On August 30, Lee Jae Wook appeared on KBS2’s “The Seasons – Zico’s Artist”, where he mesmerized the audience with his impressive singing skills, which rivaled those of professional singers.
Zico, who hosts the show, revealed how he personally invited Lee Jae Wook to appear, saying, “I saw him in a casual setting, and he was so tall and handsome. Plus, he sang really well. He was humming a song, and it was so beautiful that I invited him to the venue..”
Lee Jae Wook, who revealed that he was part of a hip-hop club during high school, added humorously, “I looked angry back then. It seemed cool at the time, but now I find it embarrassing. I even made songs called “Gang” and “Killer” for practice..”
For his first song on stage, Lee Jae Wook chose Primary’s “Johnny.” During his warm-up duet with Zico, when Zico introduced the song with the line, “Do you know Jae Wook?“, Lee Jae Wook skillfully responded “The one who behaves well?“, instantly increasing the energy. At the end of the song, Lee Jae Wook sang the line “I’m alone” with deep emotion, attracting attention.
Lee Jae Wook then gave a flawless solo performance, choosing Parc Jae Jung’s “Let’s Say Goodbye” for his next song. His stable high notes and sincere expression of emotions in the song were so perfect that he could easily pass for a professional singer. Zico said that this was the song Lee Jae Wook was humming when he first discovered it, raising the audience’s expectations. Lee Jae Wook explained that he chose the song because he plans to join the army next year and wants to be active before he leaves.
After the broadcast, Lee Jae Wook’s performance received such a positive reaction that there were even calls for him to make his singing debut. Some viewers speculated that his musical choices may have been influenced by thoughts of his ex-girlfriend Karina. In February, Lee Jae Wook confirmed his relationship with Karina, which garnered worldwide attention. The two first met at luxury brand P’s collection event in January, where Lee Jae Wook fell in love at first sight and began dating Karina. However, their relationship was met with negative reactions, especially from Karina’s fan base, leading to their breakup just five weeks later.
