Sinawe
editKim became the fifth vocalist of legendary heavy metal/rock band Sinawe, formed by guitarist Shin Daechul, son of Shin Junghyeon, in October 1995. His first release with them was the 1996 mini album Circus. He holds the record for the longest-serving vocalist of the band to date.

Nicknamed 'The Maestro of Rock Vocalists,' Kim is known for his unchanging expression while he performs.[2]

In 2010, he was a professor in the department of applied music at Seoul Arts College.[4] In 2012, he reunited with Sinawe to participate in MBC's I Am a Singer 2.[5] From 2013 to 2014, he also appeared on KBS's Immortal Songs 2.[6][7]
