Kim Hyung-Soo (Hangul: 김형수; born December 30, 1981), better known by his stage name K.Will (Hangul: 케이윌) is a South Korean ballad singer, vocal coach,[1] dancer, songwriter, composer, and actor. K.Will first became known in South Korean through his single called “Dream” in “A Love to Kill” OST, released in 2006. A year after his single and 5 years after as a trainee and a vocal coach, he released his first album “Left Heart” in 2007. Then, after two years, he came back with a successful single, "Love 119," in December 2008. This was followed by a mini album “Dropping the Tears” in April 2009 and his second (and latest) album “Miss, Miss and Miss” in November 2009.

K.Will has a great deal of collaborations and drama soundtracks to his name, and can even rap and dance.[2][3][4]

[edit] Beginnings

[edit] Childhood

K.Will loved singing since he was little, and he began by singing along with his mother while she was playing the guitar. He has even been kicked out of a class once, because he was humming in reading class.[5] After graduating from high school, he finally determined that he was going to become a singer, and told his parents. However, they opposed that idea and tried to compromise with him so that he could do music along with another work. It was too difficult for him to do two jobs at once, so he decided to just do music.

[edit] Pre-Debut

K.Will participated in lots of auditions and looked for potential composers to be able to sing more.[6] When he was a trainee, he would do anything to sing, such as performing at street concerts, singing backup, or singing the chorus for more famous artists. During that time, his friendships with today well-known artists--8Eight, Lim Jeong-Hee, SG Wannabe, Sweet Sorrow, etc.--started.

During his work as a vocal guide (guide vocalist), K.Will also was part of an amateur a cappella group and performed at street concerts around the country for two years.[7]

K.Will is frequently mistaken as the songwriter for TVXQ's “Hug” and it was clarified by an interview on KBS World.[8]

[edit] Career

[edit] 2006-2007

When K.Will was helping Rain produce his second album, he was noticed by Park Jin-Young, an influential producer in the Korean music industry. Park Jin-Young wrote and composed the title track of K.Will's first album “Left Heart”. K.Will's first album, titled "Left Heart" was released on March 6, 2007. Though "Left Heart" is noted as K.Will’s debut album, he had already got a debut stage before with Lim Jeong-hee (Street Dive also known as J-Lim) in the year 2006.

During this time, streaming videos of K.Will singing some of Mariah Carey’s songs surfaced. K.Will sang "Without You," "My All," and "I Still Believe". He performed them so well that he ended up getting the name “Male Mariah” in Korea.[9] Soon more videos surfaced, notably of him singing the high notes in Celine Dion's song "My Heart Will Go On" from the movie Titanic.[10]

[edit] 2008-2009

On December 2, 2008, K.Will released a digital single "Love 119". The single achieved #1 on online charts and ranked #2 on the KBS Music Bank K-Chart without any promotions.[11]

Thanks to the popularity of "Love 119", K.Will released a mini album titled "Dropping the Tears" on March 31, 2009. His deep, husky and beautiful voice made the song full of emotion and it also reached #1 on online charts, though at a slower pace than "Love 119."[12] He also worked with two members of Girls' Generation, Yuri and Tiffany. Yuri appeared in his "Dropping the Tears" music video while Tiffany sang a duet with him called "Girl, Meets Love".

During the album promotions, Lee Min-Ho, the lead actor of KBS Boys Over Flowers, asked K.Will for vocal training. Thanks to K.Will's help, Lee Min-Ho was able to sing the song "My Everything".[13]

Not long before ending the mini album promotions, K.Will surprised many with his versatility. He did a special stage with Outsider the fastest rapper in South Korea, and K.Will rapped almost as fast as him.[14]

Because of the popularity of the Brilliant Legacy OST (in which he participated), he was invited to join the "Korean Music Festival 2009" in Japan, along with T-Max and Jo Sung-Mo.[15]

He made his debut in acting in the "Soul Special: Music Drama"[16] where he worked with Han Hyo-Joo. The drama “Soul special” was a revolution in the entertainment business since all episodes were only released online.[17]

In October 2009, a few weeks before the release of his second album, K.Will was diagnosed with the H1N1 virus. Though he recovered in less than a week, his second album was postponed until November 5, 2009.[18]

