SM Little Stars 2019: Let Your Kids Shine and WIN

My parents are avid fans of the show The Voice Kids. I don't usually watch them but during the finals of year 2015, there was this little girl who placed third. Incidentally, I was at my parents' house watching with them and I thought that with the way she sang, her voice, her versatility, she really should have been the winner.



Fast forward to a couple of days ago and I met the very same Esang de Torres during the launch of SM Little Stars 2019. And my, how has she grown, with her determination and talent. A little known fact though: She started out as a six year old, looking for her chance to shine in the SM Little Stars 2013.
