Actually, Sungha's dad (jwcfree) explains the source of confusion on his
YouTube Channel:
http://www.youtube.com/user/jwcfree
Notice 1: There are some video clips of younger Sungha out
there floating around YouTube, portrayed as a five-year-
old Chinese boy. In fact, I posted them on a Korean
website when Sungha just started playing the guitar at
nine. Apparently, some foreigners who do not comprehend
Korean ripped the videos, and posted them on YouTube with
a little imagination. Please make a note of it.
It matters not, though, because regardless of his age,
Sungha is an amazing talent and deserving of (hopefully
accurate) recognition!
Sungha is probably a 12 yr old now, and has been playing
guitar for 3 years. I've been learning the instrument 10
times as long as Sungha, but admit to being only on tenth as
skilled. hopefully this states more about Sungha's talents
than my imcompetence... :)

Sungha is South Korean, though... :)

I added up the file sizes: 64 files, 485MB size! (Plus, I see a couple of
new vids recently posted by Sungha that I haven't retrieved yet). I could
feed my hamsters some steroids and post the entire folder overnight in
the other place, but for the time being I'll post later today a couple of
my favorites here. You might recognize the songs, or not. But I'm sure
that you'll enjoy the performance nonetheless...
