Back in February 2003 at the inaugural ceremony of then President Roh Moo-hyun, a soft and lyrical voice followed a prelude of the national anthem of South Korea played by an orchestra.
With his high and clear tone catching the ears of TV viewers, the singer s unfledged, young appearance also amazed South Koreans watching the event livestreamed nationwide.
He was Lim Hyung-joo, who made his popera debut at the age of 17. He rose to stardom instantly after performing at the ceremony. He was the youngest singer who has ever sung the national anthem here.
