Trivia

  • Kim sang some theme songs of his works, including "A New World, the opening theme for the first season of InuYasha and "Ripped Pants ", a soundtrack from SpongeBob SquarePants. The latter became popular in South Korea, through lots of Internet parodies of the lyrics beginning with "그런 짓은 하지 말아야 했는데 ". These parodies were used as a satire of someone for doing what should not have been done as near as the person is not stupid.
