"Is the hair still suitable?" Because I was going to shave off soon, I did this for the first time..."
The boy band BTOB Lee Chang-seop (27 years old) dyed white hair and smiled shyly. Facing enlistment on January 14 next year, his voice is different from his out-of-the-box hairstyle and appears very calm.
On the 10th, Lee Chang-seop met with reporters at CUBE Entertainment in Seosui-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, introduced his first solo album "MARK" released on the 11th, and delivered a speech on enlistment.
"Want to shave your hair during this month. If you shave off on the eve of enlistment, fans will be even more sad, and you can only adapt if you show it to everyone in advance. He said
He went on to say, "Actually, when you're older, it's time to enlist, and it feels very calm. Now is the time for the army to reorganize. I haven't had the opportunity to have a time that belongs to me completely, whether it's me or music, I'll come back after growing up well," "If I leave the army in August 2020, the feeling will come out quickly." Would be more welcome to come back. He said confidently.
He also expressed his thoughts for TSEB captain Xu Enguang, who joined the army first this summer. As rumored, there is a good team spirit, and Xu Enguang made various suggestions to Lee Chang-sup.
"My brother has gained a lot more weight than you think, so don't worry, he said' he said, 'You'll be able to adapt well as soon as you come.'" As soon as I said my brother's name, I missed him. One of the most influential people in my life is Brother Enguang. If you don't meet your brother, you can't become a singer or become a bad person. If I go the wrong way, I may be the one who has been caught. "
Lee Chang-sup confided that through the production of this album, he has grown a lot in music. When I debuted as the lead vocal of BBOB in 2012, I was still thinking about how to express a lyric and melody, but now my ability to understand the lyrics has improved a lot.
The album's name, Mark, as stated in the dictionary, is intended to leave traces of Lee Chang-seop in the world of ballads. Including the title songs "Gone", "Way", "Gap", "Shelter", "Ever" He was responsible for the lyrics of five songs and also participated in the composition.
Although there are also lyrical songs sung in BTOB, the title song "Gone" is a rock lyric full of power, and his friend Apink Park Chulong starred in the MV, and BTOB colleague PENIEL took album cover photos and supported the shooting.
"It's an album that was made exactly according to my interests. The original dream was to become a rock star. The tracks I want to recommend to fans are "Gone" and "Ever." My mood now is all in it. Gone, in particular, was written while thinking about Melody, which is what we both want to disappear from this sinister world. Through this album, I want to convey the relationship between people and the compound feelings that I feel from people. ”
In particular, after Lee Chang-sup watched the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" during the production of the album, he felt that "whether it is work or art, it cannot be done alone."
He said, "There's a scene in the film where Freddie Mercury is doing solo and saying' When you're saying something, no one is against me, I need you guys' to get the members back. I feel very much empathy for this. ”
He is always a quick and vivid icon for the public, and he confesses that he is like the average 20-something youth, sometimes frustrated.
"When Singing, I doubted me many times, and I often thought, 'Is this the end?' maybe there's something wrong with the practice method, so the growth rate is very slow. Does the talent of the singer have to be fully mastered? Every moment is busy with distress. Still, the reason I haven't stopped trying is because I've only recently realized that I can be someone's role model. During the campaign period of "Beautiful but Painful", BTOB met a newcomer male idol in a music program. A friend wrote to me that he was a fan, and he said that seeing me had nurtured his dream of being a singer. "The mood is good and at the same time there is a subtle sense of responsibility. It's a very heavy profession, and I think it's a profession that should guard dreams. ”
After experiencing the release of his first solo album, enlisting in the army and other major events, he asked Lee Chang-seop what kind of person he wanted to become? And he said, "I want to be a singer."
"When I was a kid, I was asked if I wanted to be an artist or a singer. At that time, my answer was also 'I want to be a singer'. I think that the best artists who can correctly convey the meaning of a certain work are far behind. Only by accumulating a lot of experience can we become an excellent communicator. As we age, we don't make the crisp treble like we used to, but the expressiveness becomes richer and richer. I want to sing until it turns white, until the voice doesn't come out. ”
Lee Chang-sup will hold the '2019 Lee Chang-sup Solo Concert SPACE' at Yes24Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, january 5-6 next year. The new album will be released at 6 p.m. that day.
