Career
After completing his military service, Kim Yeon-woo debuted in 1995 by winning the 7th annual Yoo Jae-ha Music Competition. In 1996, Kim Yeon-woo became the featured vocal of You Hee-Yeol's project band Toy. You Hee-Yeol at that time thought Kim Yeon-woo's birth name of Kim Hak-chul didn't really go well with his music, so they decided to change it to Kim Yeon-woo, after the name of a cafe You Hee-Yeol frequented. They would go on to record a number of hits such as Still Beautiful and Remember I Was Next to You.
Since leaving Toy, Kim Yeon-woo has published four solo albums.
In 2010, Kim was noted in the media after he performed in the rain holding an umbrella at a college concert, when reportedly all the other singers quit the concert after it started raining.
In 2011, Kim was a participant in I Am a Singer. Though he was voted off shortly, Kim found more success in two other guest appearances in the contest. He and Kim Kyung Ho were voted second in the duet part of the contest and concert, and during the Australian contest/concert of I Am a Singer, Kim was voted first.
In 2015, Kim was once again a participant in I Am a Singer. Though he was voted off shortly, Kim found more success in a guest appearance duet performance with Yangpa and was again voted second in the duet part of the contest. He also appeared on mystery music show King of Mask Singer and was crowned as Mask King for four generations under the stage name CBR Cleopatra.
