Kim Dongwan says, "After understanding the magnitude of the Sichuan quake from the media, I had to do something. Not as an artiste, but as a human being, even if it's just a small part, I still hope to be able to help the quake victims in some way."

Kim Dongwan's title track from his 2nd album has been making waves on all music charts, and he is receiving recognition for his vocal abilities through all his live performances.
