It’s the most wonderful time of the year. In Korea, Christmas is a day for friends and family as well as a time for consuming entertainment be it Television or music.

Finally, we will also be having our Christmas special broadcast on December 21 and to view our previous K-pop Christmas Broadcasts make sure to check out our Spotify and Mixcloud page.

Roy Kim – It’s Christmas Day

There are few voices in Korea better than Roy Kim. Known for his angelic vocals, the musician has had a successful career featuring on some of the biggest OSTs and appearing on some of Korea’s biggest singing competition shows; there aren’t many people who don’t know Roy Kim.

Released from the infamous year 2014, “It’s Christmas Day” is a perfect ballad and break from the other releases in this advent calendar. Typically a power vocalist, the song takes a more simple ballad approach filled with raspy vocals and a powerful instrumental. The music video shows Roy Kim playing the piano and guitar; the song again shows his genius and talent.

It is a surprise that the song hasn’t been featured as part of a Christmas movie or drama; however, with Roy Kim’s talent, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this man on an OST for a Christmas-themed film or drama in the future.
