Ben's first public appearance after divorce

Singer Ben went on stage for the first time since his divorce.

(G)I-DLE, Ben, Lee Seung-yoon and Hwang Je-seong will appear on KBS2's 'The Seasons - Zico's Artist', which will air on the 12th.

(G)I-DLE opens their first performance with ‘Because I Hate Being Sick’. Leader Soyeon expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thanks to The Seasons, this song was able to take off.” The first live stage was ‘The Seasons – Hyori Lee’s Red Carpet’, but after that day, it started to turn around as it received attention. In 'Zico's Artist', he appears in the audience to the band's performance and receives great cheers from the audience.

Soyeon and Zico are classmates at the same gym where they learn martial arts. Soyeon, who has prepared gloves, asks Zico to compete on stage. Next, Zico overpowers Kiseon by saying, “Have you got insurance?” and Zico responds by saying, “Please use the mouthpiece,” foreshadowing an unusual confrontation.

(G)I-DLE made a comeback this summer with the new song ‘Claction’ by 5 Summer Queens. The members mention leader and producer Soyeon's directing, and Yuqi confesses a humorous hardship, saying, "He couldn't even drink water because of his husky voice." But after listening to the recording, he quickly agreed and said it was cool. He also talks about Soyeon's unique 'training method for each member'. There is a way to treat each person in the recording studio with sweet words. Rumor has it that each member realized that they had been wronged and became enraged.

To this, Zico said, “I speak rather loudly. You're in the biggest trouble, and you can't even sing a single line. “It’s like this,” he says, amazed as he talks about his completely opposite directing method. Additionally, a special stage that can only be seen on ‘The Seasons’ will be prepared. The new song ‘Claction’ starts with Zico’s intro rap. This collaboration performance can be confirmed through broadcast.

Next is ‘Room Corner Artist’ with Hwang Je-seong. This is a time for the audience to select a practical music chart that they can use at least once. The theme this time is ‘A passionate song that clears up the inner space that is clogged with stress.’ Jaurim's 'Deviation' was selected by the audience in 5th place, and Jinju's 'I'm Okay' was selected in 4th place. As the rankings are revealed one by one, the pitch gets more and more high-pitched, heating up the atmosphere at the scene. Next, the stories of audience members with various types of stress are revealed, and various interviews are conducted with soloists, office workers, and K-eldest daughter, gaining sympathy from everyone present. Among them, you can see through the broadcast which song won the top spot and caused an uproar of laughter when it was released along with the story, “I shout secretly when my boss nags me.”

Ballad singer Ben returns to the stage for the first time in three years. He, who has been spending time with his young daughter since his divorce, said, “This is the first time I have had such a long break since my debut,” and expressed his emotional feelings about being on stage for the first time in a long time. He is a short stature representative of the music industry. Ben sang Lee Young-ji's 'Small girl', saying, 'I'm such a small and cute girl. Would you like to fall in love once?' Prepare a revised version that reflects your feelings. In addition, he played the keyboard and sang 'Please Stay' while singing 'In Love' and '180 Degrees' without accompaniment, and it is said that he gave his all as it was his first time on stage in a long time.

Ben, who returned with his new song ‘I Loved You Like a Movie,’ introduces it as “a song that will resonate not only with me, but with everyone,” heralding the birth of another masterpiece.

Next, Seungyoon Lee presents a powerful stage performance of his new song ‘Waterfall’. After the performance, he expressed his thoughts on his first live performance, saying, “I gave up on broadcasting because it was a 6-minute song, but they let me sing it on The Seasons.” Now in his 12th year as a singer, he recalls his parents' reaction when he first started making music. At the time, his parents opposed his dream of becoming a singer, saying, “Keep your mouth shut and live a normal life,” and “If you want to sing, do trot.” When asked by Zico whether he would have become a trot singer if he had accepted his parents' wishes, he answered, "I would have given up on music early because it is not an easy genre."

But now, she says she is so supportive, and in particular, she performs her mother's favorite song, Yeojin's 'Nostalgia Only Accumulates', while playing the piano. Also known as a festival powerhouse, he talks about his unique stage habits. He even received the misunderstanding that he chews gum because of his ‘tongue chewing habit.’ Also, it is said that the audience heated up the atmosphere by performing 'Let's Fly', which is famous for being a song that invades the audience.

'The Seasons - Zico's Artist' will be broadcast at 10 PM on this day.
