13-Year-Old Yoosung Is So Young

Yoosung

When I was twelve, I was playing Smash Bros and trying to get popcorn out of my braces. When Jang Giseop, aka Yoosung, was 12, he was preparing to release his first single, "Star".





It's only fitting that "Yoosung" anagrams into "So Young." The 13-year-old (his birthday is on May 19th) released "Star" on the 18th, meaning that the guy wasn't even a teenager when he produced his first song. I feel old. This kid could even call SHINee's Taemin "hyung" and 2NE1's Gong Minji "noona". But, the new teenager better start cracking if he wants to catch BoA, who came out with her first album ID; Peace B when she was around 13 1/2 years old.

The guitar playing, 5' 7" artist definitely does not look or sound like a 96-er. The single isn't anything to backflip over, but producing a listenable, professional song at the age of 13 is commendable. Good job, kid. Now go grow some armpit hair.

Wth did his parents feed him to make him so tall at such a young age? Someone tell me so I can do the same if I ever have kids. He sounds like he has a kid’s voice though (as in teenager). Once he hits second puberty it will be all different xD

lol “go grow some armpit hair”!

wow…he’s so….....young…is his company sure his voice isn’t gonna change or something due to puberty? or have they done something about his puberty already? lol…knowing koreans there’s probably some kind of surgery for it

WOW :o He’s cute…
Is he’s seriously only 13 this year??
Now I feel like a pedo and an old person. D: I’m like 5 years older XD

 
amigo75's avatar

he may be tall now, but if he works too much of a rigarous schedule his growth will be stunted and he will be that forever… i believe that is what also happened to taeyang… hehe.

 
hjftilove's avatar

13?!?!? OMG IM 13….
:O seriously korean industry gonna have like
5 year old singers next year
not kidding….

 
smile0x's avatar

awwwwwwwww, he looks cute :D but usually young singers (ex taemin,sohee) cant really sing live. so im hoping for this guy to actually be good since he’s a solo artist.
we’re the same age now XD but on saturday we wont be ! i’ll be a noona !! kekekee.

Wow, lucky! He’s become an artist at the young age of 13! I’m younger than him by a month. Also, it’s his birthday tomorrow. Well, then I guess Happy Birthday to him.

Omo omo omo omo omo!
Aigoo he’s so cute x3
Sadly I’m 2 days older than him D:
I’m his noona!!! NUUUUUU!!
SarangHae YooSung <3
I hope you succeed to a higher ranking in the music entertainment ^^
If I could, I would go in your footsteps and try to succeed in the singing business
Sadly I don’t think that will happen for me >.<
If I could, I would have liked to go to Korea and try to learn about their customs
I mat be Vietnamese but who says there’s no more room for one more culture? :]

New artists are getting younger by the year in Korea. Sooner or later, fans will be considered a pedophile as they fan-boy/fan-girl over five year old artists. Considering how education is important over there, I wonder how they deal with school and the entertainment business. It is kind of sad to not have much of a childhood life.


I like the song, but I don’t like younger guys. He is a year younger than my younger sibling by a year. It will be so wrong if I was to fan-girl over someone who is young (especially that young!).

naba's avatar

T C's avatar

what do they feed him?

 
xirisxox's avatar

omg 5"7”? and he’s turning 13?! omg he’s soo tall!

 
cardinaltree's avatar

Holy smokes, he is only a few months older than my baby sister. Insane! He sounds pretty decent though. He’ll probably be as tall as a tree in a few years, considering how tall he is now O_O

 
toto101's avatar

Nice song i like it! Now he is innocent but soon enough he will become some bad boy from the block you watch!

 
no avatar

lolz… you are funny ...
but i wonder what is the point of releasing him at mere 13 ??? his voice box isn’t even crack yet, what’s his market age ??? 11 year olds girls???? .....

i personally think shinee is already too young… this is like a toddler!!! at least shinee’s first song helped them to gain noona fans… how can you not after hearing it ?? hehe

but this kid is not too bad.. and i feel very old now ....

 
pieee's avatar

jeehyuni's avatar
