Mckay Kim of Kpop Star 2
Hello everyone! How's life?^^ Today i want to talk about the 'handsome guy' from Kpop Star season 2. Can you guess who? I'm sure you'll agree with me.
*zoom in

MCKAY KIM!
Yup, he was the only contestant who made me endure to continue watching Kpop Star. If THIS Mckay Kim out, maybe I will stop watching the show who has held two times in Korea. Since his first audition, I've fallen in love in his performance when he sang his song, Month of June.
