Singer Lee Seung-hwan has personally addressed the retirement rumors surrounding him.

On the 14th, through his social media, Lee Seung-hwan clarified that his statement about 'not producing shows for a while' referred to stepping back from his usual role of overseeing every aspect of his concerts, a task he has undertaken for years, producing three to four shows annually.

Previously, he had written about living this way for 35 years, preparing for new performances immediately after finishing one, and stated, 'I will live like this only until November.' However, this statement was misconstrued, leading to speculation about his retirement.

Responding to this, Lee Seung-hwan shared a related news article, explaining, 'This was the content of the opening remarks for the HEAVEN concert.' He further dismissed the retirement rumors by adding, 'The tour ends in November. I will take some rest too.'

Known as the 'Emperor of Live,' Lee Seung-hwan has carved out a unique performance culture in the Korean music scene. His concerts consistently deliver profound emotional experiences to audiences through original directing and solid live performances. This clarification allows fans to understand his current activities better and continue to support his future endeavors.
