Who will actually believe that Sungha Jung, a professional-finger style-accoustic-guitarist hailing from South Korea, received attention and popularity through Youtube, to have visited 20 countries under his countless concerts held, to be a mere fifteen-year-old? Bandung-based fans were ecstatic to learn how he has confirmed his visit for his ‘First Tour of Indonesia: Sungha Jung‘ presented byMahana Live, which is affirmed by its founder, Ridho Gumilang that “concerts must not only stop in Jakarta, but as the city of Bandung grows to be another potential music spot, we wanted to bring him here as well” at the press conference held on 17 November, 2012.
Visibly clear to have grown since the last we met him, his style has matured and is minded with the weather to have sported an over-sized black sunglasses with a casual graphic tee and jeans – “It is a pretty hot country,” he noted with the press today. The press conference, held at the lawn of Siete Cafe, Bandung, proved to be of great timing as the sun shone brightly to give a clear afternoon for the event.
He had successfully held his Jakarta concert the day before (15/11) with the over-loving 1000 fans. It was shared that there were a lot of young girls cheering in high pitch tones at whatever gesture he did, amongst parents who came to enjoy his performance with their children. How did he really feel about it?
“I absolutely love the concert yesterday, it was awesome – the crowd was just, awesome. Their screaming in the concert made me excited, and I really love that kind of reaction!” His face gloated as he spoke, his voice radiated the happy virus for he indeed, seem to enjoy the screaming so much. Why does this make him so happy, with the Indonesian crowd he has properly greeted in the capital city?
“Really, again, the sold out concert was filled with cheer and that makes me want to return here, hopefully next year to Indonesia, for the feedback was amazingly positive. Different than Japanese audience where they tend to enjoy the concert quietly, USA, Thailand and Indonesia attracts much scream and cheer!”
The musician who shot into featured popularity on his Youtube video for Titanic’s My Heart Will Go On cover announced that he has prepared 18 songs for the Bandung concert that is “a mix of K-pop, American pop, and my own original compositions.” And with that, the K-pop topic came about. The last time I met him, he admits how he is a VIP and a Blackjack and wishes to work with them. A year later, not only he did a studio collaboration with the 4 girls who are currently doing their New Evolution Tour, BIGBANG’s member G-Dragon also acknowledges him and invited him to play his track, ‘That XX’.
So what is exactly the real deal behind the priceless experience?

“The story was that YG Entertainment’s website had their YG LIVE program on their website. Apparently, CEO Yang Hyun-suk uploaded my cover of BIGBANG’s ‘Monster’ on the site. I was taken by surprise how the company recognized my cover and by then I was given a chance to collaborate with YG and Naver with 2NE1. When I was recording it in YG studio, I met G-Dragon hyung and he invited me to Inkigayo for his song.”
I’m sure by the time this comes out, fans of the boy who has magical fingers will support and promote him via SNS. But, as if he doesn’t know the members. “I use the backpack everyday; I also brought it here,” he answered with a laugh when I asked him if his ‘limited edition MCM backpack’ gifted by G-Dragon was used, showing affection as a big brother-little brother relationship, as most fans dubbed it so.
The Bandung sun shone so brightly after a rainy morning to have made Sungha suddenly feel letharge; he had to cancel his friendly visit to a local musician studio in the city. He ended with a commemorative play of Indonesia’s traditional music instrument, the angklung, and wished for the very best wish for all his Bandung fans to “look forward for our intimate concert together. Please enjoy the show!”
The limited seating at the concert venue in Horison Hotel, Bandung is planned for the show that is titled “Sungha Jung Exclusive Concert in Bandung” emphasizes on the exclusivity and intimacy. Only 500 seats are available, and everyone hopes to create memories with a live music experience created by Sungha’s guitar and ukulele.
What songs will he play? Are you guys expecting a rendition of 2NE1 and G-Dragon’s track to be in a form of a medley? What original songs will he showcase?
Catch our live tweet at the concert tomorrow and stay tune for the concert showdown in his debut performance in Indonesia’s flower city, Bandung!
