His song "I Want To Fall In Love" has become a mega-hit throughout the country of South Korea.[1] He founded the girl group Unicorn.[2]

Early life

Career

In 1993, he debuted as a member of Solid (솔리드), a South Korean R&B group that pioneered the genre in the 1990s with chart topping hits in Korea.[3] He was the lead vocalist of the trio. After the group separated in July 1997 to take a break from incessant schedule, Kim stayed in South Korea to continue as a solo musician.[4] After 21-year hiatus, Solid reunited in March 2018, not only releasing their fifth studio album, but also announced concert dates in May.[5]
