Kim Bum-soo is a South Korean singer, regarded as one of the country's best vocalists. His discography consists of eleven studio albums and thirty four singles. He debuted in 1999 with the album A Promise and in 2001, became the first Korean to chart on the Billboard's Hot Singles Sales chart.[1][2] He is best known for the single "I Miss You" which was released in December 2002 and has sold 2,500,000 copies on Gaon.[3] Its parent album is also his most successful album to date, selling more than 170,000 copies in South Korea where it also peaked at number 6 on the Recording Industry Association of Korea's (RIAK) Monthly Album Sales chart.

After releasing his fifth album So Long..., Kim enlisted in the army to serve his mandatory military service.[4] He returned in 2008 with the album Kim Bum Soo Vol. 6. In 2011, his popularity rose after appearing on the singing competition show I Am a Singer in which he was rewarded a "meritorious graduation" by the show after winning seven consecutive times.[5][6] All of his covers from the show charted well, with his version of Lee So-ra's "Please" (제발) reaching 2.8 million copies sold on Gaon. His single "Last Love" (끝사랑) from his album Solista Part 2 was also a commercial success, selling over 2,500,000 copies on Gaon.[3] He has since released moderately successful albums and singles as the lead artist and as a featured artist and singles for various films' and television series' soundtracks. He has also collaborated with a number of artists, most notably for the single "Different" (달라) with Girls' Generation member Taeyeon which peaked at number 2 on the Gaon Digital Chart and the singles "Person, Love (사람, 사랑)" and "White Winter (하얀 겨울)" with Lena Park which charted at number 6 and 7 on the Gaon Digital Chart respectively.
