 Retweet  Choi shows 'Talent'; Tae-min reveals plan  By Jeff
Chung   "Dancing with the Stars" and "Korea's Got Talent" are
getting a lot of attention nowadays. The Korean versions of the
hit American programs have the same structure and style as their
counterparts. Recently, nearly 30 different friends have sent me
a link to a video of 22-year-old Choi Sung Bong singing "Nella
Fantasia" on "Korea's Got Talent." The clip has nearly 9 million
hits so far. Choi was orphaned at age 3, then ran away from the
orphanage at 5 because of beatings and wandered the streets
homeless. He spent 10 years sleeping on stairs and in public
bathrooms, selling gum and energy drinks to make a living. His
dream was to just live a normal life — something many of us take
for granted. Choi has become an instant celebrity and is
expected to get to the finals. Watch Choi's performance at
