Kim Tae-woo tops music chart for third week

Korean singer Kim Tae-woo took the No.1 spot on KBS Music Bank for the third week in-a-row.

The singer beat out Leessang with his recent single "Love Rain" from his album "T-Virus" on the music show which aired live on Friday.

"I realize once again that I couldn't do this on my own," the 28-year-old singer said in his acceptance speech. "I would like to thank everyone."

Kim also took first place on SBS Inkigayo, winning the Mutizen Song Award with "Rain".

Other contenders for the Mutizen Award included 4minute, Epik High, Gavy & NJ, Lee Seung-gi, Leessang and Park Hyo-shin.

Kim, formerly the lead singer of popular Korean boy band G.O.D., released his first solo album "Solo Special" in 2006. "Rain" is the first single from "T-Virus", his comeback album since completing Korea's mandatory military service in May.
