Nation’s Son-in-Law, Lee Seung Gi, has once again proved his brilliant reputation and a champion’s strong will. Even after a wave of massive contempt and criticism from the media, singer Lee Seung Gi managed to rise again and sell out all the tickets for his upcoming 2023 concert. So, what happened to Lee Seung Gi, and why the criticism? Check out the following report for a complete discussion of singer Lee Seung Gi and his upcoming 2023 concert.
Lee Seung Gi Under Contempt for Empty Seats for 2023 Concert: “Cannot Sell Tickets”
On April 20, Korean media Newsen reported that Lee Seung Gi faced difficulties in selling his upcoming 2023 concert tickets.
According to the report, over 130 seats remained unsold for the 477-seat venue at Link Arts Center Payco Hall. It is the Seoul venue where Lee Seung Gi would hold his upcoming 2023 concert.
The report further mentioned that since ticket sales were available, Lee Seung Gi failed to sell an average of 33 seats each day. That is why on April 20 at 9 AM KST, the media recorded over 130 empty seats during the 4 days the ticket sales were open.
The 2023 Lee Seung Gi Asia Tour Concert “The Dreamers Dream – Chapter 2” is the first Asia tour in 4 years since his 2019 fan meeting. The singer-actor will be holding his solo concerts in 4 other major cities overseas: Tokyo, Osaka, Taipei, and Manila, along with the opening act in Seoul.
While anticipation originally skyrocketed due to his comeback as a singer after a massive dispute with Hook Entertainment, media reported that the tables had slightly turned.
Why? Because Lee Seung Gi continued his relationship and married Lee Da In. And this marriage changed South Korea’s public opinion of him. Due to his marriage and in-laws’ issues, Lee Seung Gi no longer holds the ‘upright guy’ and Nation’s Son-in-Law image in South Korea.
And this is what reportedly caused Lee Seung Gi 2023 concert tickets to sell slowly.
Turning the Table and Selling Out All the Concert Tickets – Lee Seung Gi is a K-Entertainment Hero!
However, once again, the singer-actor proved the public wrong.
Instead, Lee Seung Gi demonstrated a will as strong as a champion, showcasing his brilliant reputation and selling out all the tickets for his upcoming 2023 concert.
E-Daily reported on April 22 that no more tickets for Lee Seung Gi’s solo concert are available on the official website. It means that singer-actor Lee Seung Gi has sold all the tickets for his first solo concert in 10 years after his last solo concert, Hope, in 2013.
Not only once but many times, Lee Seung Gi has demonstrated a powerful champion-like will and mentality. Despite all the challenges, criticisms, and contempt the public threw at him, Lee Seung Gi remains strong and unbending, proving his billions worth with high-quality talents, skills, and professionalism.
After all, the public’s contempt and criticism mostly came from South Korea’s citizens who had witnessed the scandal surrounding Lee Da In’s parents firsthand. As a result, some fans even decided to stop supporting Lee Seung unless he no longer associates himself with the family.
On the other hand, Lee Seung Gi’s international Airen fans remain loyal and faithful in supporting his journey. They believe that Lee Seung Gi has the right to live the life he had long deserved. And no child should bear the sins of their parents.
And with the recent battle against Hook Entertainment, Lee Seung Gi has created a new path in the Korean entertainment industry. That is especially meaningful after the South Korean government finally passed a ‘Lee Seung Gi Crisis Prevention Act’ that limits the power a company holds against their artists, especially minors.
Lee Seung Gi has become a hero who fights against abuse and discrimination in the South Korean Entertainment industry.

I think it's heartbreaking that Seung Gi lost popularity due to his in laws. The guy is the same exact person people supposedly liked him for (hard working, respectful, talented, loyal, etc) and now all of that no longer matters because he's not the idealized image they wanted anymore.
Although his loss in popularity hurts, I have gained a new found admiration and appreciation for his true fans who have continued to support and show up for him. It's easy to like and support someone when everything is sunshine & rainbows but the true measure of a person is what they do when the chips are down. Kudos to the fans who pushed the real numbers regarding his concert sells. Much love for the people who not only excitedly bought tickets but have also been promoting the tour. And so much respect and admiration for Seung Gi himself. He's going through alot and yet he's staying resilient, passionate, and determined. I'm sure each concert will be
a special experience for all those that attend.
