Singer-songwriter Lee Seung-yoon has been honored at the 'Korea Popular Music Awards' for the second consecutive year.

Lee Seung-yoon won the Best Rock Song category with "PunKanon" at the 23rd Korean Popular Music Awards held on the 26th.

As a result, Lee Seung-yoon won three awards in the Musician of the Year, Best Rock Song, and Best Modern Rock at the 22nd Korean Popular Music Awards, and also won the trophy for two consecutive years at the same ceremony, proving both musicality and popularity.

Lee Seung-yoon, who showed a ceremony of kissing the trophy, said, "I want to tell the stories of music critics, not my own story as a creator. Hundreds or thousands of music come out a day, and I really wanted to say thank you to those who evaluate music in any way that finds it one by one, gives it meaning, and makes it special to me. We will continue to make good music without losing," he said.

"PunKanon," released in August last year, is a combination of "Punk" and "Canon," a punk-style arrangement of the track "Canon" from the third full-length album "Reversibility." Co-producer Cho Hee-won, guitarist Lee Jung-won, and drummer Ji Yong-hee, who worked together on all the songs from their third studio album, "The Reversal," also worked on the arrangement of "PunKanon."

Earlier, the selection committee for the "Korea Popular Music Awards" said of "PunKanon," "The lyrical and condensed emotional texture of the original song is boldly removed, reconstructed into a punk rock style at the opposite point, and the song acquires a completely different vitality." Rock star Lee Seung-yoon's energy, accumulated through numerous live stages, is released in the most direct way in "PunKanon." The song, which is completed by breathing as if hitting the audience's body, maximizes the energy, improvisation, and liberation of rock music, and draws the performance itself as part of the song. As a result, "PunKanon" no longer stays in one "song" on stage, but functions as a device that triggers collective enthusiasm," he said, adding, "This song clearly proves why Lee Seung-yoon is now the most notable "Live Act."

On this day, Lee Seung-yoon presented the "Fall" stage as a special stage, including the award, to boost the enthusiasm of the site. Lee Seung-yoon, who opened with a signature gesture of scratching his guitar neck on the microphone stand, boasted overwhelming suction power with powerful vocals combined with the sound of a grand band. It showed the true value of "Lee Seung-yoon's music" by providing the essence of explosive band sound, encompassing intensity and delicacy.

Meanwhile, Lee Seung-yoon, who stands out at major festivals at home and abroad as a leading player in the band's boom, will be on stage as a headliner for "The Glow 2026," which will be held at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, on March 21.
