Silently shaved his head, the hidden meaning behind Lee Chan-hyuk’s solo debut performance (Inkigayo)

Singer Lee Chan-hyuk showed a shocking performance by shaving his head on stage.

On SBS’s “Inkigayo,” which aired on October 23rd, Lee Chan-hyuk unveiled his solo debut stage.

On this day, Lee Chan-hyuk released the stage of his first solo full album’s title song “Panorama.” “Panorama” is a song that combines a warm-textured retro sound with a light melody and the calm voice of Lee Chan-hyuk.

Lee Chan-hyuk went on stage with a man. When the stage began, the man began to shave Lee Chan-hyuk’s hair, and by the end of the stage, Lee Chan-hyuk’s head is completely shaved. The shocking shaving performance surprised every audience at the scene.

Earlier, Lee Chan-hyuk appeared wearing a mask written “ERROR” on Mnet’s “M!Countdown” and gave a silent interview that did not answer any questions, and on MBC’s “Music Core” stage, he showed his back to the camera throughout the song.

Netizens are showing mixed reactions to Lee Chan-hyuk’s performance.

However, this is a hint in the storyline of Lee Chan-hyuk’s solo album. Lee Chan-hyuk’s silence while wearing a mask is related to the album’s first track, “Eyewitness Account,” which represents an accident. He fell into a coma due to that accident, which means that he can only hear people and cannot speak.

He then turned his back and sang as if he were in a different world, and turning his face through a mirror represents his state of recovery for a while, like the lyrics of “I can’t die like this” in “Panorama.” After all of that, he meant to represent the meaning of being reborn through his shaved head.

Since the music stages must be discussed with the broadcasting company in advance, this is not a sudden performance on the stage, but all of them were planned in advance.

As such, Lee Chan-hyuk is giving viewers the pleasure of watching a performance of art with his unique imagination and music world. Expectations are high on what kind of performance Lee Chan-hyuk, who is showing various steps to break stereotypes as he said, will deliver in the future.
