A video of a foreign musician singing a classic K-pop song in a Seoul subway station is going viral, with many praising its feel-good vibe.

Filmed at Seoul National University of Education Station on Line 2, the video shows the singer performing a rousing version of G.O.D.'s "One Candle." Onlookers laugh in surprise when the musician, Aancond Abe Zaccarelli, starts singing in Korean.

Sporting long dreadlocks, the singer stomps his feet as he sings. Subway musicians are rare in Korea, but onlookers warmed to the musician quickly, singing along with him.

The song is a well-known anthem about overcoming hardship.

"Oh my God this just makes me smile," a netizen wrote in English.

Another wrote: "After everything that has happened in Korea, this song may be an encouragement."

This is not the only time the musician has been seen performing in a public place ­ he was also videotaped busking in Insadong, Seoul.



교대역서 '촛불하나’ 부르는 외국인 가창력 '소름’

최근 지하쳘2호선 교대역 환승로에서 지오디의 3집 앨범 수록곡 ‘촛불 하나’를 부르며 버스킹(Busking, 길거리에서 연주와 노래를 하고 돈을 받는 행위)을 하는 외국인의 영상이 화제다.

이 영상은 SNS를 통해 해외 유명 동영상 공유 사이트에 올라오며 한국뿐 아니라 외국에서도 큰 인기를 끌고 있다.

해당 영상에는 기타를 든 그는 ‘촛불하나’를 부르며 혼자서 모든 랩까지 완벽한 발음으로 소화하고 있다. 자신을 보고 있는 사람들을 향해 호응까지 유도한다. 이런 열정적인 외국인의 모습에 역 내에서 버스킹을 지켜보던 서울 시민들은 후렴구를 따라 부르며 하나가 되는 모습으로 감동을 자아냈다.
