Lee Seung-hwan (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler; born December 13, 1965)[1] is a South Korean singer and record producer known as the country's "King of Live Performances" for his frequent solo concerts. Lee debuted in 1989 as a pop ballad singer and later incorporated rock elements into his music. He has released numerous hit songs and is the president and founder of South Korean entertainment agency Dream Factory.[2][3][4]
Personal life
Lee was born in Busan, South Korea, and attended Whimoon High School[5] in Seoul.[6]
He was married to actress Chae Rim from 2003 until their divorce in 2006.[7]
Career
Lee has released more than 10 different singles, albums and EPs that reached number one. This commercial success was repeated in South Korea; his own company, Dream Factory, estimated that he has sold over 10 million records, including singles. Lee is a first musician as a president of his company. His debut album, "...B.C 603" propelled him to stardom on October 15, 1989. He won the New Artist's Gold Disc in 1991. He has held more 1000 solo concerts and those concerts have been contributed to develop Korea pop-culture.
"Chakage Salja (Template:Ko-hhrm; lit, Let's Live a Good Life)" is a fund-raising concert which Lee hosts every year. Part of the money raised goes to Korean Childhood Leukemia Foundation.
Activism
Lee supported protests calling for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol over his declaration of martial law in December 2024. Lee has called members of the People Power Party “accomplices to rebellion” for boycotting the impeachment vote in the National Assembly on 7 December. He has also donated 12.13 million won ($8,468) to a civic group organizing pro-impeachment candlelight rallies and has rewrote some of his songs for impeachment-themed rallies.[8]
