It's been confirmed that Korean actor Kim Soo Hyun will sing the theme song at the opening ceremony of the 2014 Youth Olympics held in Nanjing, China.

On August 14th, Kim Soo Hyun already took part in the final rehearsal for the ceremony. He will sing alongside many other stars at the event, including Zhang Liang Ying, Zhang Jie and a female performer from Russia. Local reports said that he was offered the role because he is one of the youth’s favorite actors. 

Kim Soo Hyun is a Hallyu star after so many hit dramas such as "Dream High", "The moon embracing the sun, "My love from the star"... and has established a large fan base across Asia.

The Youth Olympics Games will officially begin on the 16th and last until Aug 28.
