It was a song that was jotted down by Karl Morgan whilst he was sitting in the kitchen of his house in Swansea. But the songwriter could never have predicted that he had just penned a huge international hit.
Karl, lead singer of the indie band Who's Molly? wrote the hit single Youth, which was picked up for K-Pop superstar Kihyun. Amazingly, since the song was recorded, it has charted at number one in seven countries, and topped the iTunes chart in Korea, Argentina, Bahrain, Estonia, Azerbaijan, Bolvia, Panama, Paraguay and Singapore. It sold 120,000 copies in week one alone and received 8.5 million YouTube views in a week, the sort of numbers which are comparable to the likes of Adele and Ed Sheeran in the UK.
