Lee Chang-sub, From 'Felon' Misconceptions to New Album

The public often misunderstands the program title, which is an abbreviation of 'Jeongong-gwa Ja' (major and minor), to the extent that a restaurant owner asked if he was truly a felon.

He recounted an anecdote where a restaurant owner asked him if he was really a felon, and he explained that the program name is an abbreviation of 'Jeongong-gwa Ja' (major and minor).

During this process, Park Hyo-shin's 'Good Person' was eliminated in the round of 64, and there were various reactions between the host and guests to the unexpected result of many songs by famous vocalists, dubbed Kim Na-bak-i, being eliminated early on.

He endured a tight comeback schedule, performing more than 4 external events, including a guerrilla performance in Gwanghwamun, in less than a week.

Before and after the album's release, he held a guerrilla performance in Gwanghwamun during office workers' commute hours, and he completed a grueling schedule of more than 4 external events consecutively in less than a week.

This album is the most complete of all works released so far, to the extent that he is satisfied enough to self-assess it highly.

The album title 'Remake' combines the 'Lee' from his real name 'Lee Chang-sub' and 'Make,' and fans seem to fully understand its meaning.

Initially, 'Memento Amoris' was considered, but it was finally concretized with the concept of 'Pieces of Love,' solidifying the album's direction.

He personally presented references to composers and reviewed 1,000 songs, ultimately completing an album consisting of 4 ballads and 1 upbeat song.

As a result, the album was composed of 4 ballads and 1 upbeat Japanese rock-style song. For song selection, he sent leads to composers, provided references, and received about 1,000 songs.

He personally chose five out of about a thousand songs and delivered them to the company. The company, respecting the artist's choice, accepted this decision-making method.

He believed that listeners would also positively view an artist taking full responsibility for the results. He also thought that if he were a company employee, it would have been better because there would be no responsibility to bear.

When selecting songs, he visualizes the atmosphere of the concert hall or himself singing. It's a process of considering scenes to be performed at concerts in advance.

Songs deemed incompatible with his voice are excluded. The final song is decided considering vocal ability.

He went through the process of singing guide songs himself and boldly excluding those that didn't match the tone.

He bravely gave up on songs whose genre was ambiguous between R&B and gospel, or if the vocal range didn't fit, judging that forcing the range lower would kill the song's original color.

This is a 'fragment assembly' method to find the persuasiveness of pronunciation and expression, and a process of finding the best expression for each letter.

Intensive work continued, learning details through repeated listening and finding artistic common ground.

This meticulous approach focused on maximizing the completeness of the song.

He aims to be a conveyer who goes beyond simple technical vocals, allowing listeners to project their own stories, prioritizing harmony with the listener.

He directly demonstrated an example of maximizing emotional delivery by adjusting the intensity of breathing in lyrics like 'Forever I will stay.'

The program 'Jeongwaja,' which re-examined Lee Chang-sub's career, delivers departmental information through long shoots of over 8 hours each episode.

He described it as a grateful content that elevated his career again, involving long filming processes of over 8 hours from school commute to class participation.

Both his on-stage and off-stage personas are his unembellished, real self. He simply adjusts his attitude naturally depending on the environment.

At home, he doesn't watch TV and rests in a static state. He considers walking his dog one of his most important daily routines.

Lee Chang-sub stated that tired office workers tend to watch gaming broadcasts rather than play games themselves after work.

Luxam, on the other hand, held the view that those with strong gaming genes enjoy playing games directly, even when fatigued.

Lee Chang-sub analyzed the gamer tendency, giving an example of an acquaintance who plays League of Legends despite being tired.

Luxam focused on the expressiveness in his voice rather than the high notes. He cited the point where emotions, as if about to cry, were conveyed as an appeal.

It was a fresh attempt, not a complaint, and there was a reaction that it resembled the atmosphere of a specific song.

Lee Chang-sub jokingly said that he 'arranged that part into a different genre.'

He prefers communication-centric live content, stating that live broadcasts enhance his focus more than pre-recorded sessions.
