Lee Seung-gi Celebrates 20th Anniversary with Film Comeback and New Duet Album

Lee Seung-gi is celebrating his 20th anniversary in the entertainment industry with a series of exciting events. Not only is he making a return to the big screen with the film 'Big Family,' but he is also releasing a duet album with singer Lyn. His new agency, Big Planet Made, is showing strong support, truly embodying the 'big family' spirit.

Lee Seung-gi is set to make his screen comeback after six years with the film 'Big Family' directed by Yang Woo-seok. The movie, which premieres on the 11th, is a family comedy about a dumpling restaurant owner (played by Kim Yoon-seok) who unexpectedly finds himself living with adorable grandchildren due to his son (played by Lee Seung-gi) becoming a monk. Lee Seung-gi's dedication to his role, including shaving his head, has garnered significant attention and praise.

At the VIP premiere of 'Big Family' on the 2nd, Lee Seung-gi's wife, actress Lee Da-in, and his agency family from Big Planet Made, including MC Mong, Bad Villain, VIVIZ, B.O, and Ha Sung-woon, showed their support. Lee Da-in expressed her affection by posting a photo of Lee Seung-gi's shaved head on social media with a heart emoji. The agency's artists also attended, creating a warm and supportive atmosphere.

In addition to his film comeback, Lee Seung-gi is preparing to release his 20th-anniversary album 'With.' This album features duets with various artists who have a special connection with him, making it a unique and memorable project.

The title track 'Return' is a reimagined version of a song from his 2012 mini-album 'Forest.' Known for its poetic lyrics and sweet melody, the song reflects on the moment of parting with a loved one. The new duet version features Lee Seung-gi's powerful vocals alongside Lyn's delicate and emotional voice, creating a captivating harmony.

The 20th-anniversary album 'With' also includes re-arranged versions of Lee Seung-gi's early hits like 'Because You're My Woman,' 'Delete,' 'Words That Are Hard to Say,' and 'Unfinished Story.' Collaborations with artists such as Lyn, Cha Eun-woo, Lee Soo, Captain Planet, and Lee Moo-jin have generated buzz around the album.

Debuting as a teenager, Lee Seung-gi is revisiting his roots with 'With,' which will be released on the 4th at 6 PM.
