Lee Seon-kyun sings “Boy”

by javabeans

Although actor Lee Seon-kyun is often referred to as The Voice (by us fans, I mean), I didn’t really expect to see him take up singing — not in an official capacity, at least — but here he is, lending his vocals to a track on Yoon Sang‘s upcoming special album, “Songbook.”

Yes, Lee Seon-kyun has contributed his lovely baritone to songs on two of his previous dramas’ soundtracks: “Ocean Travel” [바다여행] from the Coffee Prince OST and “My Sweet City” [달콤한 나의 도시] from the drama My Sweet Seoul (listen below). But nice as his voice is, it’s not really much of a singing voice.

But I suppose that’s not the big draw. Veteran kpop musician Yoon Sang’s special album will feature big-name stars, including the likes of musician and songwriter Yoo Hee-yeol (aka Toy), vocal group Sweet Sorrow, rock band My Aunt Mary, rock-electronic artist W & Whale, girl group Girls Generation, and pop diva Uhm Jung-hwa. Lee Seon-kyun is the sole actor featured.

Lee is also appearing in the music video for the song he sings on the album, “Boy” [소년], which had originally been released in 1993 on Yoon Sang’s second album (listen below). The MV was recently filmed in Seoul and features a “touching love story.” Lee explains that his decision to participate on the album was because he had been a huge fan when “Boy” was first released in 1993, and that recording a song that held good memories for him was particularly meaningful.

“Songbook” goes on sale December 5.

An epithet is nothing more than an epithet.
Slightly rewarding right now, a burden that bind our talent in the future.
However, Lee Seon-Kyun will have no problem supporting such a commitment, because the stamp and the color of his voice are good.
If his desire and his pleasure to share will be support for his will, shortly, our ears will be pleasantly seduced, again, by a lovely baritone voice.

Hmm...is there going to be another MV starring him for the Songbook album? I just watched the MV that he starred in but it is not from the song that he sang (Boy). The song is from Yoon Gun. I would call it a charming love story, though.
