Roy Kim

A purveyor of plaintive, acoustic folk-pop, South Korean artist Roy Kim was the winner of Mnet's TV talent show Superstar K4, which aired in 2012. In subsequent years, he achieved three Korean Top Ten albums -- 2013's Love Love Love, 2014's Home, and 2015's The Great Dipper -- as well as two number one solo singles, 2013's infectious "Bom Bom Bom" and 2018's "The Hardest Part." Much of this success came in Korea while he simultaneously studied for a sociology degree at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. He released And. in 2022 and has sold over 12 million digital downloads to date.
