He won a MAMA Award with Aziatix, blew up in Korea on Show Me The Money, took four years off working in HR at a shipping company, and came back to do it all again as a contestant with nothing left to prove. Koreans call him the Korean DMX. The voice that earned him that name arrived at a church retreat when he was 13, and his music teacher told him it was coming before it did. We talk about ego, reinvention, cultural appropriation, and why he's making country music now... here on the Drink of Choice.\nDrink of Choice is a long-form interview podcast hosted by restaurateur Sid Kim and entertainment lawyer Han Kim. Every guest arrives with a drink that means something to them, and that drink becomes the doorway into a much larger conversation. Built around Asian and Asian-American voices that don't always get a seat at the table, Drink of Choice is intimate, unhurried, and long overdue.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/e1F7h7nenvC5_58PvunDGmAgHy-Z-rS0XBITc4MPXho/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83NmIw/MWE4MGZhODEyMzE5/ZjljN2QxNTk5ZGUy/Mjk0Ny5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
