Singer-actor Lee Seung-gi spent a special time through his first solo concert in 13 years.

Lee held the “2026 Lee Seung-gi Concert ” at Seoul Bluesquare Uri WON Banking Hall for three days, from the 23rd to the 25th.

The performance carried added significance as it marked his first stage in about 13 years since 2013 as a formal solo concert. The performances originally scheduled for October 24 and 25 sold out all seats within three minutes of ticket release, after which additional shows were arranged, allowing him to meet audiences over a total of three days.

The performance title “Ki-Seung-Jeon : Rak” is a name that adds “Rak,” meaning music, to “Ki-Seung-Jeon (Introduction, Development, and Turn),” which signifies the flow of a story. It carries the meaning that Lee’s story, having passed through countless scenes and moments of life, reconnects with audiences through music.

In particular, this performance drew attention for its seating operations that prioritized a comfortable viewing environment for the audience. Despite selling out all seats, approximately 10% or more fewer chairs were placed than the venue’s official seating capacity, focusing on creating a relaxed viewing environment rather than accommodating more audiences.

On this day, Lee opened the performance with “Overture,” which he specially prepared for this show. He then presented representative songs such as “Don’t Forget, Remember, Don’t Be Late,” “Hard to Say Words,” “Delete,” and “Rewind,” conveying deep emotion with his characteristic persuasive voice.

The musical director for this performance was Captain Planet (guitar Lee Byung-ho, keyboard Choi Su-ji), who has maintained a musical connection with Lee for the past 15 years. Captain Planet also performed as Lee’s band, showcasing musical synergy born from long-term collaboration.

In the latter half, he shifted the atmosphere with intense band sounds and rocking music, including “Like a Flower” and “Smile Boy,” breathing in sync with the audience. The audiences also sang along, enjoying the stage until the final moment of the performance.

As he concluded the performance, Lee conveyed his gratitude to the audience, saying, “In life, there are moments when you feel tired and exhausted. In such times, simply knowing that someone is by your side often becomes a great source of strength. I sincerely thank you for being a great source of strength for me today.”
