Kim is scheduled to perform in Chicago, New York and Australia in September. He also plans on touring eight U.S. states in the spring of 2013.
The rock-ballad singer performed at the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles, California, on July 22 to a sold-out audience.
Recently, Kim received the U.S. President’s Volunteer Award from President Barak Obama.
“My focus is on publicizing Korea and myself. I am not interested in fame or making money,” said Kim in an interview with a local daily.
