ZE:A member Kevin’s (23) past has become a hot issue on the internet.

On March 27th, on an online community, someone posted about Kevin’s past in Australia, during which he opened a charity concert. There was a collection of articles detailing on how he performed for such charity concerts under his Korean name, Kim Ji Yeob.

According to the post, in November of 2004, Kevin opened a charity concert in an auditorium at the Sydney Epping Boys High School. Kevin had revealed, “I wanted to be at least a little bit helpful to the sick children, so I prepared this performance.” Kevin is known to have received a major operation when he was just 3 years old for a disease called biliary ectasia. Sympathizing with sick children, he donated $2000 in 2004, which was before his debut.

There’s even more to his amazing past. Kevin immigrated to Australia in 1997, and for 2 years from 2001, he was a part of the Sydney Angels Choir. He toured Korea and Japan with the group, and it’s widely known that he was under Bedford & Pearce Management, the same management as famous Australian actor Russell Crowe, during his stay at Australia.

Kevin’s mom was also a singer in the 80’s under the name Yoon Ae so it seems Kevin has inherited his musical ability from his mother.

Netizens who read about Kevin’s admirable past were very impressed.

It's great meeting a teacher who always scold Russel Crowe.
I went to that school that teacher & Russel Crowe was at.
Heard he was a bad-ass. XD

This article touched me so greatly in all aspects! This is one of many reasons why Kevin is my top ZE:A bias! He's truly a sweetheart! ♥

I didn't know his mom was a singer too. How awesome is that! At least I get to learn new things about Kevin. :D

My thoughts exactly. I had looked at the headliner through my phone (I was on my break during class) and I thought it'd be something bad that my heart was ready to sink. I knew it'd be his charity concert, but my heart sank again when I read about him having surgery at such a young age. Poor baby Kevin. :(

At first I was like 'But performing at charity concerts surly isn't that shocking.' Then I read on and was like 'Oh'.

Kevin = not just a pretty voice or sexy voice when singing certain english songs.

*off to listen to his english covers*

MTE... I was all, isn't this old news already, until i read the part about him having his surgery & his mom being a singer.

I just love Kevin's voice, period, whether he sings or simply talks. XD

Oh, really?
I actually knew him. I went to camp with him. He'd been clear about how he'd wanted to be an idol singer then too. That sounds pretty decent of him, although I know he was more uh ... outgoing with teh ladies. Sweet of him though, didn't know that side of him.
