Singer (2004–present)

Scouted by singer Lee Sun-hee, Lee Seung-gi trained for 2 years before debuting on 5 June 2004 at the age of 17. Because You're My Girl, his debut song from his first album The Dream Of A Moth, was a popular ballad which created a "liking older women" syndrome in South Korea. With this song, he won the "Best Newcomer" award in various music awards ceremonies in 2004 such as the M.net KM Music Festival and Seoul Music Awards. In 2007, he also won the "Best Male Solo Artist" award[6] in the M.net KM Music Festival with his song White Lie from his third album Story Of Separation.

Lee released a digital single Will You Marry Me in 2009, which became a big hit in South Korea although there was no official promotion. With this single, he received the "Digital Single Bonsang" award[7] in the 24th Golden Disk Awards. In 2010, he recorded a duet version of his 2007 song Smile Boy with South Korean figure skater Kim Yuna, and the song was the official 2010 FIFA World Cup commercial song[8][9] in South Korea. He also received the "Digital Single Bonsang" award[10] for the second consecutive time in the 25th Golden Disk Awards with his song Love Taught Me To Drink even though it was not promoted actively.

On 10 June 2015, Lee made his music comeback with his sixth album And... after a hiatus of two years and seven months.[19] The album's title track And Goodbye reached number one on the real-time music charts but due to irreparable damage to the film footage, the song's music video was released at only one minute long.[20] Hook Entertainment apologized to fans for the incident, explaining that there wasn't enough time to re-shoot the footage before the album's release.[21]

On 21 January 2016 according to his agency Hook Entertainment Lee will be enlisting on February 1. As a gift to fans, Lee also released a new track on January 21 at noon, “I Am Going To The Military".[22] In fact, his new song "I'm Going to The Military" has achieved an all-kill on real time music charts. His single hit number one on all main 8 music charts as soon as it was released.
