Charice going back to Korea to film for Star King

 

Back in 2005, a filipina by the name of Charice Pempengco joined Little Big Star, a talent show in the Philippines modeled after American Idol. She performed very well but unfortunately was eliminated in the latter rounds. In 2007, a fan of Charice uploaded her performances unto Youtube and the videos started racking up millions of views. After this popular rise on the internet, she was formally invited to the popular Korean talent / variety show Star King.
She performed And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going and A Whole New World with Super Junior’s Kyuhyun. Famous American comedian / TV host Ellen DeGeneres happened to come across her Star King appearance on Youtube and invited her to the The Ellen DeGeneres Show. She made another appearance on Star King after the Ellen appearance and then released her self-titled debut album Charice in the Philippines, the album went on to go Platinum. She later made several appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show and later released Note To God, a song that was a Top 10 hit on iTunes. Charice’s star keeps on rising as she will have a recurring role in the popular FOX musical comedy-drama Glee.
Now she’s coming full circle as Charice tweeted that she will return back to Star King on July 24th. She tweeted:

I got discovered because of this show.. Star King.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9eZfIH3SFU
and now, I’m going back to Star King this July 24 to show my love for them! Korea!!!! :)

Can’t wait until the episode airs and maybe she’ll perform with Kyuhyun again. Thanks to everyone who sent this in and check out her 2007 performance(s) from Star King below.
