Leessang's Gil Spotted Solo on Shanghai Trip, Shares Joyful Update

Singer Gil, formerly of the popular hip-hop duo Leessang, has recently shared a glimpse into his current life, drawing significant attention from fans. On May 4th, he posted a photo on his social media, declaring, "Off on a solo adventure after a long time! Let's go! Bring it on, Shanghai!" The image captured Gil at the airport, sporting his signature cap and sunglasses, exuding a cheerful vibe as he prepared for his journey. This update marks a rare public appearance for Gil, who stepped away from broadcast activities following a DUI controversy in 2017, which also led to the de facto disbandment of Leessang. Despite the past hiatus, fans noted his unchanging, youthful appearance. Since then, Gil has focused on his family, marrying in 2016 and welcoming his son, Ha-eum. Last November, he launched his YouTube channel, 'Bitnari Gilseongjun,' hinting at a cautious return to public engagement.

Gil, a former member of the popular hip-hop duo Leessang, was a prominent figure in the K-entertainment scene, especially known for his unique musical style and variety show appearances. He gained significant fame through his music and his role on MBC's hit program 'Infinite Challenge,' where his comedic timing and genuine personality resonated with viewers. After stepping away from public activities following a controversy, he has since focused on his family life and recently launched a YouTube channel, signalling a potential return to public engagement.
