He's in one of the hottest groups in K-pop, Shinhwa... And known as their wittiest member, Kim Dong-wan! The singer released his first-EVER solo album, 'Kimdongwan Is'. On today's STAR FOCUS, we sit down for a up-close-and-personal interview with Kim Dong-wan.
At an auditorium in Seoul, we found tons of fans waiting to watch Kim's solo performance.
Kim Dong-wan is making his way back into the industry - not as a member of Shinhwa, but all by himself! We could see that he was working hard, this was a new step in his life.
'Handkerchief' is the title track to Kim's first solo album.
It's a lyrical ballad, and has been received warmly with the release of his album.
The singer even acted in the music video for 'Handkerchief' and showed everyone how dedicated he really was.
Kim Dong-wan is causing quite a sensation with the quality of his vocals on his new album. He sounds a lot different than when he sang with Shinhwa.
Kim had worked SO hard, he even got laryngitis a couple times!
Besides his main song, 'Handkerchief', Kim's SECOND title track is on a roll as well - 'Scream'. It's a Kim Dong-wan style remake of a song by the Japanese rock group, Glay.
His solo album is titled 'Kimdongwan Is' for a reason...
The entire album contains everything about the singer, and individual, Kim Dong-wan, as the singer explained to us himself.
Now, if we're going to talk about the STAR, Kim Dong-wan, we can't leave out his second career... acting!
He started in the 2002 TV drama, 'Heaven's Children', and took the lead in the 2004 movie, 'Spin Kick'. Kim has been expanding his repertoire ever since, but the singer-slash-actor tells us that he still has a lot to learn.
As a member of Shinhwa, an actor, and now a solo K-pop star, Kim Dong-wan is adored by a great NUMBER of fans! He's one of those celebrities who strives to make his dreams into a reality. But there was still a dream he hadn't achieved just yet ?
Kim Dong-wan... singer and actor - all around MULTI-TAINER!
He has what it takes to make it far in the industry. We hope his first solo album, 'Kimdongwan Is' gets him a surefire spot in K-pop history.
