'Superstar K2' finalist John Park will soon be releasing his debut album after months of careful preparation. However, it's not John Park who's making headlines today, but his friend from the States, Sam Ku.

According to Mnet, Sam Ku (who hails from the city of Chicago) was inspired by John Park's success story. As such, he will be auditioning on new vocal survival program, 'Voice Korea'.

"I met with John after he started 'Superstar K2'," said Sam. "I was completely challenged by him. I was so jealous that he was able to sing on stage, and I wanted that for myself as well."

Sam Ku possesses handsome looks and a soulful singing voice that reportedly won over the judges. When asked to identify the edge he had over his friend John Park, Sam bashfully answered, "I think I'm a little taller?"

'Voice Korea' is the Korean version of popular music survival program 'The Voice'. It will broadcast its premiere episode on February 10th at 11:00 p.m. KST.
