Finally! The
multi-talented South Korean singer-songwriter, Roy Kim came to Malaysia for the
first time for his promo tour. Thanks to Warner Music Malaysia which is the
organizer of his promo tour in Malaysia. He greeted the local media at a press
conference which was held at Pullman Hotel, Bangsar before starting his
official schedule in Malaysia.
During the press
conference, he revealed that he actually playing Pokemon Go which is the
current trend and he reached level 7.
Roy Kim mentioned
that he wrote his very own first song during his high school years for an
assignment and he never showed it to his parents before. He started composing
as his hobby and later on it became his job. Through music, he is able to
travel around the world which he enjoys a lot. According to Roy, his
inspiration in composing song usually comes at night and when he is alone. He
also mentioned that he wrote a song the night before the press conference in his
hotel room since he was excited and kind of drunk. Since he was unable to
recall the lyrics, he told the media that he promised that he will indicate
that the song is written in Malaysia if it is released. So, stay tuned to all
Malaysian Royrose!
Throughout his
music career, he once felt that singing was tiring and was not as exciting as
before during his first year of debut. He was only 19 years old at that
time.
According
to Roy, his current favourite musician is Damien Rice and he is listening to a
lot of sad songs these days. When the emcee asked him to choose his favourite
song among all the songs he wrote, he said he could not choose as all the songs
are as precious just like his babies. After thinking for some time, he chose
“Home” from his second album as of 10.45am because the song is about his dog.
As for the hardest song he ever composed, he chose “Maybe I” (어쩌면 나) from the drama, “Oh Hae
Young Again” (또! 오해영). He took six to seven hours to
record the song.
He also revealed
the weirdest thing happened during the preparation of his third album. He was
recording “Stay” while drinking Korean liquor with his producer. They thought
the recording was successful. It turned out to be really bad when they listened
it to the following day as they were drunk. He had to re-record the song again.
Roy Kim shared
that he would like to take some time off and travel around for a tour since he
had released three full albums. For the past three years, he did not appear in
many television programmes as he did not want to be the “TV guy” and wishes to
focus more on music.
He also revealed
that he will be going back to Washington for school after a few days and only
return after three or four months. He jokingly replied “no” when he was asked
whether he is excited for school. He mentioned that people calls him vacation
singer but he was not able to rest much as a singer. Going back to university
is more like rest time for him.
We would like to
thank Warner Music Malaysia for the invitation.
