Eddy Kim, who has been on hiatus for 5 years, is finally making a comeback... Beer meeting with Yoon Jong-shin and Jo Jung-chi

The current status of singer Eddy Kim, who has been on hiatus since 2019, has been captured.

Singer Yoon Jong-shin recently posted a photo with guitarists Jo Jung-chi and Eddy Kim, saying, “Night drinking in Pyeongchang-dong.” In the photo, Yoon Jong-shin, Jo Jung-chi, and Eddy Kim look comfortable and happy while drinking beer together. Eddy Kim is also smiling with an expression that has not changed much from before. In another photo, Eddy Kim draws attention by taking a photo with Jo Jung-chi while wearing a calyx and a fresh expression.

This post also captures welcome comments from fans, such as “Come back, Eddie Kim,” and “It’s been a while, Eddie Kim. I hope you repay me with good music.” Accordingly, interest in whether Eddy Kim, who met Yoon Jong-shin and Jo Jung-chi, will make a comeback with new music has also increased.

Eddy Kim is affiliated with Mystic Story, led by Yoon Jong-shin, and is a member of the same agency as Jo Jung-chi. Eddy Kim, who showed his musical talent through Mnet's 'Superstar K4', joined hands with Yoon Jong-shin in late 2013 and debuted in 2014. Their debut album ‘How to Use You’ received a great response from music fans. 'Paldang Dam', released later, is considered his biggest hit song as its experimental and unique music world resonates.

Since then, he has continued to pursue music activities, including a remake of Group Shop's 'My Lips Like Warm Coffee' with actor Lee Sung-kyung, but has been on hiatus since April 2019. In the background is the Burning Sun Gate. Singer Jung Joon-young, with whom Eddy Kim was close, was embroiled in a case of illegally filming and distributing sex videos, and suspicions were raised that Eddy Kim was in the group chat room in question.

In relation to this, Mystic Story stated, "It has been confirmed that Eddie Kim himself has never filmed or distributed illegal videos such as hidden cameras. However, he was investigated after it was confirmed that he uploaded a provocative photo that was circulating online." It has been reported. Afterwards, Eddy Kim was not charged with illegal filming and was sent to indictment on charges of distribution of general pornography. The agency emphasized, "During the course of the investigation, it was confirmed that the KakaoTalk chat room that Eddy Kim belonged to was a separate chat room held as a hobby, unrelated to the chat room in question where illegal footage was shared."
