A NY Korean American Singer’s Dream Is Finally Coming True

After years of hard work, a Korean American singer who built his career through YouTube is ready for his BIG moment!

Kevin Oh is now widely known for his husky singing voice, guitar-playing skills, and good-looks, but before he became a contestant on Mnet‘s Superstar K7, Kevin was just a YouTuber who uploaded videos of himself singing covers. It was revealed, at the end of the show, that solo artist Roy Kim actually saw Kevin as a role model during his pre-debut days and was encouraged by him to start posting his own videos. Roy Kim got his start from the Mnet Superstar K4 contest.

Kevin Oh, who won the final round of Mnet‘s Superstar K7, will be making his big debut on November 16th, with the song “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.” For his debut song, he has partnered up with hit producer, Primary, and we’re expecting big things!.
