Roy Kim’s 6 summer English covers, from Oasis to Radiohead
Songs in another language posted on his official channel in July and August
Hear Roy Kim’s voice, familiar from Korean ballads, on English songs. These are six covers posted on his official channel from July 23 to August 27, 2026. Songs by Kodaline, Oasis, Stephen Sanchez, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, and Radiohead play out in close-up shots of his workspace. They range from about two and a half minutes to just under five, so you can watch one short video and take a break, or listen to all six in a row. If you love the originals, it’s fun to hear familiar melodies in a different voice; if they’re new to you, it’s a chance to discover new artists. This summer selection of videos was released separately from his spring album of Korean song remakes.
Roy Kim — All I Want — Kodaline Cover
A cover of Kodaline’s ‘All I Want’, released on July 23, 2026. You can hear Roy Kim sing in English in a shot showing his workspace and mic. For about 4 min 37 sec, it’s worth noticing how the tone you remember from his Korean songs sounds in another language. It also suits anyone who prefers the intimate mood of sitting at a desk to stage outfits and lighting. If you already know the Kodaline song, listen while recalling the parts you loved in the original. If it’s new to you, remember the title so you can move on to the original. It’s the video that kicks off this collection of summer covers.
Roy Kim — Don’t Look Back in Anger — Oasis Cover
A cover of Oasis’s ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’, posted on the official channel on July 30. At about 4 min 58 sec, it’s the longest of the six videos released in summer 2026. If you’ve listened to the band’s original for years, focus on the difference the familiar melody takes on with Roy Kim’s pronunciation and tone. The close-up shot of his face and workspace creates a different experience from big concert videos. ‘Wonderwall’ in the same collection is also an Oasis song, so you could start by picking just those two. It’s the central video when you want to explore Roy Kim’s song choices through a single original artist.
Roy Kim — Until I Found You — Stephen Sanchez Cover
A video of Roy Kim singing Stephen Sanchez’s ‘Until I Found You’, released on August 6, 2026. At 2 min 36 sec, it’s the shortest of the six English covers, easy to watch to the end even during a quick break. His relaxed look in glasses and the workspace backdrop add to the feeling of hearing the song up close. If you’re curious about his voice in a language other than his recent ballads but long content feels like too much, make it your first pick. If you know the original, listen for which line’s expression sticks with you in that short time. If you like it, add another cover to stretch out your listening time.
Roy Kim — Falling Slowly — Glen Hansard·Markéta Irglová Cover
Roy Kim — Falling Slowly — Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová Cover
A video released on August 13, 2026 in which he sings Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová’s ‘Falling Slowly’. Remembering both original artists’ names also helps when you look for other versions of this song. For about 4 min 31 sec, follow Roy Kim’s voice and look for passages in the familiar melody that sound new. Seeing him in his workspace wearing a cap and headphones gives this cover a mood distinct from TV stages. It’s good to watch after the short ‘Until I Found You’ when you want to stay with a song a bit longer. We recommend it to listeners who enjoy comparing how different singers interpret a song.
Roy Kim — Creep — Radiohead Cover
A cover of Radiohead’s ‘Creep’, released on August 20, 2026. For those who have mostly listened to Roy Kim’s Korean ballads, the change of original band alone is a reason to broaden their interest. The video runs 4 min 32 sec and lets you follow the breath of a whole song rather than a short highlight. Watching him sing in front of the mic, feel what impression his familiar tone makes on this song. If there’s a part of the original you loved, it’s fun to wait for that passage as you listen. It’s a cover worth picking when you want to find English selections beyond bright seasonal songs first.
Roy Kim — Wonderwall — Oasis Cover
Released on August 27, ‘Wonderwall’ is the last video in this collection of English covers. Like ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’, it’s an Oasis song, but at about 3 min 22 sec it’s a shorter listen. Watching the two back to back, you can decide which of the same band’s melodies is closer to your taste. The video shows him singing in his workspace wearing a black cap and headphones. It suits anyone who wants to start with songs by a band they love rather than get to know all six. If you’ve listened all the way from late July to here, go back once to the cover that stayed with you most.
If you like Oasis, listen to ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ and ‘Wonderwall’ as a pair. For a quick break, the shortest one, ‘Until I Found You’, is easy, and if you want to stay with a song’s flow for longer, the other four-minute-plus videos fit. It’s also worth noticing what stays with you differently when you listen with the original in mind versus following only Roy Kim’s interpretation. After watching all six, pick one song you didn’t know at first and carry on to the original artist’s music.
