Singer-actor Lee Seung-gi is poised to return as a singer, about five years after releasing his sixth studio album “And…”
Lee, 33, will reveal the pre-release tentatively titled “Cliche Man” on Nov. 15, and release his seventh full-length album sometime next month, according to his agency Hook Entertainment Thursday.
For the pre-release, Lee has teamed with singer/producer Yoon Jong-shin, founder of music label Mystic Story. Yoon was behind the success of a string of hits including singer Sung Si-kyung's 2006 release “On the Street.” In 2018, he released the ballad “Like it?” and took music streaming charts by storm.
“'Cliche Man' is a ballad that will strike a chord with people,” Hook said. “Lee has been gearing up enthusiastically for the album to meet people's expectations. Please support him.”
Lee rose to stardom as a singer with the hit "Because You're My Woman" (2004) and starred in dozens of popular TV shows, including Netflix's action-thriller "Vagabond" in 2019.
