that I truly felt as a heavenly experience.
Tears rolled down my face when he sung the first line. His voice took my breath away. What he had gone through his entire life, and to be so talented. He is a survivor, and through surviving his entire life, I pray God will bless him with many more blessings, more hope, and somewhere fine the love that he truly deserves. I also would like to give him a hug. I’m so proud of him even though I don’t know him. I will be certain to pass this on to my friends and colleagues.
Sung-bong I wish you well, my thoughts and prayers will always be with you, and your voice is embellished in my mind and heart.
Simply amazing!Just cant help crying too..Go Sung-bong!May you inspire other people not to give up on life just because they’ve had a bad one..There is light after a dark tunnel!!
inspiring and sincerely shared—i hope this young man will go far in achieving the best—as a vocalist if he desires—i am happy to see that material wealth is not a prerequisite of talents—-we are inspired because this young man has reached for excellence and has not been defeated by his challenging circumstances. But above all—he is an amazing vocalist—he is a truly remarkable human being. Thank you for the tears and heart-moving sharing in music.
crying God is truly in the blessing business.
Just an ordinary people, God uses ordinary people who are willing to be used.
The young man has touched my heart so much! Besides his beautiful voice, he has projected a disposition worth imitating, a wonderful heart willing to transcend the painful experiences he had gone through. In short, he is a winner – not only in music, but also over all of life’s adversities. May God bless the people who gave him not only great accolade, but willingness to show him love and concern.
I thing they should end the competition right now, and
make the kid the winner!
We get so caught up in all the bad things that are going on in this word that we “FORGET” that there are young and old people like Sung-bong, who has lived on the streets and slept in un-awful places. WE who like Myself eventhough I”m menatally tramatic disabled from being in the Viet Nam war ,”CAN’T” even match what this young man has endured, But because we have such a “LOVING” God he gave him a precious talent that I Hope Makes the “WHOLE” word feel like I do. I’m with the the lady who said “STOP” the talent show now!!! and make him the winner, Eventhough in Gods’ eyes he “ALREADY” is. May our Lord and Savoir Keep him safe and give him all his Blessings!!!
Sung- Bong is a gift from God and his magnificent son Jesus Christ to show us how much he loves us. What we do with the gift is up to us if we ever want to get more spectacularr gifts
Sung Bong has the voice of an angel if heaven has choirs like thjat i . God bless can’t wait to go. I am a tough old soldier and i wept like a baby. Thank you my dear God and my savior Jesus. Thank the people who put him on this show and led me to him on the net As I write this I am weaping i am not so tough after all just a Lamb and a baby. Jesus ask your /father our God to forgive me for being so hard with people for not measuring up to my standards I thought weerre his and thank him and the people that put him on the show, what a wonderful gift God bless Song Bong.

Its amazing its Gods manifestation, it catches our heart that whoever we are, whatever religious beliefs we had, God lives in the same place we call heart..
God has a way of showing that in everyman, he has put a gift. How, when and where you discover it is another question. Thank God.
JUST BEAUTIFUL…KEEP ON SINGING
I am a Filipino and a mother…and listening to his amazing story and his song,I also felt like wanting to hug him like he’s still that little 5-year old…scared, hungry and so alone…God bless Sung!
Definitely an inspiration for anyone has ears..God be with you all the way!
I was really touched!! This is a young man with GUTZ!
He didn’t allow extreme circumstances to get in his way. He doesn’t have that “BOO HOO, POOR ME” attitude like many of us have when a minor detail get’s in our way. This young man will triumph in all his trials. Two verses come to mind when hearing him speak, “Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men”. (Rom. 12:17, and “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (Rom. 12:21). I would be really surprised if this young man didn’t have Jesus Christ in His life. If I could have 2 minutes to talk with Him, I would quote from the Bible, Ipet.5:5-11.
wow……what a touching voice you have sung bong. may u always stay humble regardless of the fame u will have in the future. godbless and may u also add christian songs in your collections. always learn to give the glory to our God who gave u that super dooper inspiring voice…..
What an incredible story! I cried through the whole story and song. I can’t believe what a great young man he became living in the street and lived such a bad life. I pray he makes it big! “GOD bless him”!
Praise God for the wonderful talent He had given to you. Thanks for the one who gave the lyrics. Really, you have got an amazing voice. Indeed, the Lord who watches over us will neither sleep nor slumber. God has kept you from all the harm and bad things of this world though living in such circumstances. Remember, always Jesus loves you and died for you and rose again on third day and he will dwell with you always. Just invite Him to your heart if you haven’t, then everlasting joy will be upon you.
There are so many ways..GOD wants us to feel that HE is always there for all of us mortals….one way is through Sun-Bong….HE makes us feel how much HE loves us……
a life many of us will never wish to have…an amazing voice…God has plans for him. I wish you luck Sun-Bong Choi!
It was absolutely beautiful. I’m sorry for you Enlightened, that you don’t know the Glory of our Lord and Savior. All good things come through GOD!!!
You can’t help but praise God,he is a message that God do not neglect his creation, that we are precious in His sight. It take a Sun-Bung Choi to humble me, a dayfly that fight a good fight in life. God is really faithful, the gift of passion and the gift of voice, the gift of character, are all the works of His hand.
God takes care of His olive tree
very heartwarming and inspiring… thanks for sharing this will be praying for this guy, the Lord has blessed him with a very excellent talent…
Truly God preserves his children even in the very hard core 0f life circumstances. God will direct you where He could mold you to His glory. Sun-Bong Choi,God desinged the place where you had been selling so you hear music that serves as strengths and inspiration to your very soul to live on as days flies, until you will fullfil what God’s will in your life. God bless. Yes we all want that place in the song’s lyrics.
This video left me speechless and with tears in my eyes. Never give up on your dream, no matter what your situation is.
How the little everyday problems we face pale in comparison to the adversity this young man has survived! I have often turned to singing in my life when I was feeling low. I hope his beautiful voice and his joy in singing takes him to a wonderful new life. He has a gift that should be shared.
Keep it on. I am so proud of you. i thank god for the alent he gave you and you are not alon God is with you.
Keep it Up. I am so proud of you. I thank God for the talent he gave you and you are not alon God is with you.
I watched through tears. Now I heard and angel sing.
God smiles.
What a truly magnificent voice and such a moving inspirational performance. My heart really went out to this young man. I’d like to see him go places.
This has nothing whatsoever to do with Jesus. Some people will steal any story that is moving, and attribute it to Christianity.
Why shouldn’t they be allowed to express their belief? If you haven’t noticed, smart one, you are on a Christian site… This also goes out to “enlightened” one. We DO happen to believe that anything good comes from God. Problem? I have a right to my faith and opinion as you do. Don’t criticize me, thanks. I don’t criticize you.
what is song it’s very beautiful
Aloha…
Definitely a tear-jerker. : )
Does anyone know what song he was singing and an English translation of it?
