Blind contestant makes J.Y. Park teary-eyed on SBS's 'K-Pop Star'

On the latest episode of SBS's 'K-Pop Star', the second round of auditions continued with intense fervor, as the remaining contestants battled it out to move onto the next round. Contestant Kim Soo Hwan stood out with his cover of Lee Juk's 'I'm so Fortunate', which was applauded as the most emotionally touching performance of the round. Kim Soo Hwan is a 19-year-old man who's been blind since birth. He made his debut appearance on 'K-Pop Star' in its pilot episode, when he made judge BoA cry with his unconquerable devotion to music. Even though Kim Soo Hwan required assistance to walk that day, his astounding effort in his dance performance made all the viewers exclaim with amazement. In the first episode, the judges were skeptical -- was Kim Soo Hwan just a one-hit wonder? They debated on whether he would be able to impress them in the second round, since he barely passed the first round. Fortunately, their concern was unneeded, as Kim Soo Hwan blew the judges away with a heartrending vocal performance that rang with deep emotion. In fact, his performance was so touching that he caused tears to spring in the eyes of his fellow contestants. J.Y. Park was also teary-eyed as he applauded, "To me, you are number one today. The song lyrics were sung with sincerity.  This was the first time that I was about to cry." Source + Photos: maxmovie via Nate
