Lee Seung-gi Returns to the Stage with New Single ‘Reset’

Korean singer and actor Lee Seung-gi is officially making his return to the entertainment scene with the release of his new digital single titled ‘Reset’ on June 7th. This marks his first major activity since his public fallout with his in-laws, a matter that garnered widespread media attention across South Korea.

Later in the evening, Lee will appear live on MBC FM4U‘s popular radio show ‘Lee Yena’s Starry Night‘ to directly engage with listeners and reconnect with his fanbase. This particular comeback is especially notable because it’s his first official schedule following the controversy surrounding his wife’s family and his announcement to cut ties with them entirely.

At the end of last month, Lee revealed that “the trust between families has been damaged beyond repair,” citing personal trauma as one of the reasons for distancing himself from his in-laws. His choice of song title, ‘Reset’, seems to symbolically mirror this chapter in his life — a fresh start both musically and emotionally.

On June 12, Lee will make another appearance on national television via the long-running music competition program Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend broadcast on KBS2. In a special non-competitive episode, he will perform a duet stage with fellow singer and actor Lee Hong-gi.

The episode is drawing anticipation for making Lee Seung-gi’s comeback to a music program after a long hiatus. However, the public opinion remains a significant hurdle. Once revered for his upright image, Lee faced a wave of criticism after the in-law controversy, leading to a disconnect between him and his devoted fanbase.

Although he has expressed remorse and publicly severed ties from his wife’s family, regaining his former popularity will likely be a long road. His latest single, ‘Reset’, might serve as the first step toward rebuilding public trust—or it may fall short, leaving unresolved tension in its wake.

All eyes are now on how Lee Seung-gi‘s post-‘Reset’ journey unfolds in the months to come.
