Editor's note

Roy Kim's folk-pop songs feel lived-in

The Korean singer-songwriter builds quiet moments into lasting melodies.

For a good sense of his tone, try 'Do Not Love Me' or 'Heaven'. They're both straightforward and quietly memorable.

Roy Kim's music often turns small observations into something that sticks. A song like 'Do Not Love Me' has that gentle, conversational pull. He's covered 'Creep' with Jung Joon Young, but his own material leans more toward acoustic reflection.

He emerged through Superstar K4 in 2012. Since then, he's released a steady stream of folk-pop tracks, from 'Linger On' to 'Grandpa's Camera'.

Archive material and source history

Roy Kim was born in Seoul in 1993 and grew up in California after moving there with his family. He returned to South Korea after high school and auditioned for the talent show 'Superstar K4' in 2012. His performances on the show, including a cover of Adele's 'Someone Like You,' made him a fan favorite and he placed second in the competition.

After the show, he released his debut single 'Only Then,' which topped charts. He has since put out songs like 'Bom Bom Bom' and 'Grandpa's Camera.' His work includes collaborations with artists like Zion.T and Gallant.

In 2015, Kim faced sexual harassment allegations from a fan, which he denied. The incident drew public scrutiny. He returned in 2018 with the single 'The Hardest Part,' which addressed his emotional experiences during that period.
