Love Love Love is the debut studio album by South Korean singer-songwriter Roy Kim, released and distributed on June 25, 2013, through CJ E&M Music. The album features nine tracks in total, and spawned two hit singles: the million-selling hit "Bom Bom Bom" and the lead single under the same title. Due to the album's success, Kim earned a Mnet Asian Music Award for Best New Male Artist, and a Golden Disk Award for New Rising Star Award in Disk Album.[1] [2] As of July 2016, Love Love Love has sold over 19,000 physical copies and 2.94 million individual track downloads in Kim's native country (see Roy Kim discography).

Background

Shortly after winning Mnet's talent competition series Superstar K4, it was announced that Kim was preparing to release a mini album in spring 2013.[3] However, those plans were scrapped in favor of releasing Kim's first single "Bom Bom Bom" followed by a full-length album. Upon the release of "Bom Bom Bom" in April 2013, he began recording the rest of the album.[4] In June of that year, it was announced by CJ E&M Music that the artist was in the final stages of preparing for the album.[5]

Release and promotion

On June 18, 2013, a week before the release of Love Love Love, the album's track listing was revealed, along with a teaser image.[6] In the days leading up to the release, several more teasers were released, including the making-of videos of the recording process and a music video teaser.[7] [8]

Following the release of the album, Kim appeared on Mnet's music television program M! Countdown (June 27, 2013), where he performed "Let Me Love You" and the album's title track.[9] [10] He continued to promote the album on various music shows through July of that year.

Reception

The album's pre-release single "Bom Bom Bom" topped the Gaon Digital Chart for two consecutive weeks,[11] and the now-defunct Billboard Korea K-Pop Hot 100 for three straight weeks,[12] respectively. At the end of 2013, the song was ranked at number seven (2.9%) in the top ten of Gallup Korea's "Song of the Year", tied with Im Chang-jung's "A Guy like Me" and 4Minute's "What's Your Name?".[13] According to the Gaon Music Chart, it was the fourth most successful single of 2013,[14] selling over 1.5 million digital copies that year. The song also was at number seven on the 2013 year-end Billboard Korea K-Pop Hot 100.[15]

Upon release, Love Love Love debuted at number three on the Gaon Weekly Album Chart,[16] while its title track reached number two on the Gaon Digital Chart,[17] and number four on the Billboard Korea K-Pop Hot 100.[18] "Love Love Love" became the 104th most successful single of 2013,[19] selling over 732,000 digital copies that year.[20] As of July 2016, the album has sold about 19,900 copies in Kim's native country.[21]
