Male vocalist Sung Si-kyung is well-known for his warm and soft voice tone that matches perfectly with sweet love songs. Utilizing his soft and gentle image, Sung has been involved all over the showbiz industry, including some acting as well.

As an undergraduate student at the Department of Humanities of Korea University, Sung participated in a cyber song festival and won the grand prize. The winners of the song festival released a compilation album and “The Road that Leads to Me,” the song by Sung Si-kyung, became a hit. That was how Sung made his debut in the pop music world. Thanks to popularity of Sung’s song, the compilation album featuring the prize winners of the song festival, even though it was a promotional album, sold nearly 100 thousand copies. This really launched Sung Si-kyung to the top of stardom.

Many would say at the drop of a hat that Sung’s charm lies in his soft and laid-back image. Being tall with a favorable first impression, and being blessed with a soft and relaxing voice, Sung Si-kyung appeals to everyone. His fans range from the young and the old, men and women alike.

Officially though, Sung Si-kyung’s debut was in 2001 when he released his first album, “Like the First Time.” Mainly consisting of ballads, Sung’s debut album recorded 3 hits and made him the best rookie singer of the year. Participating as a guest singer on Yoo Hee-yeol of Toy’s album also contributed to his rising popularity. Sung’s second album released in 2002 was also a success, selling more than 650 thousand copies. He contintued to churn out album after album, averaging about one a year.

Like mentioned earlier, Sung did not stop at just being a singer. He appeared in television dramas and sitcoms gaining a favorable response from the public. Sung Si-kyung joined in the Hallyu Wave (international k-pop fever) by participating in various performances and appearances in other countries (i.e. Japan). He even had his own radio show for about two years called “A Blue Night And Sung Shi-kyung”.

However, the inevitable finally came for Sung, as it does for all Korean males: the mandatory military service. Sung started his compulsory service in 2008, being released in 2010. He made his long awaited comeback to his fans’ delight. One common thing that was mentioned over and over again was that Sung seemed…different. They say that the military changes a man, but it was more than that. Sung expressed that he had missed performing, music, and his fans so much that he re-entered the industry with even more gusto than before. He even held his first comeback concert in October of 2010, attracting about 6,000 people.

It’s been over ten years, but Sung is one of those singers where another ten years of steam seem like no problem. His soft music is the kind that touches the soul. He’s not called the King of Ballads for nothing!
