He just released a new song "Happily Ever After" from the movie "순정만화" OST.

He has such an awesome voice!

I first saw him in 2004 with his "Heart Disease" song.

Awe..I do remember him marrying Chaerim and them divorcing a few years later.

Great to finally see a thread of him!

Singer Lee Seung-hwan has prepared his “ORIGINAL Hit Songs Version Christmas Concert” this winter. He will celebrate his 20th anniversary as a singer next year, and this concert will be a chance for him and fans to reminisce past songs and other memories.

This is the first time for the singer to arrange a concert with only ballads, leaving many of his rock number fans in dismay.

However, Lee will raise the atmosphere with his band, 20-member orchestra and even a movie made just for the event.

“The movie will work as a great tool to bring out memories. This performance will be a show that nobody else can imitate,” Kim Hyung-taek from Lee’s agency, Dream Factory, said.

Lee’s concert will be held at the Fencing Stadium, Olympic Park, Dec. 24-26. Tickets cost from 55,000 won to 132,000 won. For more information, call (02) 563-0595.
