kiimsunha Facts:
— She was born in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.
— Education: Howon University (Practical Music department).
— She majored in vocals, but now also seems to have a K-Pop major.
— She isn’t a religious person.
— She can play the piano, guitar and bass.
— She enjoys watching Netflix shows in her free time.
— She started deciding on her career path when she was in high school.
— She was a student who liked singing until middle school. Whenever she wanted to practice singing, she’d wait for her parents to be away and her house was empty.
— By then, she’d never thought of showing her talent to others. She wouldn’t even dare to do it as a major or as a career.
— When she was preparing to enter high school, a very close friend of hers went to take an art exam. That’s when she took a foreign language exam. When she came out after the exam, she felt a sense of jealousy towards her friend. She thought the path was preparing for wasn’t what she wanted and she should try to do music instead.
— After careful discussion with her parents, she decided to pursue her current career path. By then, she thought she was lucky to get into Practical Music early.
— She originally liked playing musical instruments. When she was in school, she was under the impression that vocals “felt like they’re on a remote island.”
— When she was an undergraduate in college, she thought that friends of hers who played musical instruments shared harmony and rhythm, but they often didn’t know vocals very well. At the same time, though, she believed those who play musical instruments communicate well with each other as they play together.
— She doesn’t think she can do more than one thing at a time when it comes to making music. She usually focuses on singing when she performs.
— She believes that, if someone is really good performing during a recording session, it will take little time.
— She’s loved writing since she was a child. She started some novels; however, she doesn’t seem to have finished any yet. She also used to keep diaries.
— She began composing music when she was in university.
— There are times when she starts writing lyrics from what she’s written, and there are times when she’s writing with other people.
— Sometimes, she doesn’t just write lyrics, but also takes charge of melody and harmony. Though little rare in my style, but she also writes the melody or harmony first and then add the lyrics at a later stage.
— She’s trying to write more songs with English lyrics. In that case, she adds the melody only after finishing lyrics.
— Usually, she can attach Korean lyrics well while humming, but English lyrics don’t come to her mind. So, she puts the melody together and then adds the English lyrics to it. Alternatively, she use ChatGPT to aide herself.
— She likes going backpacking on her own.
— She once thought she should write a song in English many people would be familiar with, so that they don’t necessarily have to interpret it.
— When writing lyrics, she thinks the nuance of certain words in a specific context and pronunciation are the most important.
— Since she likes to write, she thinks there is a sensibility that can be intuitively conveyed just by pronunciation. She’s careful about it when singing so that the listener can understand a song without looking at its lyrics. In particular, for those who don’t know Korean, the melody and arrangement are the first things to be heard.
— She likes contemporary jazz, so she’d like to try it. Apart from playing it, she also enjoys reading/watching manhwas.
— When listening to music, she often feels like she’s unconscious. To her, it’s especially good to listen to talented performers expressing themselves as they want without a standardized framework. That’s why she thinks she’s influenced by that kind of music.
— She was originally a vocalist who’d “scream” a lot. She’d find pleasure in singing high notes. She loved Beyoncé then.
— She likes Gretchen Parlato. She appreciates her because she’s a vocalist who sings without too much effort.
— She thinks her inspiration used to be ordinary pain. She agree with most people saying that when one’s in trouble, they’re good at writing songs. But when someone works full-time job, they can’t write songs only when they’re in trouble.
— She believes there used to be a lot of pain on her end, so she think there were a lot of songs of hers that came out of pain.
— She tries to set a time and write songs on a daily basis to make a habit. She gets inspired by what people said when watching YouTube or other social media.
— She’s convinced she writes songs based on people’s perspective and everyday things.
— The songs she’s released so far have a lot of autobiographical stories. She was looking inside herself as she created them.
— She wants to “look outside more in the future.” She wants to send a message to listeners that they are not alone and “should be happy together.”
— She’s sure each listener has different feelings, just like how she started writing lyrics. She put her honest feelings into her songs and hopes her audience can “enjoy it with their own hearts.”
— She hopes to be remembered as a musician who doesn’t hesitate to try various musical instruments and take on new challenges.
— She also hopes to try her hand at playing musical instruments, as well as crossover with Korean traditional music, in future releases.
— She has a YouTube channel where, apart from her releases, she posts covers and vlogs among other contents.
