Great Talent + 4 iPhones = a "World Star"

In mid-March, a YouTube video made a big buzz among the Korean Twitter users. It was a video of a girl singing and playing Beyoncé’s “Irreplaceable” with various musical apps in 3 iPhones. She had been known as “iPhone-nyuh”(“nyuh” means “girl” in Korean) at that time, And the link of the video spread really fast via Twitter and NateOn. People were amazed by her savvy usage of the iPhones, her great vocal performance, and her attractive appearance. Her Twitter account is @0applegirl0, and her name is Yeo-hui Kim.

The famous Korean Twitter user Yongman Park(@Solarplant), who is the chairman of Doosan Infracore, Retweeted her tweet and encouraged her to post another video of her singing. That tweet ignited the spread even more. She did post another video, this time she sang Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” (with “4″ iPhones!!!) and it’s viewed by over 1,690,000 people on YouTube so far.

On early April, she was introduced on Mashable, one of the most famous tech new site in the world. Now she has worldwide fame.

In early days, YouTube gave chances to ordinary people, who has great talent but didn’t have opportunities to show it, to express themselves easily. Now with Twitter and other social media, the power of YouTube has been multiplied, so it became “real-time”. Today you’re a just normal guy, but tomorrow morning, you’ll be able to find yourself a world star, if you’re talented enough.

Applegirl posted her third video last week. It’s less geeky but more soft and beautiful. Keep track of her on her YouTube channel.

Here are the two videos that shot applegirl to viral video fame and her recent third release:
