Lim Chang-jung (Korean: 임창정; born November 30, 1973) is a South Korean singer-songwriter and actor.[3] He is often referred by Koreans as "the original multi-entertainer" for being active in all three fields: music, film and entertainment. He made his acting debut in 1990 and his singing debut in 1995. Im has since released 17 full-length albums[4] and is known for his hit songs that are vocally challenging to sing.[5] He is the only artist in South Korea who has songs that reached number one on the local music charts in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s.[6] He was selected as Singer of the Year and his song "The Love I Committed" was selected as Song of the Year in the surveys conducted by Gallup Korea in 2016.[7]
