Lee Seung-gi's 477-Seat Concert Sold Out Despite Controversy Surrounding Recent Marriage, Returns to 'Master in the House'
Interest in Lee Seung-gi's activities continues as he is working hard in various areas, such as concerts and variety shows, amid the aftermath of his recent marriage issues.
Singer and actor Lee Seung-gi is set to hold his '2023 Lee Seung-gi Asia Tour Concert: Boy, Walking the Road - Chapter 2' concert at the Link Art Center PAYCO Hall from May 4th to 7th for four days. The concert tour will kick off in Seoul and travel to seven Asian countries.
According to the ticketing website, as of the afternoon of the 22nd, all seats for all shows in Korea are sold out. There may be changes in some seats due to cancellations until the day of the performance, but if the current situation persists, all seats for all shows are expected to be filled.
However, this concert had not sold out even two weeks after general ticket sales began on the 6th, leading to talks of weak ticket sales. Considering Lee Seung-gi's popularity and recognition, the fact that even weekend shows were not sold out is deemed extremely low, especially given the small capacity of 477 seats per show. In the past, Lee Seung-gi has filled the 15,000-seat Olympic Gymnastics Arena, making the contrast even more striking.
There have been interpretations suggesting that Lee Seung-gi's recent marriage issue might have affected his fans' sentiments. Lee Seung-gi has been in the spotlight and faced some criticism since he started dating actress Lee Da-in publicly. He also faced significant public criticism due to issues with his in-laws after holding a grand wedding with Lee Da-in in April.
Because of this, Lee Seung-gi expressed his emotional distress on the 12th, just five days after the wedding, saying, "Even close friends advised me to break up, considering my image. It was frustrating. My wife didn't choose her parents," and "It's unfair when the public is misinformed." He also claimed that some reports related to the allegations were false.
Lee Seung-gi, who has not spoken further on the matter, is expected to continue working hard in various fields, including his concert, the movie 'Big Family,' and the variety show 'Strong Heart League.' His appearance on SBS's 'Master in the House' has also been announced.
Previously, Lee Seung-gi was left out of 'Master in the House' Season 2 due to a settlement dispute with his former agency Hook Entertainment. With the show's finale on the 23rd, the 'Master in the House' team stated, "Season 1 original members Lee Seung-gi and Lee Sang-yoon will make a surprise appearance." Attention is now focused on Lee Seung-gi's future activities as he enters the second act of his career.
