SEOTAIJI is widely regarded as the most prominent and influential artist and cultural icon in South Korea, since his rise to prominence as leader of the group ‘SEOTAIJI and Boys’ in 1992. He is called the “President of Culture'' for his incredible influence on the globalization of the Kpop genre and the formation of fandom culture. Throughout his career from group to subsequent solo, SEOTAIJI’s music and artistry, which included elements of hip-hop, rap dance, rock, metal and Korean Traditional music(Gukak) were instrumental in influencing the sound of Korean popular music, and helped lead to the formation of the K-pop genre as it is known today. Current K-pop favorites like BTS (@BTS_twt) recognize SEOTAIJI’s influence on K-pop; BTS has paid homage to SEOTAIJI by covering his song, “Come Back Home (1995),” and also performed at SEOTAIJI’s 25th Anniversary concert (2017), where SEOTAIJI passed them the torch as a globally-renowned K-pop artist.

SEOTAIJI gave a magnificent performance for “LIVE WIRE,” one of his most-loved songs, with the Taegeukgi (the national flag of the Republic of Korea). One of his main performances was of the song “TAKE THREE,” in which he led a group head banging performance by playing the guitar himself. The performance was very well received by fans.

The interaction between SEOTAIJI and the fans at the concert was also one of the reasons why fans did not want to miss out on watching the “Quiet Night” concert video. Listening to the people in the audience chanting “SEOTAIJI,” watching them headbanging, and hearing shouts for an encore made it feel as though you were really there. One of the highlights of the concert was the performance of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” when SEOTAIJI actually went down into the seats to repay the enthusiastic support of his fans.

Even though it was a video, the two hours that fans spent with SEOTAIJI’s “Quiet Night” felt like it was an actual live show. Fans who watched the livestream had an explosive reaction, saying things like “It was amazing!” , “It was so much fun!” ,  “It was so great, I had such a wonderful time...”, and “I’m so happy I had the chance to see him perform like that.”

We hope SEOTAIJI’s music could comfort music fans all over the world who are tired of COVID-19.”
