During an accompanying interview, Roy Kim candidly discussed his YouTube channel, 'Roykim Sangwoo,' where he openly shares his authentic self. "I'm glad that the gap between my life as Roy Kim and my private life has narrowed. I think I disliked the existence of 'Roy Kim' as a separate person from me," he shared. "I used to hear comments like 'cold,' 'quiet,' or 'sharp,' but people are often surprised when they meet me and find I'm quite the opposite."

He further explained, "I needed a channel to show that I'm not like that. Plus, the process of planning content while thinking, 'What should I do next? What points do people enjoy?' is genuinely fun." He confessed, "The ultimate reason for starting 'Roykim Sangwoo' is to promote my music further. I wanted to honestly show what kind of mindset I have and what I think about to create this music. I hope more people will discover and listen to my songs, for any reason."

This photoshoot transcends mere fashion, serving as a bridge between the charismatic musician on stage and the human side of Kim Sang-woo in his daily life.

Meanwhile, Roy Kim is actively engaging with fans through various festivals and performances, while also expanding his musical spectrum by participating as a composer, lyricist, and producer for new songs by artists like Lim Young-woong, Lee Chan-won, and actor Choo Young-woo.
