“It’s a sad, mournful song that honestly delivers memories and emotions,” he said in describing the song. “The song’s high pitch is another charm.”

Kim has been actively performing in Japan, appearing in numerous local entertainment shows. Postage stamps designed after Kim’s image were released last February as well.

In Korea, Kim has been mainly engaged in acting, starring in drama series such as “Manhole” and “Spy.”
