After Kim graduated in 1975, he and his brother went for professional career debut and changed their band's name to Sanulrim (산울림 meaning "Mountain Echo").[3] With Kim Chang-wan as lead vocalist and guitarist, Kim Chang-hoon on rhythm guitar, bass and keyboards, and Kim Chang-ik on drums.
In 1977, Sanulrim released their first album What, Already?, which became a critical and commercial success.[4] The band's psychedelic rock/hard rock sound (reminiscent of the Sex Pistols) was music Koreans hadn't heard before, and Sanulrim revitalized the Korean music scene, which was currently devastated after several major musicians were arrested for marijuana possession in the 1970s.
From 1977 to 1984, they released more than 10 albums and became one of the most influential and beloved figures in the Korean rock music scene.[5] With the K-pop retrospective boom during the 1990s, all of their albums were reissued and a tribute album was released.

On January 29, 2008, drummer Kim Chang-ik was killed in a traffic accident in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on January 29, 2008, and Sanulrim disbanded after his death.[6]
In 2008, he founded the eponymous Kim Chang-wan Band, with himself on vocals, keyboardist Lee Sang-hoon, bassist Choi Won-sik, drummer Kang Yoon-gi and guitarist Yeom Min-yeol. They have released one album, Bus, and several EPs.[7][8][9][10][11][12] Kim also contributes to soundtracks and collaborates with younger artists, such as IU.[13][14][15][16]
Having worked as a music director and film score composer in the early 1990s, Kim Chang-wan also began acting onscreen.[17] He has appeared in supporting roles in film and television, notably in dramedy The Happy Funeral Director, omnibus Beating Heart, medical drama Behind the White Tower, and romantic comedies Coffee Prince, Queen of Housewives, and My Love from the Star.[18][19][20][21][22]
