Singer and actor Kim Hyun-joong won his second trophy from music cable channel Mnet’s live music show “M! CountDown” aired yesterday.

Kim became the winner of the program with “Break Down,” the title track to his first solo mini-album of the same name, which has sold over 100,000 copies in less than three weeks of its release earlier this month.

Girl group songs f(x)’s “Hot Summer” and Secret’s “Starlight Moonlight” reached the No. 2 and 3 spot, respectively.

“I want to say how sorry I am for those who have worked hard for and got hurt in the process of making of this album,” said Kim in his acceptance speech.

"Break Down," featuring singer Double K, is a powerful south urban-style dance number, composed by Steven Lee who worked with several J-pop stars such as V6 and KAT-TUN in the past.

This is also the song’s second consecutive win on Mnet and his third win in total when combining his previous win on KBS’ “Music Bank” last Friday.

Other singers that appeared on the stage the same day were M to M, Sunny Hill, A PINK, RaNia, N-Train, Rainbow, Secret, Jewelry, FTIsland, Jewelry, 4Men, f(x), Jang Jae-in, Monday Kiz, Bubble Sisters, Jisun and 8eight.
