1) Kim Bum Soo (also known as Astro Bits, 아스트로 비츠, bk, bk!) is a South Korean electronic musician born 1970. He studied music in Japan and won Ryuichi Sakamoto's Music Audition by J-Wave in 1996.
He was part of Yoon Sang's band papermode that appeared in credits on Yoon Sang's 2nd album Part 2, but he went solo after Yoon Sang's enlistment and papermode's dissolution. In 1996 he released his solo album Guardian Angel under the name Kim Bum Soo. He released several albums under the name Astro Bits, and also participates in audio mastering under the name bk! for artists such as Park Jiyoon, Sunwoo Jung Ah, Stellar, YUKIKA, Ladies' Code, Casker and others.
2) 김범수 (Kim Bum Soo), born January 26, 1979, is a South Korean R&B and soul singer famous for his smooth vocals and emotive ballads.
Particularly, he is noted for the song 보고싶다 (Bo go ship da), the title of which means 'I miss you' in English. This song became the theme song of Korean drama 천국의 계단 (Stairway to Heaven).
Kim Bum Soo is the first Korean artist to make a mark on the North American music charts, with his song 'Hello Goodbye Hello' making the US Billboard chart in 2003.
Soo decided upon pursuing a music career at the age of 20, inspired and encouraged after singing with the local church choir throughout his youth.
At Seoul Institute of the Arts, Joongbu University, he majored in music. Shortly after graduating, Soo attended an audition, where he landed a recording contract with the label 'Team Entertainment'. Subsequently, his debut album was not released for another two years.
Prior to 'Bo go ship da', another of Soo's songs, 'Promise', from the album of the same name, had also been used for the popular MBC drama, 'Watch and Watch Again'. (1999) establishing Soo's staple image as a ballad singer. Critic and writer Catherine Chan recals the feeling surrounding the song as a, 'sentimental lovers' favorite', describing how the song 'had all the ingredients - a tender voice, lovely melody and dreamy lyrics.' (source: http://www.koreahkfriendship.org)
Soo's most recent album, 'Remember Kim Bum Soo 5th & So Long...' (2003) was so titled as a reference to the fact that Soo released it right before he was about to start his two-year compulsory military service. This is in accordance with Korean law.
Just prior to beginning his service, Soo had produced the song 오아시스 (Oasis), which was only finally released as a track on his 5th album.
The song has a slightly more commercially American R&B feel than the bulk of his music, demonstrating the stylistic growth Soo has experienced over the years.
On Soo's 5th album, he also pays homage to those that have inspired and influenced him on the track, 'Like'. Amongst those he names are Stevie Wonder, Eric Benet, Brian McKnight, Babyface, R Kelly, Mary J. Blige and Lenny Kravitz.
He has also incorporated covers of songs by some of these artists in his live concerts. Noticabley Stevie Wonder's 'Lately' and R Kelly 'I Believe I Can Fly'.
The first and only of his albums to be produced in the US, 'Remember Kim Bum Soo 5th & So Long...' also references Soo's connection to the Christian faith, with the, gospel inspired, CCM track, 'The One In My Life'. The song clearly alludes back to Soo's childhood church choir days, giving the 'goodbye-and-remember-themed' album a nostalgic sense of 'ending at the beginning'.
Soo continues to do performances in several countries within East Asia, but also in other parts of the world; notably, North America where the popularity of Korean pop culture (drama and music) has skyrocketed within the last decade. Past events have been held in Hawaii, New York and Los Angeles and Boston, as well as in parts of Canada.

김범수 Lyrics
A Love Begins from Confession sarangeun sori eobsi chajawa nae gaseumeul tteollige mandeul…
Appear 왜 내 눈 앞에 나타나 왜 니가 자꾸 나타나 두 눈을 감고…
Appearance 그럴려고 그랬어 돌아가려고 너의 차가움엔 그래 다 이유 있었던거야 나를 만지는 너의…
CASANOVA Baby, I ain't never felt this way|But girl I like…
I love You 아무 말 못한 채 오늘도 그대만 바라봐요 가슴에 맺힌 못다한 얘기들이 그대를…
In Front of Your House 오 나 오늘도 여기 서있어 술 취한 널 바래다주고 혼자서 걸어내려 오던 너의…
Last Love 내가 이렇게 아픈데 그댄 어떨까요 원래 떠나는 사람이 더 힘든 법인데 아무 말하지…
Miss You 아무리 기다려도 난 못 가 바보처럼 울고 있는 너의 곁에 상처만 주는…
Ni Ga Nal Dduh Na 우리에게도 올수 있구나 이별이 올줄 몰랐었구나 나의 사랑이 부족했나봐 모자랐나봐 모두 미안해 허나 남으로…
The Last Love 내가 이렇게 아픈데 그댄 어떨까요 원래 떠나는 사람이 더 힘든 법인데 아무 말하지…
끝사랑 내가 이렇게 아픈데 그댄 어떨까요 원래 떠나는 사람이 더 힘든 법인데 아무 말하지…
나타나 왜 내 눈 앞에 나타나 왜 니가 자꾸 나타나 두 눈을 감고…
니가 날 떠나 우리에게도 올수 있구나 이별이 올줄 몰랐었구나 나의 사랑이 부족했나봐 모자랐나봐 모두 미안해 허나 남으로…
보고싶다 아무리 기다려도 난 못 가 바보처럼 울고 있는 너의 곁에 상처만 주는…
