Lee Seung-gi Explores His Identity Through Meditation, Asks 'Who Am I?'

Singer Lee Seung-gi is drawing attention with his journey of deep self-reflection through meditation, a practice he's embraced to explore his life and identity. Having recently welcomed a child and established a family, he revealed that he's making time for introspection amidst his busy schedule.

This comes amid a global surge in meditation practitioners, as more people seek to escape the logic of material civilization and explore their inner selves. The documentary 'Meditative Humanity' on KBS 1TV will delve into this phenomenon over two parts, airing on September 13th and 14th. The first part, 'Who Am I?', features interviews with renowned meditators from various fields, examining meditation's historical and spiritual role, while the second part, 'Stop, See, Love,' will explore its principles and practices.

Prominent figures including neuroscientist Jang Dong-sun, pianist Im Hyun-jung, religious scholar Sung Hae-young, and architect Tadao Ando will share their profound experiences and life transformations gained through meditation. Lee Seung-gi himself confessed that after two decades of non-stop work as a singer, MC, and actor, meditation has prompted him to question what truly constitutes his happiness, resonating with viewers.

He shared, "As a singer, MC, and actor, I've run tirelessly for 20 years. Was it for recognition from others, or for my genuine happiness? Only after discovering meditation did I finally begin to ask myself that question."

Lee Seung-gi debuted as a singer in 2004, gaining immense popularity with hit songs like 'Because You're My Woman'. He later solidified his status as an all-around entertainer by successfully pursuing careers as an MC and actor. He recently married actress Lee Da-in and they have started a family.
