BM (rapper)

Matthew Kim (born October 20, 1992), known by his stage name BM or Big Matthew, is an American rapper, songwriter and composer based in South Korea signed under DSP Media. He is best known for his activities with the South Korean co-ed group Kard. He made his debut as a solo artist on June 9, 2021, with the single "Broken Me".

BM was born in Los Angeles, California on October 20, 1992. BM moved to South Korea in 2011 in order to audition and take part in the first season of the SBS reality competition show K-pop Star. He entered within the top 50 of the competition, before eventually being eliminated. Due to his then poor Korean language skills, he forgot the lyrics during his audition on several occasions. After K-pop Star, he was recruited by DSP Media. He was featured in Goo Hara's song "La La La" from her 2015 debut EP Alohara (Can You Feel It?) and was her dance partner for the music video and live performances of its lead single "Choco Chip Cookies".

DSP Media first revealed the upcoming debut of its new co-ed group Kard along with its members on December 5, 2016, with a card game-based concept. BM was assigned a role as a "King" card. The group unveiled the first part of its debut project on December 13 with the release of their first single "Oh NaNa", and officially debuted on July 19, 2017, with their first EP Hola Hola.

In November 2018, BM was featured in the eponymous title track for singer Zsun's album I'm On My Wave. In the same month, he also uploaded the self-produced track "Better Myself" on SoundCloud.

On December 6, 2018, he made a guest appearance on the JTBC variety show Shall We Walk Together in celebration of g.o.d's 20th debut anniversary. He appeared alongside Woosung of Snuper and Heo Chan of Victon, wherein they visited and walked through the Santiago pilgrimage route for three days as they made their way towards g.o.d's dormitory.

In May 2019, BM appeared on the magazine cover of Men's Health Korea. He was then confirmed to be joining the lineup for the SBS television series Law Of The Jungle on June 6, appearing alongside several acts including Korean entertainer Kim Byung-man, PENTAGON’s Hongseok, Hong Soo-ah, and Nature’s Saebom. The show began airing a week later on June 13.

In September, he received his first major credits as the primary songwriter, composer, and producer for the single "Dumb Litty". The title of the song was derived from usual slang words used by BM when he lived in Los Angeles. BM had previously taken part in producing Kard's music, initially through writing and composing his rap parts.

In 2020, BM was cast in the Dive Studios variety program HWAITING!, starring alongside Ashley of Ladies' Code, Jae of Day6, Peniel of BTOB, Jamie Park and Amber Liu. The program first premiered on Facebook Watch on February 12. Since July, BM began hosting the DIVE Studios podcast Get Real alongside Peniel of BTOB and Ashley from Ladies' Code. He then featured in the track "Put It On Ya" alongside Korean rapper Nafla as part of Jessi's second EP Nuna which was released on July 30. On October 9, he appeared as an intern in the TBS show Hong Gi-mak Studio.
