Singer-actor Lee Seung Gi’s first Asian tour concert in 4 years faced difficulties from the start.
Lee Seung Gi will hold solo concerts in Tokyo, Osaka, Taipei and Manila, starting with the 2023 Lee Seung Gi Asia Tour Concert “The Dreamers Dream – Chapter 2” in Seoul from May 4th to 7th.
This is Lee Seung Gi’s first Asian tour in 4 years since the Asian fan meeting in 2019. This is Lee Seung Gi’s first meeting with fans after disputes with his former agency Hook Entertainment over issues such as the settlement of music revenue. It was expected to attract huge attention, but the results are not good.
Tickets for the Seoul concert, which will be held at the 477-seat Link Arts Center Payco Hall, are on sale without being sold out. As of 9 AM on April 20th, an average of 33 seats per day were not sold. More than 130 seats were not sold out of a total of 1,908 seats for 4 days.
Famous for having a solid fandom, Lee Seung Gi raised expectations for his strong ticket power, but the reservation rate is bitter.
Compared to other singers who are scheduled to perform in Seoul, the atmosphere is quite different. All tickets for Sung Si Kyung’s brand concert “The song”, which will be held in June, were sold out as soon as ticket reservations opened. The first solo concert of Kim Ki Tae, the winner of “Sing Again”, on April 22nd was also sold out.
There may be fans who have not booked tickets yet because there are about 2 weeks left until the concert. However, there are observations that a large number of canceled tickets may occur in the future.
This is because the public opinion on Lee Seung Gi, who has been overwhelmingly liked for years with his upright guy image, recently changed due to the “in-laws issue” after Lee Seung Gi married Lee Da In.
Along with the news of the launch of his one-man agency Human Made, Lee Seung Gi announced that he would donate all of the settlement money he received from Hook. Public support poured out, but rumors of Lee Da In’s mother Kyeon Mi Ri and her father’s stock price manipulation, premarital pregnancy and controversy over PPL at the wedding appeared one after another.
Lee Seung Gi eventually said on his SNS on April 12th, five days after the wedding, “I’ve lived as a celebrity for 20 years. I’ve never said something with emotions like this. I felt intimidated by fake news and malicious comments.”
Since it is a concert held after delaying the honeymoon, attention is paid to whether the seats can be filled in the future.
