Perhaps, if Choi Sung-Bong's life had been more "normal," he wouldn't have discovered his "true voice!" I believe because of Choi's exposure to the harsh reality of life at such an early has made him more sensitive and compassionate, which comes through in his singing. God bless Choi Sung-Bong! Thank you! -

what inspired me? it simply is a reminder that life is alive... and hope is abundant... that i should live my life in abundant hope too... it transcends psychology about the influence of environment in one's personality... this story supports frankl's logotherapy... environment isn't always an influential factor... meaning of life is... there is no meaning in life... life is the meaning... now i got a fellow traveller in my journey:) roseencabo707@yahoo.com -

Amazing God given talent. He was very humble as well saying that he didn't sing well but loved to sing! I couldn't believe it when he first began to sing. I don't think there was a dry eye in the theater! -

Wow , what a melodious voice of this undiscovered young talented lad posessed . Even though he had not undego musical lessons and coaching But through his own way and inspiration from a vocalist singing outside the night club he is inspirired and he
practiced by himself , it is amazing with the determination for him to pursue his living by him self inspite of hardship he encountered . It is a motivation lesson to be learn by all people fromall walk of life .
Well , it's a heart touching moment to see that even the judges are moved and in tears in their eyes by his voice as this simple , calm , unpolished young lad sings and i myself also shed my tears for this orphan and the way he brought himself up . so we should not look down on him as his first appearence was like Susan Boyle then which turn the world around , and following a lad from Taiwan whose appearence seems to be similar of the three talented person . Keep it up Choi Sung-Bong . -

I am so deeply touched by this young man--to have endured such a traumatic childhood and to have come to this place in his life. I believe there are many other young folks out there with the same resilience and they give me hope for the salvation of us and our beloved Planet. I am filled with awe. -
Elaine
Among the other comments about his strength and courage to persevere despite life's hardships.... I wish I would think about my words before I say them the way he does. That's a rare gift, and one that would improve a lot of inspiring efforts in the world. What a beautiful, powerful soul, and congratulations to the judge who offered to enable his talent regardless of the competition's outcome. Thank you Choi, you renew my strength time and time again. -
grace

Irene Thomas
Excellent
This is really very inspiring. I looked at his eyes and all you see is someone who has not experienced love but he is someone that sings with such emotion and feeling. I wish I understood what he sang about. Even when he was hugged after the performance he didnt hug back. My heart goes out to him for all the pain and suffering that he had to experience from such an early age. He has incredible strength and will to have made it this far. All the best for the rest of your journey. Irene Thomas - Pretoria South Africa -
Steve
I hope that this contest brings him the happiness that he so richly deserves. I am sure that better times are ahead for him. He sings with a honest passion that you can't find in over-trained voices. I would love to hear him sing something in English. It looks like Korea has found a male Susan Boyle. -
Maryellen
Wow! Wow! Wow! His performance reminds me of a quote i once read "Music is what feelings sound like" When i heard him sing I felt love. -

Rebecca
So many of us complain about our lives when we have so much in them - too much in fact, yet this guy show us in a VERY humble way to really appreciate what we have and more importantly who we are inside. Following our hearts and dreams is what makes the person we really are, regardless of how our outside life has shaped us. This had me sobbling like a baby and gave me one hell of a wake up call about my attitude towards my life. . . -
joseph Song
What a wonderful guy, he is. His couragious heart is much bigger than his musical talent. He was abandoned by someone in the past, but he found his beautiful life by himself. God is with you young man! There are thousands of people around the world cheering you. Please, keep going to the top of the world whatever you desire.. Good luck! -

What a blessing and a rarity to view such a beautiful performance with subtitles, however none were needed when he sang...He pierced my heart with such thanksgiving and praise.

nancy mathu
this young man did not allow his difficulties and challenges to put him down. he rose above them to seize an opportunity presented by his naturally attractive voice, to make this amazing performance. he is incredibly inspiring and hope it challenges others who have means and talent but are not utilizing them to do so. go Sung-bong. Go to higher levels of achievement. -

The dignity of this young man and forced human spirit of survival, only to give back to all of us who watched this, a moment of incredible possibilities we tend to turn away from through streams of tears for him.

Cat
Shame on us, shame on the world that leaves children at 5 years of age to fend for themselves. What does that say about our humanity? I was moved to tears by this video. I am incredibly grateful that this young human being, given what he has endured and survived, has finally gotten a chance at what we all want. Happiness and fulfillment. Now what do we do about the millions of children who are not so fortunate? I have been inspired to do more, daily. Even if I do nothing more than face the truth and acknowledge the inhumanity and injustice that exists all around me, then at least that is a beginning. Awareness....Concientness -
