Reviving old Project: a Look At Lee Seung Gi’s Discographies (2016)

Since the show came out a month ago, I’ve been overwhelmed by a mix of emotions. I’ve found myself diving deep into Seunggi’s entire discography — yes, all the albums. It’s something I haven’t done in three years, and it feels both nostalgic and intense.

When I was cleaning my browsing history, I stumbled upon a blog post of mine from 2016. At that time when Seunggi was in military service, I listed all of his discographies to be reviewed. It’s a long time ago and I forgot about that since then. The post was released on February 27, 2016 (https://bananapatatta.wordpress.com/2016/02/27/a-look-at-lee-seung-gis-discographies-entries/). One thing I kept in mind as I only reviewed mini and regular albums (since he had so many materials released back then)

Here’s a thing. I will start randomly reviewing each of the albums and give my opinion based on what I feel at present. Plus, Maybe I can give a kinda of objective review since I am not bound by fandoms anymore.

So, Here’s the list of Seunggi’s Albums I’d like to review

1. Dream of a Moth (2004) — 1st Regular Album
2. Crazy for You (2006) — 2nd Regular Album
3. Story of Separation & Unfinished Story (2007) — 3rd Regular Album (+ Repackaged)
4. Shadow (2009) & Shadow (Repackaged) (2010) — 4th Regular Album
5. Tonight (2011) — 5th Regular Album
6. Forest (2012) — 1st Mini Album/5.5th Album
7. And…(2015) — 6th Regular Album
8. The Project (2020) — 7th Regular Album

I was thinking about her and wondered if she’d like to read my post after all these years (I’ve missed her, by the way). She’s an old mutual of mine who used to love sharing sentiments and rants whenever Seunggi released new music back then. If you happen to find this post somewhere, hello from me!

I’m one of those people who love Seunggi’s music more than anything else (which, ironically, led some to call me a hater — I rarely support his non-music projects). He’s a musician who’s spent years perfecting drama-laden ballads and grand, soaring tunes. Occasionally, he ventures into pop-funk and dance tracks, but his real strength lies in his ballads. They’re powerful enough to stir deep emotions, even bring listeners to tears, as if he’s singing just for them. It might sound exaggerated, but I stand by it.

Alright then, stay tuned for the first part of my review series. Get ready for a wild, emotional journey ahead!
