XIA made his debut in 2003 as a member of TVXQ, a boy band produced and formed by South Korean record label and talent agency S.M. Entertainment, having previously been a trainee for six years. He had released four Korean albums, four Japanese albums, thirty Japanese singles and several Korean singles during his first six years in the music industry as TVXQ. In 2009, Kim and fellow TVXQ members Kim Jaejoong and Park Yoochun filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment, arguing that their exclusive contracts were unilaterally disadvantageous towards the artists and should be invalidated. The Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of the three and granted an injunction suspending their contracts. The trio reunited and subsequently formed JYJ (formerly known as JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN in Japan). As JYJ, Kim has released one English album, one Korean album, one Japanese EP, and one Korean EP.
Kim began his solo career in 2010 with the release of Japanese single "Xiah", which peaked at number-two on Japan's Oricon singles chart. The same year, he took the role of Wolfgang in his debut musical Mozart!, receiving critical acclaim and commercial success. After the release of Xiah, Kim's solo music career was sent into hiatus because of a discord between him and his Japanese label Avex Trax that led to the sudden suspension of all his activities in Japan. In May 2012, he released his first full-length Korean solo studio album "Tarantallegra", while being represented by new management agency C-JeS Entertainment. Following the release, he embarked on his first headlining world tour. He returned with his second Korean solo studio album "Incredible", in July 2013.

내가 잘못한 걸 알면서
항상 끝나기만 기다렸었지
그들도 외로워서 날 견뎌냈겠지
이런게 나는 너무 많았어
상처는 헌 옷처럼 입기 싫었어
속이 다 썩어 가는 동안
달콤함에 허우적대며
하지만 너만큼은 달라
헤집어진 내 맘속에
이렇게 가지런히 있잖아
진짜야 베이비 내 말이
거짓말이면
난 내일 아침 죽어있을 거야
알잖아 베이비
처음과 다를 건 없어
널 케익만큼 사랑해줄게
이젠 내가 멀리가도
너무 걱정하지마
니가 있는 곳이
우리 집이야
이젠 내가 멀리가도
너무 걱정하지마
니가 있는 곳이
우리 집이야
속이 다 썩어 가는 동안
달콤함에 허우적대며
가죽만 밤새 품으려 했었지
하지만 너만큼은 달라
헤집어진 내 맘속에
이렇게 가지런히 있잖아
진짜야 베이비 내 말이
거짓말이면
난 내일 아침 죽어있을 거야
알잖아 베이비
처음과 다를 건 없어
널 케익만큼 사랑해줄게
이젠 내가 멀리가도
너무 걱정하지마
니가 있는 곳이
우리 집이야
이젠 내가 멀리가도
너무 걱정하지마
니가 있는 곳이
우리 집이야

아무 말이나 막 내뱉곤 했었지
I used to say anything that came to my mind without thinking
내가 잘못한 걸 알면서
I knew I was wrong
항상 끝나기만 기다렸었지
I always waited for it to end
그들도 외로워서 날 견뎌냈겠지
They also endured me because they were lonely
이런게 나는 너무 많았어
I had too many of these kinds of situations
상처는 헌 옷처럼 입기 싫었어
I didn't want to wear scars like old clothes
속이 다 썩어 가는 동안
While inside is completely rotting away
달콤함에 허우적대며
I struggled in the sweetness
가죽만 밤새 품으려 했었지
I tried to hold onto only leather all night long
하지만 너만큼은 달라
But you are different from others
헤집어진 내 맘속에 이렇게 가지런히 있잖아
You are neatly in my shaken heart
진짜야 베이비 내 말이 거짓말이면
Baby, it's true, if my words are lies
난 내일 아침 죽어있을 거야
I'll be dead tomorrow morning
알잖아 베이비 처음과 다를 건 없어
You know baby, it's no different from the beginning
널 케익만큼 사랑해줄게
I'll love you as much as cake
이젠 내가 멀리가도 너무 걱정하지마
Don't worry too much anymore, even if I go far away
니가 있는 곳이 우리 집이야
Where you are is our home
