Lee Seung Gi shared about his comeback with his seventh studio album!

On December 17, Lee Seung Gi organized a press conference for his latest album “The Project” which was officially released on December 10 with the title track “I Will.” The press conference was hosted by Shin Sung Rok-his friend and fellow “Master in the House” cast member.

And this time, Lee Seung Gi’s comeback with the role of a singer after 5 years with the album "The Project". He really appreciates fans for their love and support. “Since I was releasing an album for the first time in five years, I had to overcome a lot of my personal worries and concerns during preparations.

He added, “There are four new songs. If I had two or three bodies, I would’ve filled it all with new songs but I was restricted by my physical strength. I had a couple of gem-like songs I had worked on in the past. There are also some songs that I wanted to sing but couldn’t because they were overshadowed by the title track. I narrowed it down to five songs and remastered them to release my seventh album.

Lee Seung Gi shared his passion to sing again since his discharge from the military in 2017. He said, “I really, really wanted to sing, but my condition wouldn’t return back to normal. That extended my preparation time. I did start but I didn’t think it was enough. It could’ve been pushed back further but I gained confidence that people loved and waited for my voice after singing ‘Forbidden Love.'” Earlier this year, Lee Seung Gi performed “Forbidden Love” on “Master in the House,” which gained a lot of attention from fans, and they expressed their desire to see him sing again.

Lee Seung Gi added, “Once I got to my 30s and I had been promoting for 16 to 17 years, I wanted to make music I was satisfied with. I had the desire to be a bit more serious and meticulous. Since I also act and appear on variety shows, I didn’t want to be a singer to just be a token. When people look at me just as a singer, I wanted to hear ‘You’re doing well.'

Lee Seung Gi made his debut in 2004 and released numerous hit songs before getting into acting and variety shows. He explained, “There are rarely any days where I’m not working. These days when I rest, I give myself a pat on the back. Since I used my body, I must reward it. Whether I rest, eat, or just care for it, I have to do something.

Lee Seung Gi continued, “I used to think it was a reward that I didn’t get exhausted. However, these days, it’s hard to focus on anything. Your energy has a limit. I pat myself on the back to thank my body for enduring all this so well.

Lastly, he commented, “I’ll work hard. If I’m to do everything I want to do, it’s important to take care of myself. I won’t let go as a singer and I’ll move you with good music and a good voice.
