Singer-songwriter Roy Kim captivated viewers not only with his perfect chemistry with singer Lim Young-woong but also with his witty conversation.
Roy Kim (real name Kim Sang-woo) appeared as the sixth friend personally invited by Lim Young-woong on the KBS2 broadcast of 'Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend,' which aired on the 6th, in the artist Lim Young-woong's first solo special episode Part 2 'Lim Young-woong and Friends.'
Lim Young-woong introduced Roy Kim, saying, 'He's an all-rounder who can do everything from writing lyrics and composing to producing. He sent a love call for this album.' Once on stage, Roy Kim overwhelmed the atmosphere by singing 'If You Ask Me What Love Is' with his unique sweet tenor.
In particular, Lim Young-woong mentioned the keyword 'first kiss,' stating, 'Roy Kim wrote the wonderful song 'Melody for You' included in this album.' When Kim Jun-hyun said, 'I was surprised when singers say they've completed their 'first kiss' working together,' Lim Young-woong jokingly said, 'We had a peck,' and Roy Kim responded, 'It felt good to kiss,' causing an uproar in the studio.
Roy Kim also shared behind-the-scenes stories about 'Melody for You.' He said, 'I was asked to write a song like 'Spring Spring Spring,' and after much thought about how to write it, I created this song.' He added, 'From the first recording, I felt this song wasn't my song but rather Yong-woong's song, perfectly sung. You'll know when you listen to it,' raising expectations.
The two also presented a special stage where they sang each other's representative songs. Roy Kim expressed Lim Young-woong's 'Love Always Escapes' in his own unique tone, leaving a deep impression, while Lim Young-woong reinterpreted Roy Kim's hit song 'You Can Break Up Then' with delicate emotion, receiving thunderous applause.
The highlight was the stage of 'Melody for You' that both created together. This song, in which Roy Kim participated directly in composition and lyrics for Lim Young-woong's second regular album 'I'm Hero 2 (IM HERO 2),' was presented as a duet for the first time on this broadcast. Roy Kim opened the stage with guitar performance, and Lim Young-woong, who took over, completed a vibrant performance by adding a dance routine, turning the venue into a sea of excitement.
Meanwhile, Roy Kim has been garnering a hot response by showcasing his charm as a singer-songwriter through various festival stages and revealing the delightful daily life of his original character, Kim Sang-woo, through his YouTube channel 'Roy Kim Sang-woo.'
