Biography

Kim Kwang-seok, born on January 22, 1964 is South Korean folk-rock singer from Daegu, South Korea. His early years saw him learn various musical instruments during elementary school, mastering the violin, oboe and flute, later joining the high school choir. His musical journey took shape when he became involved in the Seoul National University singing association in 1984, venturing into the student activist folk band Noraereul Channeun Saramdeul in 1987. In 1988, Kim formed the folk rock band Dongmulwon, gaining attention and support from popular singer Kim Chang-wan. The band's rise in popularity led Kim to release two albums with Dongmulwon in 1988 before pursuing a solo career. Unveiling his eponymous debut solo album in October 1989, followed by subsequent successful releases - Kim Kwang-seok 2nd (1991) and My Song (ëì ë¸ë) in 1992, these albums spawned hit tracks like âLove Has Goneâ (ì¬ëíì§ë§) and âSong of My Lifeâ (ëì ë¸ë). His ascent to fame notably occurred through live concerts and album releases rather than television appearances, and after the appearance of fourth studio album, Kim Kwang-seok 4th, in 1994, he created an indelible mark in Korean popular music history, reaching a milestone of a thousand concerts in August 1995. Tragically, Kimâs life was cut short, with the singer passing away on January 6, 1996, leaving behind a substantial legacy with an annual tribute concert drawing artists from diverse musical genres, as well as numerous posthumous albums and compilations paying homage to his enduring influence on South Korean music.
