Lee Seung-cheol shed tears while performing a tribute song for Woo. “My heart was full,” he said
Singer Lee Seung-cheol revealed that he shed tears after listening to a tribute song composed and performed by his junior singer, WOODZ. The song, “Our Story,” which is the first track of the 40th anniversary tribute duet project, contains the special connection and musical respect between the two artists.
“Our Story,” a gift from Wooz to Lee Seung-cheol
Lee Seung-cheol stated that he was deeply moved and shed tears when he first heard a song written and composed by Wooz at a music appreciation event held on September 29 at the Hyundai Card Understage in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Lee Seung-cheol expressed his feelings, saying, “It was incredibly heartwarming that a junior like Wooz dedicated such a song.”
“Our Story” is an alternative rock song created based on Woo’s respect for Lee Seung-cheol’s 40-year musical career. It is presented as a song that reflects on the time Lee Seung-cheol has walked, and also envisions Woo’s own 40th anniversary in the future.
“Father” and “Son”: Seniors and Juniors
The relationship between the two goes beyond a simple musical collaboration. According to Lee Seung-cheol, Woo calls him “father” in private, and Lee Seung-cheol refers to Woo as “son.”
The reason for this collaboration was that Woo’s father was a fan of Lee Seung-cheol’s music. Woo reportedly told Lee Seung-cheol that being with him reminded him of his deceased father, and that he wanted to give Lee Seung-cheol a good song.
First collaboration of the 40th anniversary project
“Our Story” is the first pre-release track from the “Tribute Duet Project” commemorating Lee Seung-cheol’s 40th anniversary. This project features younger singers who will participate and commemorate Lee Seung-cheol’s musical career in their own ways.
Lee Seung-cheol, through this project, not only revisits his past representative songs but also presents contemporary music in collaboration with artists from a new generation. The collaboration with Wooz is also attracting attention as it is a meeting between two vocalists from different generations.
A 40-year musical journey, viewed through tears
Lee Seung-cheol expressed his emotions at the listening session, looking back not only on WOODZ’s tribute song but also on his own musical career. He said the past 40 years came flooding back like scenes from a revolving lantern, and expressed his wish to remain an active singer on stage rather than become merely a “legend.”
“Our Own Story” was released on September 30th at 6:00 PM through various music streaming platforms. This song, a collaboration between Woozi and Lee Seungcheol, combines Woozi’s message of respect with Lee Seungcheol’s vocals, creating a piece that documents their relationship through music.
