Singer-songwriter Roy Kim once again proved his presence as a spring-defining performance artist by taking the stage at LoveSome Festival for the fourth consecutive year following Sung Si Kyung's Earphone Boyfriend.
Roy Kim (real name Kim Sang-woo) performed at the 2026 LOVESOME Festival (hereafter LoveSome Festival) held at the outdoor theater of Yonsei University in Seoul on the afternoon of the 11th, delivering a diverse set for about 60 minutes and passionately engaging with the audience. From 2023 to 2026, Roy Kim, who has been with LoveSome Festival for a full four years, gifted the audience an unforgettable spring night with deeper emotion and solid live performance.
That day Roy Kim opened with "Why are you like that" and immediately raised the mood of the venue. He then consecutively performed songs rich in Roy Kim's characteristic lyricism and seasonal feeling, including "If you ask me what love is," "Bom Bom Bom," and "Love Love Love," completing the festival's signature romantic mood.
In particular, when representative spring song "Bom Bom Bom" and then "If you ask me what love is" followed, spontaneous group singing erupted across the audience, and Roy Kim also made eye contact with fans to heighten the live immersion. His warm yet powerful tone and delicately emotional live performance paired with the freedom of the outdoor venue to deliver an even deeper resonance.
Roy Kim also raised the energy of the venue with "Just follow me" and "Smile Boy," drawing enthusiastic cheers from the audience, and demonstrated the true value of his emotional ballads with "Let's be well, us," "We can break up then," and "I can't express it differently." For the ending, he closed the set with "Even if spring comes," in which his voice, soaked in the season, blended with the band sound to deeply imprint the echo of the spring night.
Additionally, on the 10th, a day before appearing at LoveSome Festival, he appeared on KBS2 Sung Si Kyung's Earphone Boyfriend, delivering not only witty talk but also a sweet duet that delighted viewers' ears. In particular, his duet of "If you ask me what love is" with Sung Si Kyung drew attention. Roy Kim said he was very happy to sing it with Si Kyung hyung, noting that it was a song written with the desire to experience and pursue that kind of love.
In this way, Roy Kim followed Sung Si Kyung's Earphone Boyfriend by appearing at LoveSome Festival for four consecutive years from 2023 to 2026, showing activity across both television and concert stages. This once again proved he is one of the most distinctive artists who first comes to mind every spring.
Meanwhile, Roy Kim is currently meeting fans through variety shows such as Channel A Heart Signal and various festivals and performances, continuing his diverse activities.<
