Singer BMK (51, real name Kim Hyun-jung) has been revealed to be working as a music teacher for visually impaired students.

On the 29th, JTBC's "Close-Up Camera" broadcast BMK's daily life conducting music classes at the Seoul National School for the Blind.

Currently, BMK serves as a music teacher at the Seoul National School for the Blind, teaching students to sing. The school is an educational institution where students who have lost their sight due to illness or accidents prepare for new lives, with many students continuing their studies with the goal of obtaining massage therapist certification.

BMK learned about the school through an acquaintance and, wishing to give music as a gift to the students, personally proposed opening music classes. After going through a formal interview process, he was hired as a teacher and is reportedly conducting classes 20 times per semester for the second year.

Students unanimously agreed that music has become a great comfort in their lives through BMK's classes. One student said, "When I sing, I can feel light even without sight," while another shared, "The world usually feels gray to me, but when I listen to music, it feels pink. My heart becomes peaceful and beautiful."

Notably, the students revealed that they only recently learned BMK is a famous singer. They expressed gratitude, saying, "We always like his smiling face and can feel his sincerity in class."

BMK also offered heartfelt encouragement to the students through music. He said, "Even after the song ends, you must follow along with your heart until the accompaniment finishes for the song to be complete," and added, "If you accept yourself as you are, dream first, and believe in it, then anyone has possibilities."

Meanwhile, BMK debuted in 2003 with his first album "No More Music" and gained love for his outstanding vocal abilities. In 2011, he married Maxy Lary Dierel, a former U.S. Army Black Hawk pilot.
