Ha Youngwoong is a South Korean child who became an Internet sensation with his renderings of well-known songs by the Beatles. A YouTube video of a diaper-clad Youngwoong, also known as "Hero," or the "Hey Jude Baby", had been viewed nearly six million times in July of 2008.
The popularity of the initial video on YouTube led Hero and his family to make more videos, and he has appeared on local, national, and international TV programs.
Hero is almost 7 years old, and is still singing. According to his MySpace page, he can now sing about 40 different songs.http://www.myspace.com/heroiscoming He now has a little brother, and some of his newest videos feature his brother as well, but his brother hasn't shown the affinity for singing the Beatles that Hero has.
