Scouted by singer Lee Sun Hee (이선희), Lee Seung Gi trained for 2 years before debuting on 5 June 2004 at the age of 17. "Because You're My Girl" (내 여자라니까), his debut song from his first album The Dream Of A Moth (나방의 꿈), was a ballad which created "liking older women" syndrome in South Korea. With this song, he won the 'Best Newcomer' award in various music award ceremonies in 2004 (such as the M.net KM Music Festival, SBS Music Awards and MBC Best 10 Singers Music Festival). In 2007, he also won the "Best Male Solo Artist" award in the M.net KM Music Festival with his song "White Lie" (착한 거짓말) from his third album, Story Of Seperation (이별 이야기).
Seung Gi released digital single "Will You Marry Me" (결혼해 줄래) in 2009. With this single, he received the "Digital Single Bonsang" award in the 24th Golden Disk Awards. In 2010, he recorded a duet version of his 2007 song "Smile Boy" with South Korean figure skater Kim Yuna, and was used as the official 2010 FIFA World Cup commercial song in South Korea. He also received the "Digital Single Bonsang" award for the second consecutive time in the 25th Golden Disk Awards with his song "Love Taught Me To Drink".
In 2005, Seung Gi guest-starred in MBC's sitcom Nonstop 5. He then officially debuted as an actor in KBS's 2006 weekend drama 'The Infamous Chil Sisters'. In 2008, he was offered the main character role in MBC's historical drama 'The Return of Iljimae', but was forced to turn down the offer due to his tight schedule. He was cast as the main male character of SBS's weekend drama 'Brilliant Legacy' in 2009, starring with Korean actresses Han Hyo Joo and Moon Chae Won. The drama maintained its top spot in viewer ratings for ten consecutive weeks and ended on July 26, 2009 with its 28th episode attaining a high viewer rating of 47.1%.
The huge success boosted Lee Seung Gi's popularity as an actor in both South Korea and overseas. With this drama, he received the "Excellence in Acting (Special Production)" award, the "Top 10 Stars" award and the "Best Couple" award with Han Hyo Joo in the 2009 SBS Drama Awards. His great performance in 2010 SBS's Wednesday-Thursday drama 'My Girlfriend Is Gumiho' similarly earned him his second "Excellence in Acting (Drama Special)" award, "Top 10 Stars" award and "Best Couple" award with his co-star Shin Min Ah in the 2010 SBS Drama Awards. Also, in 2012, he participated in a drama called 'The King 2 Hearts'.
Lee graduated from Dongguk University within 4 years, obtaining his degree in International Trade and Commerce on February 20, 2009 and received a Special Achievement Award from the university. He is currently continuing his studies at the Graduate School of Dongguk University.
In March 2012, Lee announced his departure from television show 'Strong Heart', in order to focus on his singing career. He recorded his last episode on 15 March, which was broadcast on 3 April, after three years of being an MC for the program.
The Dreamers Dream
이승기 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
여전히 빈틈이 많고 부족하고
세상이 그저 너무 어렵고 무섭기만 해
숱한 관계 속에서 울고 또 웃고
이젠 알 것 같다고 말하면서도
순간 모든 게 많이 낯설고
주저앉게 돼
선택의 무게를 감당할 수 없어
조금은 내려놓고 싶기도 하고
흔들리는 마음 기댈 곳이 없어도
후회 않으려 해 견뎌보려 해
이 모든 걸 내 모든 걸
이 모든 걸 내 모든 걸
나는 아무것도 달라진 게 없어
분명 강해졌다고 생각했는데
사실은 그저 마음을 닫고 있을 뿐이고
가장 쉬운 일마저 아직 어려워
이게 정말 내가 원했던 길일까
매일 또 매일 의심 속에서 걸어가곤 해
선택의 무게를 감당할 수 없어
조금은 내려놓고 싶기도 하고
흔들리는 마음 기댈 곳이 없어도
후회 않으려 해 견뎌보려 해
이 모든 걸 내 모든 걸
이 모든 걸 내 모든 걸
나는 아무것도 달라진 게 없어
여전히 모르는 것들 투성이고
어렵긴 해도 내 길을 걸어가보려고 해
The lyrics of "The Dreamers Dream" by 이승기 revolve around the theme of navigating through life's challenges and self-doubt. The singer feels like nothing has really changed in their life and that they are still lacking in many areas. They find it difficult to cope with the weight of the choices they have made and the responsibilities they have to bear. Their mind is constantly in turmoil, even though they try their best to stay positive and not have any regrets. Despite all this, the singer is determined to keep moving forward and find their own path in life, even if it's difficult and full of uncertainty.
The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has struggled with self-doubt and uncertainty in their life journey. The use of metaphors such as "the weight of choices" and "the lack of a place to lean" convey the singer's feelings of being lost and overwhelmed by the pressures of life. The repetition of "이 모든 걸 내 모든 걸" ("All this is my all") further emphasizes the singer's determination to face their struggles with courage and resilience.

나는 아무것도 달라진 게 없어
I haven't had any real change in myself
여전히 빈틈이 많고 부족하고
I am still filled with gaps and insufficiencies
세상이 그저 너무 어렵고 무섭기만 해
The world just seems too difficult and scary
숱한 관계 속에서 울고 또 웃고
Amidst numerous relationships, I cry and laugh
이젠 알 것 같다고 말하면서도
Even though I say I think I know now
순간 모든 게 많이 낯설고
In an instant, everything becomes very unfamiliar
주저앉게 돼
And I am left feeling hesitant and anxious
선택의 무게를 감당할 수 없어
I can't handle the weight of my choices
조금은 내려놓고 싶기도 하고
Sometimes I want to let go just a little
흔들리는 마음 기댈 곳이 없어도
Even though my wavering heart has nowhere to rely on
후회 않으려 해 견뎌보려 해
I try to endure without regret
이 모든 걸 내 모든 걸
All of this is mine
나는 아무것도 달라진 게 없어
I haven't had any real change in myself
분명 강해졌다고 생각했는데
Although I thought I had certainly become stronger
사실은 그저 마음을 닫고 있을 뿐이고
I'm actually just closing my heart off
가장 쉬운 일마저 아직 어려워
Even the easiest things are still difficult for me
이게 정말 내가 원했던 길일까
Is this really the path I wanted to take?
매일 또 매일 의심 속에서 걸어가곤 해
Every day, I walk while filled with doubts
선택의 무게를 감당할 수 없어
I can't handle the weight of my choices
조금은 내려놓고 싶기도 하고
Sometimes I want to let go just a little
흔들리는 마음 기댈 곳이 없어도
Even though my wavering heart has nowhere to rely on
후회 않으려 해 견뎌보려 해
I try to endure without regret
이 모든 걸 내 모든 걸
All of this is mine
나는 아무것도 달라진 게 없어
I haven't had any real change in myself
여전히 모르는 것들 투성이고
I'm still full of things I don't know
어렵긴 해도 내 길을 걸어가보려고 해
Despite how hard it is, I try to walk on my path

When he sings, you can't tell the difference whether it is live or recording, because the the emotion and the quality of his voice are the same. Sometimes I thought its recording yet it is live. That's how good LSG as a singer. He is one of a kind. He's one of the best if not the BEST.
Ana Nepomuceno
true he is really good singer.one of the best if not best.
Elvira Gallano
Truly, just as when he did sang right away at Sing Again.
