Roy Kim recently met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Gangnam, Seoul, and said, `Even if I was asked to sing a congratulatory song, the songs that went well were breakup songs.'`.
Roy Kim, who made his face and name known with Mnet 'Superstar K4' in 2012, made his official debut with 'BomBomBom' in April of the following year, and has numerous hits such as 'Love Love', 'Home', 'The Big Dipper', 'Let's Stop It'. In particular, he has established himself as a singer-songwriter by combining his sweet tone and deep sensibility, as well as excellent writing and composition skills.
On top of that, 'If You Ask Me What Love Is', released in October last year, is also loved as a ballad for Roy Kim's appreciation. It entered the top 10 on Melon, Korea's largest music site, and six months after its release, it is still in the top 20 rankings, boasting a fever that has not cooled down.
Roy Kim is the most loved song ever released. "It's been half a year since the song was released, but I think it's a song that tells you that if you do music with all your heart, you can't get as good as you want, but you can still get more than that."
The reason why he is loved so much was "Superstar K4" when the public got to know me. The music I've been doing since then was not immediately stimulating to the trend. Rather than following the trend, I did music that was not sensitive to the trend. Rather than writing every moment in detail, I enjoy and know how to write lyrics about a wide range of comfort or sorry, so I think it was healing for those who need comfort in a difficult time. "I can taste the taste I used to know whenever I look for it, so I think they listen to it when they need comfort."

Then "Even if I haven't felt it myself, I'm going to put lyrics that I feel more around me. That's why I envy people who use it for an instant. I think I lack the courage to be unloved than them. I want people to like my music more, so I can't completely exclude the listener.
I also want to do raw music, and I want to try jazz or electronic instrument music among genres. However, when I wear clothes that don't fit me, when I think about the heterogeneity, I wonder if it's right to do \'. Changes need to be made naturally, but if you suddenly do everything because you want to do it right away, I am worried that the listeners who have been working hard now may lose them. The degree of freedom may fall, but I think the joy that comes out when I make a song with all aspects considered, and the plan fits well seems to be greater than the degree of freedom.'

As such, I'm proud that 'If you ask me what love is,' went well. 'If you ask me what love is,' is a beautiful and lyrical message that is a topic of true love, and it has drawn consensus from many people.
Roy Kim wanted to make a song about ideal love. So I wrote about the love I wanted to do that. The definition of love is all different, but in the end, the definition of love seems to have a really ideal meaning. Apart from being realistic, when I think about what's real love, it's abandoning me and trying for the other person. Understandable, and not giving up on you even if you give up on me. I think the selfless ideal is love," he added.
Then "It may be difficult to do it in reality, but it seems that trying for this is what people think is love. I also feel like I should have this kind of love. I think that's why people liked it."
