Lee Seung Gi Makes Emotional Comeback with Self-Written Song ‘Jeong-ri’ – A Poignant Reflection on Love and Farewell

Lee Seung Gi is officially returning to his first love—music—with a brand new digital single that showcases his emotional depth and artistic growth.

On May 7 at 6 PM KST, Lee Seung-gi will release his latest digital single “Jeong-ri” (정리) across major music platforms. This highly anticipated track marks his first new release in 4 years and 5 months, following his 7th full-length album, which was released back in December 2020.

“Jeong-ri”—which translates to “Tidying Up” or “Closure”—is not just another breakup ballad. It’s a deeply personal and introspective piece that captures the emotional journey of processing memories and longing after parting ways with a loved one. Rather than wallowing in heartbreak, the song walks the listener through the delicate process of organizing lingering feelings, reminiscing with sincerity, and ultimately moving forward with grace.

Musically, “Jeong-ri” reflects Lee Seung-gi’s matured sound and artistic sensibilities. The song is anchored by a hauntingly beautiful string section led by a lyrical cello line, which intertwines seamlessly with his rich and emotive vocals. This combination creates a heartfelt resonance that is both intimate and universal—touching anyone who has experienced the ache of letting go.

What makes “Jeong-ri” even more meaningful is Lee Seung-gi’s hands-on involvement in every step of its creation. He not only wrote the lyrics but also composed and arranged the track himself. Drawing from his years of experience and growth as an artist, he pours his own raw emotions into the music, resulting in a piece that feels both authentic and vulnerable. It’s a bold step that reaffirms his identity not just as a singer, but as a true musician and storyteller.

The release of “Jeong-ri”also holds symbolic weight. It is his first musical release since his 20th-anniversary album “With”, which was a reflective project looking back on two decades in the industry. Through ‘With’, Lee Seung-gi revisited the foundation of his career and reconnected with his original passion for music. Now, with “Jeong-ri” , he takes a confident step forward—ushering in a new chapter with sincerity, experience, and heartfelt intention.

Fans and music lovers alike are eagerly awaiting this comeback, not only for the return of Lee Seung-gi’s voice but for the meaningful storytelling he brings through his own words and melodies. ‘Jeong-ri’ is more than just a song—it’s a personal letter of closure and a new beginning.
