Lee Seung-gi Returns to Music with Emotional New Ballad ‘Sorting Out’

Korean multi-hyphenate entertainer Lee Seung-gi is making a much-anticipated return to his roots as a singer. On June 7th at 6 PM KST, Lee is slated to release a new digital single titled ‘Sorting Out’ across major music streaming platforms. This marks his first musical work in four years and five months, following the release of his 7th full album in December 2020.

‘Sorting Out’ goes beyond the framework of a typical ballad. It is a deeply personal and emotionally evocative track that reflects Lee’s matured musical sensibility. Told through stirring string arrangements led by cello melodies and his signature soulful vocals, the song delicately captures the bittersweet process of reminiscing and letting go after a breakup—a universal experience that resonates with listeners of all ages.

Lee Seung-gi not only lent his voice to the track but also took full creative control, participating in the lyrics, composition, and arrangement. His hands-on involvement showcases the depth of musical knowledge and emotional nuance he has acquired over the years.

The release of ‘Sorting Out’ is particularly noteworthy as it comes after his 20th-anniversary commemorative album ‘With’, dropped last year. While ‘With’ served as a reflective piece on his two-decade journey in the entertainment industry, ‘Sorting Out’ signifies a reinvigorated beginning. Lee now sets his sights on reigniting his career as a musician, promising new chapters in his musical evolution.

Fans across the globe are eagerly anticipating Lee Seung-gi’s renewed musical journey, starting with this emotive and compelling ballad that showcases both his growth and authenticity as an artist.
