Kang Yoon-sung (born November 16, 1983 in Goyang), better known by his stage name K, is a pop singer from South Korea under contract in Japan. In 2004, after achieving little success with his first album in South Korea, K crossed over to Japan.[1] His first Japanese album, Beyond the Sea, has achieved a sales of over 300,000 copies.
