Following the success of “Sweet Dream”, in February 2018, Universe Cowards returned with “Falling Blossoms”. It was composed by Lee Sang-joon and Cha Jil-won and features lyrics written by Min, which peaked at number 15 on Gaon Digital Chart. Billboard described it as “soft pop-rock tune that grows to a soaring, emotional cacophony” and complimented how their music video was one of the most inclusive music videos South Korea’s seen in some time.

Starting from November 2018, Min became a fixed cast member of the weekly variety show Problem Child in House after successful pilot episodes.

In fall 2016, Min and Super Junior member Kim Hee-chul released a duet titled “Sweet Dream”. The two stars are known as “Universe Cowards” when they promote music, which is a name they came up with for a Knowing Bros project group. The song proved successful, topping the South Korean Gaon Digital Chart, an achievement known as “all-kill”. In 2017, “Sweet Dream” won a Best Rock Song at the MelOn Music Awards.

In December 2015, he joined JTBC’s new variety show, Knowing Bros, as a cast member along with comedians Kang Ho-dong and Lee Soo-geun. Min’s unique personality, a persona that was fresh in Korean entertainment at the time, enabled him to see a resurgence of popularity.

On April 8, 2014, Min returned to Buzz’s vocals after Buzz announced their comeback.

On March 6, 2012, after the release of his digital single “Look Back” on March 2, Min suddenly began his military service. He joined the Uijeongbu 306 supporters and served for 21 months. While Min was serving in the military band, he performed military band performances and concert train performances. On December 5, 2013, Min finished his military service and fans and Buzz members gathered and congratulated him.

On June 27, 2011, Min released his 2nd solo album “Picnic”, but it was not met with any big success. The album had many new attempts, including fast tempo and lively songs, a change from the usual rock ballad, a genre Min is known for. However, controversies involving artists from the same company, namely Shin Jung-hwan’s gambling in the Philippines, and MC Mong’s military enlistment evasion had an adverse effect on the album promotion. The controversies lead to existing fans leaving the fandom, resulting lower album sales compared to the previous album.

Min was able to get back on his feet and return to music thanks to help from a fellow acquaintance. On February 4, 2010, the mini album “Reunion” was announced officially. The title song “I Love You” is one of the most popular solo songs. Min released his digital single “It’s Alright” (March 29, 2010) and the soap opera My Life Is Beautiful OST “My Eternal Love”, but there was no follow-up activity. In October and November 2010, he participated as a guest vocalist by singing his digital single “Wounded” and “Buzz 2” album “Fuzz-Buzz”.

On December 4, 2007, Min released his first solo album “Im · pres · sive”, with the advice of Buzz members and the solicitation of his former agency. The album was not well-praised and was not that popular. On December 12, 2008, he released the digital single, “Day”, which was also not received very well. Until 2009, Min and Buzz took a hiatus. During this time, Min hardly left his house and suffered from severe depression and weight gain. He claims that during this “slump”, he drank alcohol as soon as he woke up, and drank again to fall asleep.

Buzz made their official debut with “Morning Of Buzz” on October 11, 2003. Their second studio album “Effect” included songs like “Coward”, “Thorn”, and “Travel to Me” that gained extreme popularity. In their third album “Perfect”, the song “You Don’t Know Men” was well received. On May 17, 2007, Buzz disbanded temporarily as the members, with the exception of Min, began their mandatory military service. Min was confirmed to continue solo activities while the members are serving the military. On June 25, 2007, Buzz released the single, “Love Is My Heart, Part 2”.

He signed a contract with a company in late spring 2002 and gave up on both sports and school to focus on singing. Min joined Buzz in June 2002 as the group’s vocalist. Buzz’s members practiced instruments together for two years. Min, having been added to the band later, often had to stay up at nights and practice his vocals without rest.

Min Kyung-hoon (Korean: 민경훈 ; born October 6, 1984) is a South Korean singer. He is the lead vocalist of the rock band Buzz and one-half of the duo Universe Coward with Kim Hee-chul. His first solo album, Im·pres·sive, was released on December 5, 2007. His second solo album, Picnic, was released on June 27, 2011.
