“Thanks to you at home, I have more time to talk!”
In 6 years, he has become a ‘silver-tongued’ person.What happened to Bobby Kim? The biggest change in his life is that he has become the lifelong companion of a wonderful woman.After 3 years of marriage, isn’t he ‘still newlywed’ ? Well, how many people can ‘nod’ and agree with that? In that sense, Bobby Kim could be ‘that guy, love’ on a different level, as his popular song says.As a natural person who believes in being a ‘lover’, he is Kim Do-gyun.
When you think of Bobby Kim, the first thing that comes to mind is a breakup or longing.What about the new mini album that was released after 6 years? It can be summarized as Bobby Kim’s version of ‘Boksaek Sootsuda’, thank you for your hard work.The story was like this.It was difficult to completely separate life and work.If you were to put your daily life into a song, it would be a very difficult situation where it was all ‘wholesome songs’.
From the title song, his wife might interrogate him like this: ‘When, what situation, so what’s the conclusion? ‘The title is’ Flooding love…and 3 days.’Does it mean that he couldn’ t stop crying for three days? ‘Fortunately’ there is a separate lyricist.Singer and producer Park Sun-joo.
“This song was written by Park Sun-joo, who wrote the lyrics and music for my hit song ‘Love, That Guy.’ She is the person who understands the ballad genre the best in Korea.Please ask her about the meaning behind the lyrics.”
The unique voice is still there, but the number of words has increased, and there is a sense of ‘leisure’ that can be sensed through humor and wit.This is Bobby Kim’s ‘The Last 6 Years’.Photo courtesy of Attract
His unique voice is still there, but he has become more talkative, and he has become more ‘leisurely’, which can be sensed through humor and wit.We also hear the word ‘bachelor’ through him for the first time in a long time.Regarding the ‘before and after’ where he was a bachelor and became a husband, Bobby Kim says, using his expression, that he no longer gets “angry!”
As a silver-tongued orator, Bobby Kim’s ‘rediscovery’ seems to have already been noticed by the savvy broadcasting industry.Appearing on the YouTube channel ‘UV Room’ hosted by Yoo Se-yoon and Muzi, he garnered an unprecedented number of views and hinted that he “might be able to take on the regular program ‘Half Voluntary, Half Involuntary’.”
As a singer who makes a living off of ‘stage food’, he said that in order to hold concerts, he “must release new songs more often” in the future.When asked what kind of joke this was for a singer with many hit songs, Bobby Kim replied, “Well, I have a few…but I’m not on the level of hyungs like Lee Seung-chul and Lee Moon-sae!”
Bobby Kim’s voice, heard for the first time in 6 years, his new album ‘PART OF ME’ will be released at 6 PM on the 24th.