His title track, "Miss, Miss and Miss" was a moderate success and reached its peak at #8 on the KBS Music Bank K-Chart. He also collaborated with Outsider in this album, after their success during the summer. However, their song, "Hypnosis" was banned by KBS because it contained the word “mute”. This was unfortunate as Starship Entertainment had planned to promote this song after "Miss, Miss and Miss".[19]

K.Will is also a dancer, and as a result, netizens name him as a multi-talented artist.[20][21]

On December 25, 2009, (Christmas Day) K.Will held his first solo concert. Tickets sold out faster than any other solo artist.[22]

[edit] 2010-2011

K.Will debuted in the U.S.A. on "THE THREE ROMANTICISTS" concert along with Kim Bum Soo and Yoo Seung-Chan on March 5, 2010.[23][24] His new single titled "Present" was released for this spring on March 10, 2010 and achieved #1 on many online music charts.[25][26]

His success in oversea market, K.Will embarked on his first solo concert in Japan, "K.WILL Live Concert with Band in Tokyo" in May 2011 and "K.WILL Live Concert with Band in Osaka" in July 2011.[27][28] On the July 31st, K.Will got his own music show as one of the main MCs for this program along with upperclassmen singer Yoo Young Suk "The MUZIT". On the first episode K.Will and Charice did the duet "Endless Love".[29]

At the end of year, K.Will‘s two-day Christmas concert again has been completely sold out. [30]

A year after the second album, K.Will released another digital single that Simon D and Hyorin Sistar featuring with, "Amazed" on January 21st, 2011. The song rapidly reached to the top of the several music charts.[31] 7 weeks later, K.Will second mini album was out with holding the live showcase, performance, and music video that Lee Jun (MBLAQ) and IU starred.[32] The result, title track of this album all-killed on music charts.[33] 5 years since debut, K.Will finally won the Mutizen on SBS Inkigayo.[34]

In the middle of the year, K.Will successfully completed his third solo concert, "My Heart Is Beating" at the Olympic Park Hall on June 25th, 2011.[35] And he also participated several virieties show such as "We Got Married"[36], the drama "Spy Myung Wol"[37] and the reality show "Immortal Songs 2" nearly the end of the the year.[38]

As the traditionally, he ended the year with 3 days Christmas concert.[39]

[edit] 2012

After K.Will joined KBS TV "Immortal Songs 2" in November 2011, he left the show by being 3 times the winner and set up the new record, won over 5 singers straight in the leaving episode on January 21st, 2012.[40]

On February 14, 2012 (Valentine's Day), K.Will released his 3rd mini album "I Need You" two weeks after releasing a digital single of one of the songs from the mini album entitled "I Hate Myself". On the same day, K.Will also unveiled a music video for "I Need You" on Starship Entertainent’s official YouTube channel, which features Sistar's Bora, actors Ji Chang Wook and Yeo Jin Gu.[41] "I Need You" peaked at no. 2 on the Billboard K-Pop Hot 100.[42], while "I Hate Myself" peaked at no. 6.[43] The new album is especially meaningful because it marks the five year anniversary of K.Will’s first debut as a singer-songwriter. His self-composed song, "I'll Be With You" is also included and is dedicated to all his fans who believed in him. The gentle piano performance and emotional voice will be sure to captivate his fans[44] and also co-writer the lyrics of "I'm Will".[45] The vocalist K.Will earned his first K-Chart award since his debut 6 years ago on KBS Music Bank for his track "I Need You."[46]

[edit] Reception

When he released his first album, he got a lot of compliments from today’s superstar Rain, who said "I believe he’s one of the best vocalists of 2007." and "K.Will has a voice that I really like. His talent is amazing, plus he has even refined it for such a long time. He exerts himself incessantly."[47]

Rain’s mentor and songwriter Park Jin-Young once mentioned "People say the songs I wrote are really difficult for other singers to sing in their own style, as they have too much of my personality. But "Left Heart", people don’t even know that it’s my song because K.Will perfectly interpreted the song in his style." He also said "This is the perfect singer which I’m looking for."

Lee Min Ho expressed: “I’m very touched. I listened to the songs repeatedly. K.Will’s unique grief voice blended well with the lyrics. This main theme song is really good.” According to Lee Min Ho’s company representative, Lee Min Ho has been persuading people around him to listen to K.Will’s song ‘Miss, Miss, Miss’. Lee Min Ho actively help to promote K.Will’s song.[48]
