Singer Kim C set the internet ablaze with news that he had become a "model" after a long time.
On the 18th, Kim C posted several photos on his social media with a short caption reading sometimes, model (가끔은 모델처럼).
In the released photos, he struck a relaxed pose in front of a brand poster. The stylish styling of a knit paired with black pants, natural permed hair and an indifferent gaze combined to create a photoshoot-like atmosphere. Netizens could not hide their surprise, saying "He became a model after working out," "He gets cooler with age," and "Kim C's update is amazing."
In particular, the news has caused even more surprise compared with the update Kim C shared on social media in 2022. At the time he posted a photo of himself doing strength training at the gym and wrote, "I am happy to live as the oldest DJ in Korea's underground club scene, but I grit my teeth walking home carrying two vinyl bags in a downpour." Back then, the thin-framed Kim C drew attention after revealing the solid, muscular physique he had built through exercise.
Three years later, he returned looking completely different. On top of his muscular build, a more relaxed vibe has been added, prompting reactions such as "He worked out and became a model after all." Kim C once again attracted attention with steady self-discipline and principled actions. Netizens are sending messages of support, saying "Now he really feels like an artist + model + philosopher," and "He seems to have properly entered life chapter two through exercise."
Meanwhile, Kim C debuted in 2000 with the band Hot Potato and was recognized for both musicality and popularity by releasing many hits such as "Confession" and "Tears of Rain." He was also loved for his honest, human charm through KBS2 variety show 2 Days & 1 Night. After 2013, following a divorce and controversies over his private life, he reduced his broadcasting activities but continued music and DJ work and voiced social opinions.
