Singer Kim Hyun-seong will appear before the public for the first time in a long while, releasing a new song on May 4th.

This new song is Kim Hyun-seong’s first official sound source in about 15 years, excluding omnibus and serial sound sources since “Far Away” in 2010.As it is a sound source that is being released after a long wait, it is expected to contain Kim Hyun-seong’s unique color and emotion that has deepened even further.

Kim Hyun-sung gained great popularity as a representative emotional ballad singer in the 2000s music industry, releasing hit songs such as ‘Heaven’ and ‘Sowon’.In particular, he was loved for his outstanding high notes, uniquely beautiful voice, and sophisticated emotional line, and established himself as a ‘trustworthy vocalist’ for a long time.

Kim Hyun-seong, who had been actively working, was diagnosed with vocal nodules and left the stage for a long time.After that, he appeared on JTBC ‘Singer Gain 2’ in 2021 as ‘Singer No.43’ and showed his happy face once again.At the time, Kim Hyun-seong’s performance, along with his confession that “I didn’t want to be remembered as a failed singer,” moved the hearts of both viewers and judges.

After appearing on ‘Singer Gain 2’, Kim Hyun-sung signed an exclusive contract with Nexta Entertainment at the suggestion of composer Jo Young-soo and began preparing for a full-fledged comeback.In 2022, he married singer Nika, formerly of Bad Kids, and attracted attention as a singer couple of the same age.

Kim Hyun-sung, who has been quietly undergoing treatment and practice with the public’s constant support as his driving force, is finally ready to convey his feelings through song.Expectations are high that this comeback will be more than just a return, but a journey to reclaim the name Kim Hyun-sung in music.

Kim Hyun-sung is scheduled to sequentially release content related to his new song ahead of his comeback on May 4th.
