Hwang Young Min (황영민) (born December 23, 1981), best known by his stage name Tim (팀), is a k-pop singer known for his ballads, great vocal and musical abilities and clean-cut looks; he is also known for being one of a growing number of Korean Americans in the industry. His songs are sweetly sorrowful, mostly about unrequited love or parted lovers. He has come into the spotlight as the next successor of male ballad singers in South Korea after Lee Seung Hwan and Shin Seung Hoon. Besides singing, Tim has participated as a producer and also an album designer for his third album.
Born into a Christian family in Philadelphia, with his father as a pastor for a local church, Tim was exposed to a musical environment early on as a child. At his father’s church, he naturally learned to play various instruments like the saxophone and piano. Throughout his childhood, Tim pursued musical activities in both schools and churches, as a member of the church choir and a saxophonist in the school jazz band. However, until he was picked up by an entertainment agency, he had never thought of becoming a professional singer. During his high school career, Tim also modeled and acted.
Prior to his singing debut, however, Tim was in charge of an MTV Korea program called “Tim’s World” (started in December 2, 2002) which showed documentaries on the path and struggles of new singers like himself.
The story told as by Tim has it that at the age of 20, Tim was approached by a Korean pop music producer (the son of a fellow church member). After listening to a tape, it was requested that Tim fly to Korea for a full audition to make a debut as a pop singer in Korea.
