Editor's note

Kim Dong Ryul, a quiet voice in Korean music

A singer-songwriter known for gentle, introspective songs like 'Should I Say I Love You Again' and 'How I Am'.

If you want to get a feel for him, put on 'How I Am' or 'That's The Way It Is'. They're good examples of his straightforward, unadorned approach.

Kim Dong Ryul's songs often feel like private conversations set to music. 'Should I Say I Love You Again' captures that hesitant, almost whispered quality. He's built a catalog where the small moments carry weight, and tracks like 'Drunken Truth' or 'Replay' keep things grounded in everyday emotion.

His work spans from early tracks like 'Should I Say I Love You Again' to later ones such as 'Like a Child (feat. Alex)'. The songs suggest a consistent focus on personal reflection rather than dramatic shifts in style.

Archive material and source history

Kim Dong Ryul started with his debut album 'This Love' in 1992, which included the title track that became an immediate hit. He was born in Daejeon, South Korea, in 1969, and early on found inspiration in folk singers like Yang Hee-eun and Lee Young-hoon. In 1998, he released the album 'Drunken Truth,' with its title track becoming one of his most recognized songs.

His music often deals with straightforward emotional themes, heard in tracks like 'Should I Say I Love You Again' and 'How I Am.' The 1996 plagiarism accusation over 'Forever' caused a pause in his work, but he returned with 'Drunken Truth' two years later. He has put out albums regularly since, including 'The Day After' in 2000 and 'Again' in 2014.

Kim Dong Ryul works as a solo artist, performing with backing musicians in concert. His songs tend to be ballads with clear melodies and direct lyrics about common experiences.
