Singer-songwriter Lee Seung-yoon‘s ‘Yeokseong’ also heated up Daejeon.

Lee Seung-yoon met with fans at the Daejeon DCC Daejeon Convention Center on the 16th for his nationwide tour ‘2024 LEE SEUNG YOON CONCERT 易聲’ (hereafter ‘Yeokseong’).

On this day, Lee Seung-yoon opened the concert by performing ‘Stereo’, a track from his third regular album ‘Yeokseong’, for the first time at the Daejeon concert. He then performed ‘Into Road’, ‘Gain Caution’, and ‘Fake Dreams’, which immediately heated up the atmosphere. Lee Seung-yoon, who has garnered attention with his varied setlists for each performance, made this Daejeon performance special by adding ‘Anonymous Earthling’, ‘Space Like Something to Drink’, ‘Your Circumference’, ‘Collecting Scattered Dreams’.

Lee Seung-yoon’s signature unpredictable stage was also showcased. Lee Seung-yoon presented a pleasant twist by leaving the audience and drinking coffee in the waiting room during ‘Let‘s Fly’, a song famous for crashing the audience. Lee Seung-yoon also added variations to various parts of the performance, such as taking a group photo at the end of the performance instead of the usual one at the beginning. In particular, in ‘I Want to Get Caught’, Lee Seung-yoon sang passionately with an acoustic guitar and no microphone, and the audience responded with a sing-along, creating a spectacular scene where everyone’s voices filled the concert hall.

In addition, Lee Seung-yoon sang ‘If I Have to Be Cliché’ and ‘Dream Residence’ in acoustic versions. He also moved everyone with a packed setlist including ‘Sword String’, ‘Firecracker Time’, ‘Return Match’, ‘SOLD OUT’, ‘Black Trace’, ‘Blow into Me’, ‘Canon’, ‘Who Who Who Who’, ‘Expensive Hangover’, ‘I Wanted to Tell You’, ‘Waterfall’. In response to the endless requests for encores, Lee Seung-yoon delivered a heavy resonance until the end with the title song ‘Yeokseong’ and the track ‘Against the End’ from his third regular album.

Lee Seung-yoon, who released his third regular album ‘Yeokseong’ last October, achieved meaningful results such as setting his own record for the highest sales in the first week of its release. The nationwide tour concerts that started in Seoul and continued through Jeonju, Busan, Songdo, and Daejeon are drawing explosive responses at each concert, showing off his performance powerhouse. Having successfully concluded the previous concerts, Lee Seung-yoon will visit Gwangju on the 30th and raise the ‘Yeokseong’ flag once again at the Gwangju Women‘s University City Universiade Gymnasium.
