VietNamNet Bridge – Korean guitarist Sungha Jung will perform in Vietnam for the first time with gigs in Hanoi on Saturday and HCMC on Sunday.

The 17-year-old has attracted fans worldwide since mastering the accoustic guitar from his early teens and displaying his skills online. He now currently has more than 2,240,000 subscribers on YouTube.

He has been praised by many prominent music artists around the world. Because he is self-trained, Jung is considered a bit of a phenomenon and he was voted among the 100 most recognized faces of South Korea around the world.

At the concerts in Vietnam, which are part of his 2014 world tour, Jung will also collaborate with talented young Vietnamese singer Van Mai Huong.

Huong herself is a teen idol after rising to popularity at the age of 16 after finishing second runner-up at Vietnam Idol 2010 contest.

Jung chose Huong possibly because of the similarities in age and love for music.

The performance promises to be something special, with Huong performing her hit songs accompanied by Jung on the guitar.
