“Sungha Jung makes the most beautiful music on YouTube.”
— Grammy Award-winning US Pop Artist, Jason Mraz [2012]
“Perhaps one of the most accomplished young musicians to ever pick up the instrument…Sungha Jung [has] gained widespread internet fame…through his viral fingerstyle guitar covers of popular tunes (especially Michael Jackson, Yiruma's Kiss The Rain and River Flows In You), movie themes (such as The Pirates of the Caribbean theme and My Heart Will Go On) and other classical works.”
— Time Out Magazine : Hong Kong [2016]
“Sungha Jung is a real phenomenon! Who would have thought that a finger style guitarist, a string plucker, would one day need security guards to prevent him being mobbed by screaming teenage girls? But it’s true; his concerts in Asia have a huge teen following for some of whom he has become a youth idol and for many others an example to look up to. Sungha Jung has a cool, youthful appeal with which he has repositioned the acoustic guitar to a new status.”

Since his sensational 2006 viral video debut on YouTube as a child prodigy musician, South Korean acoustic guitarist Sungha Jung has progressively fine-tuned his artistic groove and professionally flourished far beyond 15+ years of international internet fame.
In between recording 9 studio albums [2010 - 2018] and releasing 9 cover compilations [2019 - 2021], he has successfully sold out concerts in 20+ countries worldwide (Asia-Pacific • North America • Western Europe), collaborated with a constellation of K-Pop superstars (2NE1 • G-Dragon of Big Bang • Narsha of Brown Eyed Girls), and performed with a string of international music icons (Kotaro Oshio • Trace Bundy • Sergio Mendes • Jason Mraz).
After becoming the first Korean YouTuber to ever score 1.0M channel subscribers and hit 100.0M channel views [2006 - 2010] and bolstered by his K-Pop idol-esque buzz via 9 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Uncharted Chart (2013) and 18 weeks on the Billboard Social 50 Chart [2010 - 2016], the instrumental virtuoso has steadily surged over the past decade to emerge as one of the most popular Korean music artists on the planet.
As of Summer 2022 with 176K+ followers, he is among the top 30 Korean solo music artists in the world on Spotify. With 7.0M+ channel subscribers, he is the #2 Korean male solo artist (second only to Psy) and ranked within the top 15 Korean music acts in the world on YouTube. And with nearly 2.0B total views for his over 1,300+ music video clips, he is also currently one of the top 500 music acts in the world on YouTube.
Celebrating the arrival of autumn with 12 fresh tracks — including 11 original compositions — Sungha Jung is set to world premiere his highly anticipated new album < Poetry > on August 26th 2022 on all major international digital music stores and streaming music services.
