Thank you
I will formally greet you
currently, army-serving in the Special Forces 13th Airborne Brigade, 75th Battalion
and as of today… now a sergeant
I am Sergeant Lee Seunggi
Solidarity!
Thank You
Today..
Thank you..with the new soldiers up front here, I feel strengthened
Last year, around this time, we had an anniversary concert, right?
Actually at that time, I was at a lower rank than everyone there
I was a Private First Class then and performing under that context
I too was nervous and the audience perhaps wasn't ready for that quite yet
However, as I took the stage today, it felt completely different from last year and I sensed an exciting energy so I believe today's concert will be fun.
Today, I'm even more excited and reassured because aside from me, behind the stage
Behind here...
there's no one…
if I said that, you all would be disappointed, right?!
There are some highly impressive people back there, so everyone here, get rid of your stress and I hope this will be memorable to you.
Hold on a second
I wore this in-ear so I would look cool…
Nothing's coming out of the in-ear, please check this for me.
You know, many singers try to look cool by fidgeting with their in-ear like this
I understand that up front, mostly enlisted soldiers are seated here.
Did you prepare a lot for today?
Wow your fighting energy is awesome today.
Where are you all from? So energetic!
Ahhh the 75th Battalion? Ahhh as expected. I didn't you know you were the 75th Battalion
In the back, where are you from?
Jang-Jeung-dae
As expected, Jang-Jeung-dae! I think as a whole, the Jang-Jeung-dae support is great.
There's also Soo-Song-dae… is Soo-Song-dae kind of weak?
Ahh Soo-Song-dae is over here?
Sounds a bit weaker than Jang-Jeung-dae
Jang-Jeung-dae, scream!
Soo-Song-dae, scream!
Soo-Song-dae seems better
75th Battalion, scream!
Wow that was great!
I'll sing my next song. I thought about what songs I haven't really sung within our Brigade and I thought I should sing this song
A song that supposedly many males have sung at the norae-bang, but couldn't reach the high notes…
Love Taught Me To Drink
Thank You
Already an encore?
If encore, it means I need to already leave the stage
Today, as we celebrate our 13th Airborne Brigade's 40th Anniversary
we thought a lot about how we can showcase more things this year and make it a great concert.
And again this time, without hesitation… perhaps because our brigade has good fortune, many people have come to celebrate with us.
Seeing that we have a wonderful stage prepared, I think I am someone who has really good fortune. I'm thankful we have a packed stage ready for you.
For my 3rd song, I'll continue with one ballad song…
rather than songs I've sang a lot, this song… you'll know it when you hear it.
When I first appeared on a program called 1 Night 2 Days…
Actually, I went on the show to promote my song but somehow that encounter turned into close to 5 years of traveling our country.
It is a song very dear to me and a song I want to share with you…
I will sing 'Unfinished Story' for you
You have to please stop calling me Squad Leader since my shoulders feel heavy
I will be discharged at the end of October
You're cheering for me, to congratulate me, right?!
When I was first assigned to our Brigade… I wasn't a soldier who had applied to be in the Special Forces.
At the time, I was a common recruit at the Nonsan Army Training Center who had received an intelligence specialty
I learned I had been assigned to the Special Forces on the day of the Completion Ceremony… um and I didn't know what that entailed at the time.
They said there was airborne training and I thought~ what, more training? Training at Nonsan is good enough, no? I was somewhat curious too.
But I had acrophobia and I heard you had to parachute, so I thought~ just tell them I can't go; I have acrophobia, how can I go?! But the army is not about that, right?
But I came to realize that life can really be unpredictable… There are so many things I learned and conquered through coming to the Special Forces.
All the military management/executives here are so very impressive and I thought how do they overcome all these things, bearing all the pains and train, and work so hard for our country?
Outside of here, there may be people who are famous, have status, or a lot of money or stuff like that… but all that aside, I saw that the people here, moreso than anyone else, are sincere and strong-willed and how proud we are of the Special Forces.
Because of you, starting with the severe winter training, then The Long March and the remaining naval training… I'll have so many varied experiences when I leave. Particularly, in the case of The Long March… the biggest test of my life!
Like how can someone make people do this? And the fact that people do it!
All of you who do it because they make us~ you are truly amazing and it shocked me. If someone next next to us would have given up, I would have given up together. But no one gave up!
As expected, my feet were all bruised and there were so many times I wanted to give up, but the comrades walking next to me… Through The Long March, I came to poignantly understand why we are comrades and have to work together to be strong soldiers.
