Career edit

Pre-debut edit

Prior to his debut, K.Will trained to be a singer for five years under producer Bang Si-hyuk.[8] He also worked as a "guide vocal," singing demos of songs that would ultimately be recorded by other artists including TVXQ, g.o.d. and Rain.[9] During this time, he was dubbed the "male Mariah Carey," after a video of him singing Carey's songs became popular on South Korean websites.[10]

2007–2009: Debut and Starship Entertainment edit

K.Will released his first album, Left Heart, on March 6, 2007 via Bang's label Big Hit Entertainment. Producer J.Y. Park composed the album's title song, which reached #3 on the Melon digital chart shortly after its release.[11][12] That year, K.Will also released the hit song, "Moon Setting Alone," from the War of Money soundtrack, and was voted the best new singer of 2007 in a survey of South Korean television writers.[13]

In January 2008, K.Will left Big Hit and joined his agent Kim Shi-dae's new company Starship Entertainment. On December 2, 2008, he released his first digital single under Starship, "Love 119" (a collaboration with rapper MC Mong).[14] The single reached #1 on various online music charts and ranked #2 on the KBS Music Bank chart without any promotions.[15]

K.Will released his first extended play, Dropping the Tears, featuring a title track of the same name, on March 31, 2009.[16] While promoting the album, he gave voice lessons to Lee Min-ho, the lead actor in the television series Boys Over Flowers, to prepare Lee for recording the song "My Everything" for the show's soundtrack.[17]

K.Will made his acting debut in September alongside Han Hyo-joo in the web series Soul Special.[18]

On November 5, 2009, he released his second album, Missing You.[19] The album's lead single, "Miss, Miss and Miss," was a success.[20] However the second single, "Hypnosis" featuring rapper Outsider, was banned from airing on KBS because it contained the word “mute” (Korean: 벙어리), which the network said could be degrading to people with disabilities. K.Will's agency, Starship Entertainment, said in a statement that the lyrics were meant to be a metaphor for people who can't express their feelings.[21]

In early December, K.Will performed at the 2009 Hallyu Music Festival in Sapporo and Tokyo, Japan.[22] On December 25, he held his first solo concert in Seoul.[23]

A year after his second album, K.Will released another digital single featuring Simon D and Hyorin of Sistar titled "Amazed" on January 21, 2011. The song rapidly reached to the top of the several music charts.[32] Seven weeks later, K.Will's second mini album was released and he held a live showcase, performance, and released the music video for "My Heart is Beating" in which Lee Joon (MBLAQ) and IU starred.[33] The title track of this album was an all-kill on music charts.[34] Five years since his debut, K.Will finally won the Mutizen on SBS Inkigayo.[35]

K.Will successfully completed his third solo concert, "My Heart Is Beating" at the Olympic Park Hall on June 25, 2011.[36] He has also participated several variety shows such as We Got Married with Kim Hyung Jun,[37] the drama Spy Myung Wol[38] and the reality show Immortal Songs 2 nearly the end of the year.[39]

As per tradition, he ended the year with a 3-day Christmas concert.[40]

After joining KBS TV Immortal Songs 2 in November 2011, K.Will left the show after winning three times, and set the new record, winning against 5 consecutive singers in the leaving episode on January 21, 2012.[41]

He was also the co-writer the lyrics of "I'm Will."[45] K.Will earned his first K-Chart award since his debut 6 years ago on KBS Music Bank for his track "I Need You."[46]

On October 7, Starship Entertainment revealed some photos of K.Will's recent photoshoot for his upcoming album.[47] The album Third Album, Part 1 was released on October 11 along with the MV for "Please Don't...", the title track. Promotions for "Please Don't..." were the most successful in K.Will's career to date. The music video starred Seo In-guk, Sistar's Dasom, and Ahn Jae-hyun, and was praised for its originality.
