Leessang’s ‘Unplugged’ is unstoppable on music charts

Hip-hop duo Leessang have been taking over the music charts.

On May 25th, the duo released their 8th album ‘Unplugged‘, and it’s been dominating charts on all music portal sites immediately after its release. Their 7th album also showed the same trend.

The ‘Unplugged’ tracks “Humility is Hard” and “My Love” were pre-released on May 18 and 23 respectively, and have been competing for first place. Once their title track “Someday” was released, the new song beat out both pre-released tracks and took first immediately. Currently, “Humility is Hard”, “My Love”, and “Someday” are competing against each other for the first, second, and third place on music portal websites such as Melon, Bugs Music, and Olleh Music.

“Chart breakers” Leessang have released their 8th album ‘Unplugged’ in celebration of their 10-year anniversary since the team was first formed. Through this album, the duo plan to show the true sound of analog music that is hard to find in music these days.

Leessang expected to once again climb the charts with “My Love”

Leessang is expected to achieve another all-kill.

The hip-hop duo who recently pre-released “Humility is Hard“ will also be pre-releasing “My Love” from their 8th album, ‘Unplugged‘.

“Humility is Hard” climbed to the top of the charts immediately upon being released, and continued to rank high for a full five days. Fans are now curious to know if “My Love” will have the same sort of staying-power.

Different from the upbeat, fresh sound of “Humility is Hard” that left listeners reminiscent of the 60′s and 70′s, “My Love” is an emotional hip-hop track that sings of a man who learns how to love from a woman who gives him everything she can. The romantic, sentimental lyrics flow upon a foundation of a trendy jazz groove, and the sounds of the acoustic guitar and sensual piano melody further adds to the romantic ambience of the track.

After introducing “My Love” to their fans, Leessang will officially release their 8th formal album ‘Unplugged’ on May 25th. This album is a high-quality project that has been in the works for the past three years, and with it, Gil and Gary are ready to once again prove that they are sincere musicians.

In related news, Leessang will also be holding ‘Leessang Theater Season 2‘ at Olympic Park on July 14th and 15th. Tickets go on sale starting May 25th.

 

Leessang’s Gil brings much laughter with his driver’s license photo

Hip hop duo Leessang‘s Gil was bold enough to share his driver’s license photo with the public.

On May 18th, the singer left a profound post on Twitter that read, “There are times you get tired of living too humbly, right? It’s great that there are many people living humbly with good manners, but I believe there are times when you need to be stubborn and live a confident life.”

He later tweeted, “Fighting everyone! Gary and I will work harder to become more humble! Everyone, strength!” making reference to their recently released single, “Humility is Hard“.

Much to fans’ surprise, Gil’s driver’s license picture showed an appearance that was not at all different from today. Gil flashes a big smile for the camera revealing his dazzling white teeth.

Fans left comments such as, “He was even bald during then. I burst into laughter after seeing the photo“, “It rather seems like a recent photo“, “You haven’t changed at all!“, and “When was this picture taken?”

In related news, Leessang is scheduled to release their full length album ‘Unplugged‘ on May 25th.

Leessang’s “Humility is Hard” tops charts upon release

Leessang has gained immediate interest after releasing their new track.

The hip hop duo has made a return to the K-Pop scene for the first time in a year with pre-released track “Humility is Hard” off their 8th formal album ‘Unplugged‘, and the song seized the #1 spot on various music charts such as MelOn soon after being released.

“Humility is Hard” is a re-make of the original song by music giant Cho Young Nam, and the Leessang members have given it a more modern twist. The song is a bit different from Leessang’s traditional sound, and it leaves listeners reminiscent of the ’60s and ’70s. The duo has boldly attempted a new style of music with this track, and the lyrics of the chorus hilariously unravel Leessang’s overflowing confidence.

Leesang’s past 7th album hit “I Turned Off The TV” previously remained #1 on the charts for four consecutive weeks, and fans are curious to know if “Humility is Hard” will have the same kind of staying power.

Gil and Gary will also be releasing their second pre-release track “Learning From You” on May 23rd, followed by their title track “Someday” as well as the full album which is scheduled to drop May 25th. This is a high-quality album that the members have spent 3 years producing, and Leessang even put together their own band ‘Leessang Traveling Theater’ for this project.

In related news, Leessang will be performing ‘Leessang Theater Season 2‘ at Olympic Park July 14th and 15th to kick off their national tour, and tickets will go on sale May 25th.
