Early life
Kim dropped out of school when he decided to become a singer. During
his school days, he played bass guitar in a band. During the years 2001
and 2002 when he was 14–15, while working as a waiter in a family
restaurant, located at Jamsil-dong,
he was introduced to a new set up management company CEO. Initially he
was to debut in a 5 member group. Han Yeon of B2Y (now disbanded) was to
be the Leader and Kim the maknae (youngest member). While the group
underwent training together, they were asked by their company to debut
in China as a Hallyu project group, but the group rejected the offer and disbanded. Kim proceeded to audition for DSP Media (formerly DSP Entertainment) and became a member and leader of SS501.
