Singer and actor Lee Seung-gi (39) announced his participation as the original singer to close out 'Hidden Singer 8'.

In the 10th episode of JTBC's 'Hidden Singer 8' airing on the night of the 2nd, versatile entertainer and 'Ballad Crown Prince' Lee Seung-gi, who has mastered singing, acting, and variety shows, will appear as the final original singer.

On this day, Lee Seung-gi said, "I have never seen anyone imitate me," and issued a challenge to score 100 votes in the fourth round, where original singers are sought. While Psy previously received the highest record of 98 votes on 'Hidden Singer', Lee Seung-gi raised expectations with his witty pledge to "surpass Psy."

In particular, according to the production team, Lee Seung-gi was one of the long-standing projects for which the production team had consistently extended offers. For this day, top-tier vocal imitators who have been preparing for a long time are set to make a grand appearance.

Meanwhile, Lee Jin-seong, a member of the group Monday Kiz, who is Lee Seung-gi's direct senior from high school, will reveal behind-the-scenes details of how he once recruited Lee Seung-gi into the band club.

Additionally, Lee Hong-gi of FT Island, who boasted of their close friendship by noting they belong to the same Jeonju Lee family, will join the judging panel, along with actor Ahn Jae-hyun and Wanna One's Kim Jae-hwan, who cites Lee Seung-gi as his role model. It remains to be seen whether these close friends, who pride themselves on knowing Lee Seung-gi better than anyone else, can identify the 'original singer' among the vocal imitators.

Meanwhile, Lee Seung-gi will face off against vocal imitators with his debut song 'Because You're My Girl' (2004), which sparked the national younger man syndrome. As the song captures the fresh sensibility of 17-year-old Lee Seung-gi, interest is focused on whether the vocal imitators can recreate that same sensibility even after about 20 years.

The Lee Seung-gi episode, which came to fruition after 10 years of offers, can be seen in the 10th episode of 'Hidden Singer 8' airing at 8:50 p.m. on the 2nd.

Meanwhile, Lee Seung-gi married actress Lee Da-in, who is five years his junior, in April 2023, and welcomed a daughter in February of the following year. In particular, the couple drew attention in February this year when they announced that the wife was five months pregnant with their second child.

Lee Da-in is the daughter of actress Kwon Mi-ri and the younger sister of Lee Yu-bi.
