No matter where you’re from in the world, music is a way of bringing people together and uniting them as one.
When used correctly, it can also be a tool for boosting the younger generation’s confidence. That’s exactly what happens to this teenager in South Korea when a popular street performer pulls him from the crowd and lets him own the spotlight.
Nobody expected what came next—this band is amazing!
These buskers in Hongdae, South Korea pull a young boy from the audience and have him play bass for a huge crowd.
At the beginning of the video, you can see the lead singer joking with the crowd after he pulls a teen boy up onto the stage. Whatever he’s saying has the crowd cracking up, and they let out a huge scream before a wave of laughter comes ringing out.
The nervous young man stands onstage with a bass guitar strapped to his back. After that, he starts pulling his instrument from the bag and preparing to play with the band.
As the kid gets ready to play, the lead singer continues to make the crowd laugh before the real show begins.
The singer asks the teenager some questions that the crowd clearly finds pretty hilarious. Another guitarist from the band quickly teaches the teenager the riffs for the song, with the drummer also coming over to help him get the rhythm down.
It’s hard enough to learn a song after hours of practicing, so the fact that the teen is going to try to pick it up this fast is impressive in itself. Before the song starts, the lead singer continues to joke with the crowd in order to buy the young musician a little bit more time to learn the song.
That’s when the band begins to play—and it’s clear from the onset that the boy they pulled from the crowd is a very talented musician.
The massive group of onlookers lets out a big gasp as the teenager plays his first chords, boosting his confidence and taking some of his nerves away. When the whole band comes in after him, a gorgeous melody permeates from the busking band.
After a few musical notes, the lead singer does some hysterical dance moves before he begins singing beautifully.
The crowd is entranced by the harmonious music and the singer’s powerful voice.
As the song progresses, the teenage musician has no problem keeping up the professional band.
They go through the song with the teenager from the crowd blending right in with the band. He does a terrific job the entire time and the crowd goes absolutely wild for the talented musicians!
Social media couldn’t get enough of the performance with the teenager—and you won’t believe how many people have watched the video!
Almost 40 million people have watched the video on YouTube, with 165,000 of them hitting the thumbs up.
Considering the fact that are only about 51 million people in South Korea, that’s a staggering number. The video has almost been viewed as many times as the country has people! Almost 10,000 people also left comments for the gifted teenager and the band.
What a sensational moment!
For this band to go out of their way to show this kid love is just outstanding—and he definitely rose to the occasion.
