Published on | Source
The fourth album by singer and actor Lee Seung-gi to be released Sept. 17 is enjoying high popularity with an advance order for the album, entitled "Shadow", reaching nearly 40,000 copies.
"Shadow" swept major Internet shopping malls such as Interpark and Aladdin by ranking first in advance sales Friday.
According to Loen Entertainment, an album distribution company, Lee's popularity has increased sharply due to his appearance in various TV programs including "Brilliant Legacy" ("Shining Inheritance"), the popular weekend SBS drama that closed in July. "With advance sales for Lee's new album rising, more record outlets have been showing keen interest in the album", a Loen official was quoted as saying by Yonhap News Agency.
The album's title song is "Now We Part", a ballad written by Kim Do-hoon. "Shadow" also contains songs written by PSY and other famous composers.
"Lee's fourth album will be in the vanguard of a comeback trend by ballad singers this fall. It will also contribute to bringing in diverse forms of music in the local album market", the official said.
