A representative from Hook Entertainment stated, “Lee Seung Gi will be making a comeback with his 5.5 mini-album on November 22.“ The as-yet-unnamed mini-album is his first release since his 5th album ‘Tonight‘ last year.

Though the album will feature the singer’s trademark ballads, it will steer away from the rock ballad genre to a more soothing sound.

He’ll also be holding the ‘Lee Seung Gi Hope Concert‘ at Seoul’s Olympic Park Gymnasium on December 1 and 2 KST.
