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.

잠깐만 방금 빛이 번쩍했어
Hmm 눈부신 그녀가 내 곁을 지날 때 (yeah yeah)
까만 저 피부가 정말로 완벽해 (uh uh uh uh uh)
그녀는 달콤한 초콜릿 같잖아 hey
잠깐만요 달콤한 향기가요
미치게 만들지를 마요 더 꿈을 꾸게 해요
내 코끝에 가만히 닿아요 그대의 달콤한 향기가요
Uh wo my chocolate girl, my chocolate girl
Hmm 꿈꾸는 것 같아 조금 두려운걸
한참을 넋놓고 바라보다 나 약속시간 늦겠어
잠깐만요 달콤한 향기가요
초콜릿을 끼얹나요 날 간질간질
미치게 만들지를 마요 더 꿈을 꾸게 해요
내코끝에 가만히 닿아요 그대의 달콤한 향기가요
정말 난 그댈 간절히 원해요 지금 가지 말아요
참 그댄 달콤하게 약오르게 또 간지럽게
아슬아슬 날 살금살금 미치게만 들죠
잠깐만요 달콤한 향기가요
초콜릿을 끼얹나요 날 간질간질
미치게 만들지를 마요 더 꿈을 꾸게 해요
내 코끝에 가만히 닿아요 그대의 달콤한 향기가요
Yeah wo-oh-wo chocolate girl
Yeah 약올라 간지러워 아슬아슬
살금살금 아 나 미치겠어
