On the 17th and 18th, he successfully held his 2024 solo concert ‘OBSESSED’ at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Seoul.
‘Obsessed’ is Lee Gi-kwang’s first solo concert in five years, and is a performance that will allow viewers to fully experience his true value as a solo artist. All tickets were sold out during the fan club pre-sale.
Lee Gi-kwang presented a captivating stage with a total of 25 songs, including his signature groovy performance and solid live skills, as well as powerful dance breaks and genre-specific arrangements.
Lee Gi-kwang, who opened the concert with a strong performance of the title song “PREDATOR” from his first full-length album released last year, said, “I’m happy to be able to hold a solo concert with so many people after 5 years,” and “I’m having a great time thanks to my fans.” He continued with a splendid performance of “DCYE (Don’t Close Your Eyes)” and “BLIND,” creating a spectacular scene in which Lee Gi-kwang and the audience became addicted to each other, just like the name of the concert suggests.
Lee Gi-kwang, who changed the mood with the ballad new song ‘Ijeya’ released ahead of the concert, led the fans’ ‘chant-along’ during the ‘LONELY’ and ‘FAVORITE’ stages. He caught people’s attention with new attempts such as the rock version of ‘What You Like’, the band version of ‘Beautifully’, and heightening the mood with the intro and outro performances on each stage.
The sexy mood containing Lee Ki-kwang’s wine-colored voice began with a solo version of Highlight’s latest song ‘Switch On’, which he wrote and composed himself. Lee Ki-kwang proudly said, “I prepared a stage that you will like by pouring my soul into it without resting even for a single day, a concert that has all the flavors” and delivered captivating stages such as ‘Who Are You’ and ‘Misunderstanding’. The religious-feeling performance of ‘RELIGIOUS’ left lingering feelings and thrills.
The VCR, which is like a movie, also caught attention. Lee Ki-kwang played the dual roles of a ‘predator’ and a ‘prey’, and persuasively expressed the story of how they become addicted to each other and eventually become one. This gave meaning to the storytelling of the entire performance and left an impression of Lee Ki-kwang’s intense side.
Lee Gi-kwang, who approached fans directly and made eye contact with them for the encore songs “ONE” and “DIVE,” said, “I hope this performance will be remembered in your hearts and minds for a long time,” and promised, “I will continue to be an artist who can show the best and greatest stage to fans anytime, anywhere.” He added to the emotion by getting emotional when introducing the members’ sincere messages of support and encouragement.
Meanwhile, Highlight, which Lee Gi-kwang is a part of, is currently on the ‘LIGHTS GO ON, AGAIN’ Asia tour and is also meeting fans through various summer festivals.
