During the interview, he constantly showcased his ability to turn tension into energy while focusing on what comes next. It’s precisely this steadfast determination that allowed him to gradually build his name even amid the competitive world of trot music.
Rising from his elimination in TV Chosun's 'Miss Trot' to securing the final 5th place in 'Miss Trot 2', Kim has established himself as a symbol of relentless challenge. Captivating audiences with his 'Capsaicin Voice', he pushed the boundaries of genre through collaborations with composer Kim Hyung-seok last year. Although he faced disappointment by being eliminated in the first round of MBN's 'King of the Current' showcase, he earned recognition as an 'unexpected eliminator', leaving a lasting impression.
While Kim captures the audience with his charismatic stage presence, he remains calm and grounded off-stage. Acknowledging that “this is the hardest period of my life”, he maintains a positive outlook by stating that “there’s always a way back”. With the upcoming release of his new song 'Bad Guy', he embraces failures as opportunities for growth, showcasing his unwavering spirit.
Kim Eung-young stands out as an artist with a unique charm in the trot genre, especially accentuated by his strong charisma on stage. His 'Capsaicin Voice' captivates the audience through intense performances, proving his musical talent. However, his demeanor off-stage emphasizes the significance of heartfelt communication with fans, reinforcing his identity as a musician.
As evidenced by his recent challenges, Kim demonstrates the ability to turn crises into opportunities. Even after his elimination from 'King of the Current', he manages his emotions adeptly and moves toward new goals. This illustrates his self-discipline and preparation, serving as an inspiration to his fans.
Kim’s journey symbolizes more than just personal growth; it represents the ongoing evolution of trot music. His songs convey messages of comfort and instill a sense of challenge, positioning him as a pivotal part of the Korean music industry.
