Singer Seongri has risen to global "sold-out man."
On the 24th, magazine TrotTier said that the preorders for "TrotTier August issue Seongri," produced in four versions (A, B, C, D) to capture Seongri's diverse charms, were held from the 8th to the 22nd, and all prepared quantities sold out at lightning speed amid explosive fan interest.
This record was driven by the voluntary purchase participation and passionate support of fans centered on Seongri's official fan cafe "Seongri scholars." Fans did not stop at personal purchases for their own collections but even carried out donation purchase relays they proposed themselves, adding meaning by spreading a warm "good influence" beyond mere sales records.
This August issue was planned under the weighty concept "STAND TALL: Seongri's stage, made stronger by walking a long time." It fully contains the 10-year journey Seongri has walked—from starting as the main vocalist of an idol group to now firmly establishing himself as a "complete trot artist"—as well as his musical world and stage philosophy.
In this in-depth interview, Seongri candidly revealed the musical evolution process by which he has meticulously crafted his own sound. He fully disclosed the secrets of his vocal design, which freely moves between his distinctive clear timbre and deep appeal, and revealed stage know-how for maintaining unwavering vocal power even amid intense performances, drawing attention.
It also contains intimate confessions from the person Kim Seongri, who silently endured long periods of obscurity and multiple audition rejections. Above all, he delivers a touching emotion by openly showing special affection for the fandom "Seongri scholars," who stayed by his side during hard times, and his exceptional filial devotion to his mother.
A TrotTier official said, "We are deeply grateful for the enthusiastic support shown by Seongri and the fandom Seongri scholars," and added, "We will continue to present distinctive content that records the authenticity and musical depth of K-trot artists in depth."<
