A singer-songwriter whose gentle voice and piano-driven songs have made him a steady presence in Korean pop.
For the core of his sound, listen to 'After Summer' and 'Empty'. They're good examples of how he builds a mood with very little.
Paul Kim's songs work because they're direct and uncluttered. Tracks like 'After Summer' and 'Loveship (feat. Chung Ha)' are built around simple piano melodies and lyrics about everyday heartache. They don't try to be anthems, just quiet conversations that stick around.
He emerged with a run of solo ballads and OST contributions. More recently, his work includes collaborations like the duet with Chung Ha, while still returning to the solo piano sound of songs like 'The Road' and 'Love Letter'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
