Not a lot of people know that apart from being an award-winning actor, Kim Ji Soo is also a talented singer. The Korean star showcased his singing skills at the recent Musika Para sa Bikol: Himig ng Bayanihan, a benefit concert held in Legazpi City last December 6.
Rocking high-cut leather boots by internationally renowned footwear brand Palladium, plus stylish pieces from designer Iñigo Villegas, Ji Soo unleashed his inner rock star singing crowd favorites like Coldplay’s “Yellow” and The Calling’s “Wherever You Will Go.” He also had a duet with model and recording artist Bey; they sang the popular hit song “APT,” complete with choreography, much to the crowd’s delight.
The benefit concert, which also featured Gene Loves Jezebel, and Per Sorensen of Fra Lippo Lippi, was a fundraiser. Proceeds are going directly to typhoon relief and rehabilitation efforts in Albay. But even efore the event, Ji Soo was already showcasing his commitment to helping others by personally distributing relief packs to residents together with Ako Bicol Cong. Jil Bongalon.
Cong. Zaldy Co of Ako Bicol Party List expressed gratitude for the support from artists like Ji Soo. “On behalf of Ako Bicol Party List, we deeply thank Mr. Kim Ji Soo for his support and kindness. Napakalaking bagay po na may mga taong tulad niya na handang tumulong sa ating mga kababayan sa oras ng pangangailangan. His involvement shows that kindness knows no boundaries, and we’re grateful for his efforts to uplift the spirits of our fellow Bicolanos,” said Co.
Ji Soo, on the other hand, shared that he had a great time helping out. “It feels so good to be able to help others who are in need, and I hope I was also able to entertain people through my singing. My trip to Bicol was fun and fulfilling and I can’t wait to go back!”
