Roy Kim: The Icon of Hard Work in the Second Half of the Year

Roy Kim has become the icon of hard work in the latter half of the year.

Since last month, Roy Kim has been actively engaging with fans by performing at various university festivals and events. Starting with the 'Someday Festival' on September 13, he has graced the stages of Yonsei University, Hanyang University, Myongji University, Woosuk University, Seoil University, and Silla University. In October, he performed at Hankyong National University and Busan National University of Education, delivering his hit songs like 'Spring Spring Spring,' 'Only Then,' 'The Great Dipper,' and 'If You Ask Me What Love Is.' His warm and lyrical performances have painted campuses with the colors of autumn.

Additionally, on September 20, he participated in the 'Stage Name' omnibus concert in Busan alongside Kim Feel and Sam Kim. He also made an impact at the Suncheon Cultural City regional festival.

Despite the rush of performances, Roy Kim's musical journey continues. He is set to release a new single, 'Can't Express in Words,' on October 27, marking his return with new music after approximately six months. This new track is a sequel to 'If You Ask Me What Love Is,' released last October, and serves as the prologue to his 'Love Saga 2-Part Series,' singing about a fateful encounter and heralding the start of a new story.

Previously, in April, Roy Kim delivered a warm resonance with 'As You Are,' and since his debut, he has consistently expanded his musical world with acoustic sounds and lyrical lyrics. With this new single, he is expected to showcase even deeper emotions.

Meanwhile, Roy Kim will continue the excitement with a year-end solo concert following his comeback. From December 12 to 14, he will hold a solo concert titled '2025-26 Roy Kim LIVE TOUR [ja, daumm]' at the Olympic Handball Gymnasium in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul, offering fans a special year-end celebration.
