Reporter Lee Jae-hoon = What is important in docking?
In real space, it is a stable physical bond between two spacecraft. Singer-songwriter Lee Seung-yoon’s universe is a bit different. Psychological comfort that it’s okay to be connected a little ‘Pitturu’ (crookedly) in a pitch-dark sense of isolation.
On the afternoon of the 1st, Lee Seung-yoon’s tour ‘Docking’ encore performance at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Seoul showed what a non-linear world view like a sphere is, not a linear world view like a straight line.
Despite the honor of being the first winner of JTBC’s ‘Sing Again’, Lee Seung-yoon came back to the field like a ‘wild horse’. However, he couldn’t help his anxiety, so he searched for a precedent that went like he did while worrying about ‘how to survive’. However, he confessed that day that he could not find the right precedent. It is because you can make a living from performances only when you have at least one hit song that everyone knows.
To borrow his own words, it makes no logical sense for Lee Seung-yoon, who has no hit songs and does not sing a song that has become a hot topic on air, to hold a concert like this. Therefore, in the end, Lee Seung-yoon became a precedent. He also said, “I wanted to be a precedent.” “It’s all thanks to the fans that I was able to do such arrogant thoughts,” he smiled gratefully.
Lee Seung-yoon is now a celestial body that needs to be redefined in the galaxy of Korean popular music. Those who have come to know the true value of the planet in that celestial body are gradually making a soft landing there and sharing their lives. “Is life a circle / Or is it a nine / If you seek and want it / You belong to salvation, yes,” like the lyrics of “Universe Like Something to Drink,” which Lee Seung-yoon sang at the end of the day.

But what this song really talks about is the fact that Lee Seung-yoon is a ‘rhombus’. Even ‘Pitturu’ is standing. “Rain falls not in a straight line, but in a circle”, and so is life. A part of that life was melted into Lee Seung-yoon’s ‘Docking’.
Humility and courtesy that the elusive things in life should remain elusive. “If you’re looking for an excuse, start with the treat / Serve it first” (‘A cloud or two’), “Between the stars / There’s more darkness” (Alarikankchon ‘Beware of Gain’), “I’ll sing more painfully than praying / Until the angry waves now cry like a lullaby / that embraces your calm breath” (‘It hurts more than prayer’), etc., proves this.
The reason why this kind of narrative was well conveyed to the audience was because they were trained musically. The concert on this day with a solid band and chorus was high in sound quality without sizzle. It was Lee Seung-yoon’s first stand-up performance, but there were moments of locking up to the extent that “(the audience) had to say hello tomorrow morning, but they couldn’t say it because their voices weren’t coming out.”
As much as he said it was his own ‘romance release performance’, the stage production that stood out often caught my eye. When they sang “Speaking like someone who loves someone,” Lee Seung-yoon and his band members sang face-to-face on the protruding runway stage in front of the main stage. When I sang the SBS TV drama ‘That Year We’ OST ‘Hill Tree’, the cheering rods in the audience were green like leaves.
Lee Seung-yoon was humble about not having a hit song, but ‘Hero Collector’ had the power to make the performance climax. In particular, the video effect that envelops Lee Seung-yoon’s label name and symbolizes him as a rhombus changes into various sizes and shapes was excellent. The title song of the 2nd regular album that followed, ‘Dwelling of Dreams’, was also a song that would be sung for a long time.

Lee Seung-yoon’s songs, including ‘Abode of Dreams’, above all, do not have a clear answer. It hints at the fact that there is no right answer in life, and each person has their own answer. This goes hand in hand with Seungyoon Lee’s attitude of not easily interpreting life. If they talk about it quietly and quietly under the stage with shyness and blank space, on stage they push that attitude with confidence, carrying the fandom ‘Pitturu’ on their backs.
But not coercive. Instead of leaving the incomprehensible life as its share, it does what the song should do as a song. The frequency of that song is bound to reach someday in the vast universe.
The ‘Docking’ encore performance will be held once more at the same place on the afternoon of the 2nd.
