Asides
He currently teaches students at Soundist Academy [In korean: ì“´ëÂÂì¤Ã¸ìÂÂì¹´ë°미] (formerly Cheonyuzon [In Korean: ì²Âì 존]), a voice actor academy. Jeong Jae-heon and Hong Beom-gi were some of the students who received his teachings.

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 "ê·¸ë° ì§Âì ÃÂÂì§ ë§ÂìÂÂì¼ ÃÂÂëÂÂë° ()". 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.
