Since the release of his Chinese rendition of the hit track “Cloudy Day” by Singaporean singer Stefanie Sun in June, his popularity has grown in other Asian countries, including Taiwan and Malaysia, where he topped the weekly music chart on the country’s leading radio station One FM.
After emerging as the winner of the fourth season of Mnet’s singing audition program “Superstar K” in 2012, Kim gained wide popularity with his first studio album “Love Love Love” in 2013.
