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.

Yoosung

Yoosung

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.

Huzzah! Im finally a noona (95er)! lol, but he seriously doesn’t look like a 12/13 year-old. ... but then again i look older than 14/15… Anyway! I’m really looking forward to his debute stage. If he does well ther i just might be a fan of his~.

And a happy early 13/14 birthday to him. :D

he is really young but he doesnt look 13. Plus his voice is nice but has he gone through puberty yet? Anyhow, the song is pretty nice to listen to=) its got a happy and relaxing feeling.

HAHAHA “now grow some armpit hair”

And he’s older than me by two years. *sigh* To think that there’s actually a Korean celeb who could call me ‘noona’. I already have my nieces and nephews calling me ‘auntie’ and this isn’t really making me feel any better.

I’ve gotta agree with PAPERPLANES
I usually don’t listen to this kind of songs in the K-Pop range, but this one, I don’t know, it just pops out to me. I finally have a K-Pop person that I’m falling in love with that is actually close to my age ^^
Well I’m his noona…
May 17(mine) and May 19(YooSung’s)
BY 2 DAYS! So I feel happy!
So many peoples keep on commenting they feel old XD
I’m glad I’m my age :]

He’s so young though, but his singing isn’t too bad.  I hope he does well in furture. It seems bright as a Star xD;; He’s so tall though O____O That sort of height at his age is a first for me. LOL.

... Holy shit, what the heck, why so young?! T_T AT LEAST FINISH SCHOOL WHY DON’T YOU. Waaah, I feel so unaccomplished. My totally unprofessional recordings suddenly seem like so little compared to him (duh), and I’m 8 months older than him.

At least I won’t feel totally weird if I end up going all fangirly over him, compared to, like, Seungri. Or, better yet, Donghae.
