Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun will take to the stage of cable music channel Mnet's weekly music program this week to sing his theme song for recent hit TV series "Dream High."

Kim's agency KEYEAST announced on Tuesday that the actor will perform song "Dreaming" from the soundtrack to KBS' "Dream High" on "M! CountDown" on Thursday, making it the first and only time he will sing the song live on television.

"'Dreaming' has maintained its position on top of various music charts even after 'Dream High' ended its run so after thinking of how we could repay fans for such love and support, we decided that he should sing on the show," an official from KEYEAST was quoted as saying.

Kim made his debut on the small screen with a role in MBC's sitcom "Kimchi Cheese Smile" in 2008 and played the younger version of Ko Soo's character in SBS' "Will It Snow For Christmas?" in 2009.

He also starred in the SBS special drama "Father's Home" alongside veteran actor Choi Min-soo and most recently played the young Lee Sung-moo in the hit SBS series "Giant."

Most recently, he played the role of Song Sam-dong KBS' musical TV series "Dream High," which tells the story of six teenagers who strive to achieve their dreams of becoming famous, alongside Korean idols Taecyeon and Wooyoung of 2PM, Ham Eunjung of T-ara and IU.

The show brought in viewership ratings in the 18 to 20 percent range and has been sold to various countries in Asia including Japan, Singapore, Cambodia and Vietnam.
