TeachingLee Chanhyuk is once again shaking the K-Pop landscape, but this time it is not just a show.
In particular, on July 22, Lee Chanhyuk delivered his first live performance of the new “endanged Love” track through a phase of “Open Concert” KBS, which was pre-published on YouTube. What has developed was more than a simple musical act, but a bold and chaotic mixture of performance art, parody and emotional release.
Dress with a dress inspired by Michael Jackson, who included straight hair, sunglasses and a fedora, Chanhyuk opened his set in a typical enigmatic way. But what came after the spectators left stunned: from the knee to the middle of the song and harmfully looking at the backup singers, to pass abruptly to lunges and push-ups, he offered a truly unpredictable phase.
The spectators flooded the comments with awe and disbelief section, leaving mostly positive and reviews such as, “Chanhyuk is doing what he wants, and it works”, “he seemed to have possessed Michael Jackson”, “I never appreciated the backup voice so much earlier”. AND “I was already shocked by the lunges, but then he also made push-ups.”
But this is not the first lee brush with experimentalism. His unpredictable buffonate stadium and an eccentric image previously led a little to give him a “GD illness” patient, a label that accused him of imitating G-dragon’s eclectic style.
In 2022, during the promotions for his first solo album “Error”, Lee Chanhyuk read a newspaper on a sofa placed in the middle of a road and was immobile inside a transparent box, imitating a figurine. Once he sang with his shoulders to the audience and even shaved his head live on the stage. These stunts are born the meme in which people said, “Chanhyuk, please stop doing what you want.”
However, over time, these “strange experiments” have matured in a recognizable artistic identity. From its line “Hip-hop is no longer beautiful” ON Show me the money to the retro reinterpretations in his second album with full figure “EROS”THE Teaching The member showed that his ideas are not only daring, but also significant.
Now, rather than deriding terms such as “GD syndrome”, fans and critics are re -evaluating his work through a more respectful artistic lens. His relentless self-expression, once divisive, is now seen as a courageous redefinition of what can be a K-pop artist.
