Singer Roy Kim expressed his thoughts on the "Season Song".

Roy Kim recently met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Gangnam, Seoul, and said, "Spring Spring" is a disadvantage to listen to only spring 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.

As there are many hit songs, there are many questions about copyright fees. Roy Kim "I don't know exactly about the copyright fees. It's about 60 songs I wrote, but I don't know exactly how much each song is because it's integrated. Still, it's right that I can buy others delicious food, he said with a smile.

At the same time, there is a "spring spring", so it goes up every spring. In fact, it was so good when it first came out, so it seems difficult to beat the profits as much as then. If it's a bad thing, I don't listen to it at all unless it's spring."




Then 'If you ask me what love is,','You can break up then','Let's stop' seems to continue to be loved. After all, I think 'You can break up then' is the best song for me, and now I think 'If you ask me what love is'"I pointed out.

In the past, even if it was ranked No. 1, it would be out of the chart after a week, but these days, it has become difficult to enter the top 100 of the chart, but it has become a chart that settles once it enters. So he expressed his excitement, saying, `If you ask me what love is, I still can't get the feeling of being in the top 10 even though it's been six months.'

It's been a long time since the song was released in 2018 before joining the military, so I'm very touched. Roy Kim said "I don't know financially compared to the song that won first place before, but apart from that, there's something that was most important to me. The chart performance went well up to 'Let's stop it', but after working hard without expectations, I'm so happy that a hit song called 'If you ask me what love is' came out.

Following this momentum, the new song 'As It Is' will be released on the 2nd. It is an unreleased song performed by Roy Kim at his solo concert 'Roy Note' in 2023, and has been re-arranged into a band sound suitable for this spring. I have high expectations because it is a song aimed at spring after 'Spring, Spring, Spring, Spring' and 'Even When Spring Comes'.

Roy Kim "Spring Spring" is a song that has been released for 13 years. The most embarrassing thing is that when my friends sing my song at karaoke, the music video of 'Spring Spring Spring' comes out. I don't know if it's because it went well or if it hasn't been updated, but it's a song that means a lot to me nonetheless. Whenever spring comes, my voice comes out on many people's playlists with this song, and I'm happy to see me. Since then, I have released 'Even When Spring Comes', and I think the season of spring always brings me great happiness because you love me," he said with a smile.

In addition, it seems contrived to have the mind to beat 'Spring Spring', saying that we should continue the spring series and make 'Spring Season Song' by writing lyrics that contain spring. At that time, I try to be flexible with the songs I write. If I think I'm doomed if I don't do well every time, I think my passion for music will disappear and my heart will break. I will walk slowly thinking that even the smallest movement is a happy life."

At the same time, he told me about season songs aimed at summer, autumn, and winter as well as spring. Roy Kim once did a different season song. But all of them didn't work. 'Love Love Love' is a summer song and 'The Big Dipper' is a winter song. There was also a song called "It's Christmas Day". 'We Go High' was also written for the summer, and it seemed like a huge ambition to have a season song. You can't just say that you have to do it unconditionally. I don't feel like I have to make money by making hit songs. When I talk about what I want to say, it suddenly seems to be a season song. If you ask me what love is, he confessed that he was called a man of autumn when it went well, and if it went well in spring, he was said to be a man of spring again."

Roy Kim's new single 'As It Is' will be released on various online music sites at 6 p.m. on April 2.
