As part of K-pop heavyweights Super Junior , multi-talented performer Yesung and his bandmates stormed international charts and toured the world. As his star rose in Korea, he branched off into acting -- both onscreen and on-stage -- in the late 2000s. Once Super Junior hit a peak in popularity in the early 2010s, the smooth, silky-voiced singer struck out as a solo artist, releasing a series of EPs -- including his debut, 2016's Here I Am -- before finally issuing his first full-length, the Japanese-language Story, in 2019. Sensory Flows, the first full-length in his native Korean, landed in 2023.

Born Kim Jong-woon in Seoul, he grew up singing, competing in singing competitions as a teenager before signing up with SM Entertainment as a trainee. Adopting the stage name Yesung, he eventually was recruited as part of Super Junior in late 2005. The group issued a pair of Top Three albums before exploding in 2009 with the international hit single "Sorry, Sorry." From there, Super Junior remained a fixture on the charts in both Korea, China, and Japan. On the side, Yesung was part of subunits Super Junior-K.R.Y. and Super Junior-H, as well as a member of S.M. The Ballad. He also added acting to his resumé, appearing in television shows and stage productions.