To the soldiers seated up front here and there are others who will be serving further, and all the management/executives and majors here continuing to serve and protect our country
I will always support you from wherever I am, and I will always take pride in my Special Forces ties as I carry out my life in the entertainment industry. Thank you.
Now it's my last song
Typically the sequence is that you say it's the last song and you respond by saying~ Encore
But you can be disappointed all you want to your heart's desire
Everyone's ready to race, right?
How about we hear it then~ 13th Black Panther scream!
How come the best never comes out the first time~ that's always fascinating
Ok let's go a second time…
and the people in the back, especially our management/executives who may be conscientious and be thinking~ is it okay if I do this?
you're going to have to throw away that thinking today
Ok we'll go one more time. One more time
13th Black Panther scream!
Ok let's go~ Let's Go On Vacation
Thank you
Are you having a good time?! Me too, today I'm so excited it doesn't even seem like I've sung 4 songs.
Really seems like time hasn't passed that much… but the current time is 20:44
Of course, I'd love to take this further, but behind me, there are singers that I too want to see
So, I'll sing my final encore song…
Since he told me come down, I'll hurry it up
Is there a particular song you want to hear?
Louder~ 1 2 3~
this should be a cue for 'Because You're My Woman' but you inappropriately said 'Delete' over there
but thank you so much
'Because You're My Woman' and 'Delete' are both from my 1st album.
And the person who wrote and composed this song is waiting backstage.
It's an encounter I'm really thankful for. So I'll sing this song and sign off
I'll sing 'Because You're My Woman' for you.
Thank you
Now that's the last of my songs and I will briefly introduce the next person who'll take the stage.
What, IU?
IU didn't come
I wish IU had come too. I wish IU was here too.
This person is actually younger than me, a hoobae but…
come on, that's all I said and you think it's IU!
This is a musician I really like and there's a lot of times I've been moved while listening to this singer's music. A musician I also admire.
Everyone~ are you ready?
When this person comes out, you can't be having heart problems are fainting
I think at least 2 persons fainting is okay since we all know how to address that.
Everyone
we've brought a very important guest
As it wasn't easy, please show all your energy!
Please don't lean forward too much as there could be an accident.
It wasn't easy to bring this guest so please give a big passionate welcome.
Right now
we'll introduce them by video
You're busy these days since your Exhale album came out~
These days… I'm not that busy
On top of that, you're also humble!
So, we are Special Forces, Nation's 'Black Panther' Brigade
Black Panther Brigade. Ahhh even the name is cool~
Ahhh Black Panther Brigade
Ok all of you are enjoying this so much that I can't think of what to say
Honestly, I'm even feeling…
But wow~
How long has it been since you've come to an army concert?
Army concert~ I think it's been about 5-6 years.
It's been a really long time!
How does it feel now that you're here?
Actually, I was backstage early and I heard the other performances, and there were belly dancers
and Sergeant Lee Seunggi was also singing…
Oh thank you~ I was actually promoted to Sergeant today
You were promoted today?!
I was promoted today. Originally it was supposed to be another day but it was changed due to the concert.
Wow congratulations!
Thank you.
For me, seeing IU is more of a blessing. Although I'm an entertainer too, I feel nervous… and this is really hard.
Aw come on, why are you saying that~?
No really, I'm glad you're here.
You're going to definitely provide a memorable time for the soldiers today, right?
Of course! It's been 6 years since I've been here!
Ok everyone
Looks like they're prepared up front here, the sign says…
I know! How did you prepare these signs?!
Soldiers are great at this kind of stuff!
You're the best!
Oh, and ...
Everyone, I have rewards for IU to pass out
For soldiers, reward breaks are pretty much what mics are for singers.
You can't do army life without these.
These are that urgent so while IU is singing, say someone gets super excited or displays great affection, you feel they deserve a break outside.
Just 3 people…
So can I take them out today?
Can I take them out with me?
When you go back to Seoul, you should take met too
Actually, IU has a really cool personality, so if you show a lot of affection, IU will give out these rewards.
You can give them all out during 1 song or spread them out across songs.
Seems people in the back may have already given up but I like to search out
I have really good eyesight, 1.5 and 1.5!
So people in the back, don't give up.
I'll leave the reward sheets here so when you're ready to give them out, we have someone here to help deliver them.
Ok we'll have IU's stage.
I'll hurry up and leave
this is IU!
Did you enjoy that?
When I said IU, wow
Everyone, you were all this hard-working type of people?
I'm really disappointed
a different side you didn't show toward me
No, I was really touched
