Biography.

The singing group, Monday Kiz, is made up of two 1985ers, Kim Min-soo and Lee Jinsung. The two had met in an audition back in 2004. Their team name, Monday Kiz, was at first Monday Kids as they claimed their first recording in a studio was on a Monday. However, they didn’t want to be known as another SG Wannabe, so they dropped the “s” for the “z” because they wanted their own identity.

They debuted back in November 2005 with their title song Bye Bye Bye, written by famous song-writer Kim Dohoon, who had written songs for top singers including Wheesung, SG Wannabe and Gummy. Songwriter Jun Haesung also took part in the making of the group’s debut album. With help from big names in the music industry, Monday Kiz created a feel-good musical style which mixes pop, groove, and R&B rhythms. Their debut performance on Dec 18 at SBS’ Inkigayo floored the audience with their flawless renditions.

The boys released their second album, El Condor Pasa, with relatively low-key promotion in 2007, but they climbed the charts via word of mouth, and most importantly, the quality of their music. Their soothing voices made hits out of mid-tempo R&B ballads such as A Man (composed by Kim Do Hoon and Min Myung Ki) and Bad Man, and the emotional Leaving Before My Eyes. They also released a Music 2.0 Special Edition later that year, and then another single, Incompletion, in October.

Monday Kiz were also active in lending their emotive vocals to various soundtracks of Korean dramas. Notable songs include The Way to Your Heart for the SBS drama “Smile Again”, which starred Kim Hee Sun and Lee Dong Gun; Monologue, the ending title song for MBC drama “New Heart”; and Michin Sarang for KBS drama Single Dad in Love (starring Oh Ji Ho). The talented duo also participated in the project album Voice One Single and joint album Friendship with V.O.S and Ilac.The joint album is an outstanding effort that showcases each singer’s strengths and characteristics. Lee Jinsung also showed off his creative side by penning penning and arranging the pop ballad Saranghaji Malgirl Geuletsur (“Shouldn’t Have Loved”).

Sadly, Kim Min-soo died in a car accident on April 28, 2008. The duo were in the midst of promoting their third album, Inside Story, when this unfortunate incident happened. Kim Min-soo was much loved for his powerful and husky voice. He and Lee Jinsung were well known to be crazy about music and sang like there was no tomorrow. This is yet another great loss to the Korean music industry, after the death of Turtles leader, Turtleman, earlier in April. Soompi sends its deepest condolences to Kim Min-soo’s family and friends, and fans of Monday Kiz. (Discography information credit to Soompi)
