A genius guitarist received attention for being Kim Soo Hyun's doppelganger on 'Star King'!


SEE ALSO: Was Kim Soo Hyun's speech at the emergency press conference AI generated?


The contestant Kim Woo Tak introduced himself, revealing that he is in his 3rd year of middle school and 16 years old, and was born in 1999, shocking the entire set. The suit that he was wearing was also revealed to be his school uniform. Lady Jane seemed especially upset that he was a minor and kept asking, "Why? Why? Why?", in understandable disappointment.


He was revealed to have started playing the classic guitar for fun when he was 6 years old and won the national guitar competition when he was only in 2nd grade of elementary school. He also won the Seoul Philharmonic national competition when he was in 4th grade as well as the Korean Chamber Orchestra national competition when he was in 5th grade. He will also skip high school and go straight to college at the Korea National University of Arts this year.


Check out his guitar skills below (starts at the 29:27 mark)!
