Singer-songwriter Lee Seung-yoon shared various stories related to the release of his third full-length album Yeokseong LP.
Lee Seung-yoon attended as a special talk guest at the country's largest vinyl festival, the 14th Seoul Record Fair, held at PUBG Seongsu in Seongdong District, Seoul, on the 26th. Under the moderation of critic Kim Do-heon, Lee Seung-yoon spent about 50 minutes sharing with the audience the behind-the-scenes of the production of the third full-length album Yeokseong LP, which was released simultaneously online and offline on the 24th.
The third full-length album Yeokseong is an album that embodies the will to go against things that cannot be resisted, and Lee Seung-yoon's insightful message is fully contained across 15 tracks.
That day, Lee Seung-yoon hinted about the sonic differences between LP and CD, saying, I think releasing vinyl involves the final process unique to LPs, so if you consider that the last techniques and final touches for the Yeokseong vinyl were applied, you might enjoy listening to it a little more.
In particular, the Yeokseong LP for the third full-length album realized its distinctive sound with support from Scott Hull, a veteran vinyl mastering engineer with 39 years of experience. Lee Seung-yoon said, I devoted a lot of care to producing this LP. I asked Scott Hull, who handled the mastering for the second full-length album Dream Residence LP, to do the same, and as always he tied up the work very well, crediting him.
Lee Seung-yoon also chose Deulkigo sipeun ma-eumege as the song he most wanted listeners to hear first on LP when asked. Lee Seung-yoon said, While doing the final audio work on Deulkigo sipeun ma-eumege, I worked very hard to create dynamic waveforms. I recommend it because the LP process maximized the dynamics.
Finally, regarding Yeokseong's first anniversary, Lee Seung-yoon said, Yeokseong was actually our story, and I had a grateful year as many people over the past year seemed to have their own Yeokseong.
Leading the revival of the domestic band scene, Lee Seung-yoon achieved a triple crown at the 22nd Korean Music Awards, taking home trophies for Musician of the Year, best rock song and best modern rock song. Shining as the first in Korean Music Awards history to win two genre institutional sector awards simultaneously, Lee Seung-yoon has recently expanded his presence beyond Korea to Taiwan, the Czech Republic, Germany and Japan with Road to Borak Taipei, Colors of Ostrava 2025, Reeperbahn Festival 2025 and 2025 K-Indie On Festival, raising expectations for his future activities.
