South Korean guitarist Jung Sungha will give a recital March 26 at the Shenzhen Concert Hall.

Jung specializes in acoustic fingerstyle guitar and his YouTube channel currently has more than 3 million subscribers. He was nicknamed the “August Rush” in South Korea.

His cover of “The Pirates of the Caribbean” theme song, which currently has over 47 million views on YouTube, made Jung an Internet sensation, and his playing caught the attention of world-renowned guitarists.

Jung has received guitar lessons from Hata Shuji, a well-known Japanese jazz guitarist. He has also been mentored by German guitarist Ulli Bogershausen, who Jung refers to as his musical inspiration, and from whom he learned much about composing and arranging.

In 2010, Jung was featured on Narsha’s solo album “Narsha,” for the song “I’m in Love.” In 2011 he performed in the United States with Trace Bundy, and also toured Scandinavia and Japan. In 2012 he collaborated with 2NE1, creating acoustic versions of the group’s hit songs “Lonely” and “I Love You.” Later in 2012, he participated in a live stage with G-Dragon, where they performed “That XX.” He performed “I’m Yours” with Jason Mraz, who described Jung as “amazing” and his “hero,” in 2013. Jung played Ahn Hyeok in the 2011 Korean movie, “The Suicide Forecast.”
