Lee Seung Gi has released the music video for “Return” (featuring Lyn), the lead single from his 20th-anniversary album With, which launched on Wednesday. The video presents an emotional, cinematic journey that evokes a touching moment from a melodrama.
In the music video, Lee Seung Gi plays a chef at his eatery, where he comes across a group of patrons, including an ex-girlfriend (played by Lee Seol). As they engage in conversation, Lee Seung Gi reminisces about their happy times together and their subsequent separation. Their exchange feels warm, but the atmosphere changes when he spots her wedding ring during their farewells. The video conveys the bittersweet essence of this moment, and as the last customer exits, Lee Seung Gi remains alone to tidy up the tables. The closing scene focuses on his solitary presence, absorbed in thought, stirring feelings of nostalgia.
“Return,” a long-time favorite among fans, features lyrical themes about the sorrow of saying goodbye to a loved one. For this album, the track has been transformed into a duet, introducing a new layer to the song. The reworked arrangement showcases the stunning blend of Lee Seung Gi’s passionate, strong vocals with Lyn’s tender, soulful voice.
Lee Seung Gi’s heartfelt and contemplative expression in the “Return” music video enriches the song’s emotional impact. His 20th-anniversary album includes fresh arrangements of beloved tracks such as “Return,” “You’re My Girl,” “Delete,” “Words That Are Hard to Say,” and “Unfinished Story.” The album also features collaborations with fellow artists, including Lyn, Cha Eun Woo, ISU, Captain Planet, and Lee Mu Jin.
On a personal note, Lee Seung Gi tied the knot with Kyeon Mi Ri’s daughter, Lee Da In, in 2023. They recently welcomed their first child, a baby girl. Lee Seung Gi will make a highly anticipated return to cinemas after a six-year break with his upcoming film, About Family, scheduled for release on December 11th.
