Lee Seung Gi made a comeback as a singer with his 6th full album on June 10. It is his first album in 2 years and 7 months, while the title track 'And Goodbye' is gaining great popularity on various online music charts. 'And Goodbye' is a rock ballad music that is about love and parting.
Honestly, Lee Seung Gi's voice is not that powerful. And his singing technique is not among the highest in the world of kpop. However, he is competitive enough as a singer because he has his own strong point.
Do you remember Park Jin Young, the judge of 'Kpop Star', said that a singer's speaking voice and singing voice should be same? He also stated that singers should sing the same way as they talk. Yeah, Lee Seung Gi is the typical example of the singer who sings the same way as he talks.
Lee Seung Gi starts singing 'And Goodbye' with his sweet voice, while emotions run wild as the song comes to the climax. Let's see a part of the song's lyrics.
The words goodbye goodbye goodbye It doesn't mean it's the end Because we are under the same sky I say goodbye goodbye goodbye But in my heart Only you you, only you We were together in a short time but we have many memories I was always moved by your unchanged love Today is not the last day So please don't cry Wherever you are in the world I can find you
Isn't it touching? It has been 10 years since Lee Seung Gi debuted as a singer. Furthermore, he has to begin his mandatory military service soon. For these reasons, Lee Seung Gi tried to carry many messages through the album. He expressed his affection, thanks, and sorriness toward his fans. He also cries, "Don't forget me, don't forget me" in 'And Goodbye'.
Well, for Korean young men, joining the army is a really big thing. It causes for them unwanted separation from their families, friends, and girlfriends. Especially, it is heartbreaking to say goodbye to women they love. I finished my army service years ago too. In my case, I hugged my girlfriend and sobbed before joining the army.(Even though I don't think joining the army is a big deal any more)
Anyway, as anybody knows, Lee Seung Gi has his lovable girlfriend, Girls' Generation's Yoona, and he has to part with her soon. It seems that Lee Seung Gi tried to send out a special message through his new album. The album, which is Lee Seung Gi's last full album before joining the army, should be his special present for his fans and Yoona.
So, let's see Lee Seung Gi's message to Yoona again.
"The words goodbye goodbye goodbye. It doesn't mean it's the end. Because we are under the same sky. I say goodbye goodbye goodbye. But in my heart, only you you, only you. We were together in a short time but we have many memories. I was always moved by your unchanged love. Today is not the last day. So please don't cry. Wherever you are in the world, I can find you."
1988–2009: Early life and debut G-Dragon began his career at age five as part of the group Little Roo Ra.

Although he wrote his own lyrics, he admitted that his English was weak and the story behind the lyrics was just another typical "I'm young, but I'm the best." Additionall...
"Do k-pop idols really sing live? It's not an easy question to answer because the answer to the question could be both yes and no. Well, I want to talk about details about k-pop idols' live performance on the stage. Have you heard about MR, AR, LMR, and LAR? If you get to know about these terms, you will be able to have a good understanding of k-pop idols' live performance." MR(Music Recorded) Basically, MR means instrumental accompaniment. Have you been to karaoke? MR is like karaoke music which doesn’t contain the sound of singer’s voice. However, there is no k-pop idol who uses such a clear MR, while all the k-pop idols’ MR contains sounds of their voices. Before performing their songs on k-pop chart shows, k-pop idols should make their MR, and the way how they make MR is to decrease the sound volume of their voices in original music, while keeping the sound volume of instrumental accompaniment as it is. So, to k-pop idols, singing to MR doesn’t j...
During the early days of BIGBANG’s career, the team was marketed predominately as a hip-hop group, but the 5-member group and G-Dragon went on to experiment with electronic music and setting it as the new music trend in Korea. And during the production for the collaboration album GD & TOP and his solo album, G-Dragon opted for a more hip-hop sound. As a musician, G-Dragon covers various genres of music. For example, G-Dragon incorporated a mix of dance, hip-hop, and R&B songs into “Heartbreaker”. And his second album, “Coup d'Etat” is noted for being an eclectic mix of hip-hop, dubstep, rock, electro, and pop. The more amazing fact is that G-Dragon’s music has not only highly artistic quality but also great popular appeal. That’s why he has been widely recognized as one of the best hip-hop musicians and k-pop idols. By covering a variety of genres of music and making musical materials which have great popular appeal, G-Dragon played a leading role in popularizi...
