Korean singer Kim to perform at the UN on June 23

Korean singer Kim Jong-seo, a longtime rock and pop icon, is scheduled to perform at the United Nations Public Service Awards ceremony on June 23 at the UN Headquarters in New York City.

The annual ceremony recognizes excellence in public service, including institutional contributions made by public servants and organizations that enhance the role, professionalism, and visibility of public service. Kim was selected from a wide pool of talented singers to perform.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, also of the Republic of Korea, is scheduled to attend the event. As secretary general, Ban has extolled the virtues of public service.

“Kim is thrilled to have the chance to introduce Korean pop culture where diplomats, political leaders, and other government officials will be present,” the singer’s agency said.

Kim left the stage 8 months ago to work on his mini album and plans to return in July. Born February 23, 1965, Kim debuted in 1984 as a member of the group Sinawe, one of the country’s first heavy metal ensembles. Kim has also been a member of the groups Ten Plus and Charisma, in later years.

After the break up of Sinawe, Kim and Park Hyun-jun created Charisma. Kim later rejoined Sinawe and released their fourth album, working together with Seo Tae-ji.

Kim participated in making the song Free Style on the album Seo Tae-ji and Boys. After he went solo in 1992, Kim gained wide popularity because of “shout vocalism,” his style of singing in a high-pitched voice.
