[Sportschosun, Jung Bit] Singer-songwriter Lee Seung-yoon is teaming up with world-renowned animation director Jeong Da-hee for a special collaboration.
On the 23rd, Lee Seung-yoon released the music video teaser for "What Are You Stealing," one of the double title tracks from his fourth full-length album, "0th Album," through his official YouTube channel.
The teaser features a "letter character" that carefully bundles together letters written through the night and steps out into the world. The character hides letters in cracks in broken walls and all around the city, and the video ends with someone discovering one of them.
Even with its short runtime, the teaser creates a warm yet mysterious atmosphere and raises anticipation for the full video.
In particular, the music video has drawn attention because it was produced by world-renowned animation director Jeong Da-hee. Known at home and abroad for her distinctive visual style and delicate direction, she is expected to complete a work that feels like a short animated film, infused with her signature warmth and lyrical storytelling.
"What Are You Stealing" begins with a question. The song captures the process of shaping the self by learning from and accepting what belongs to others. After reflecting on values and ways of life once taken for granted, it arrives at the realization that "the world is less rusted than I thought, and it does not hate me." In the end, the song stands out for Lee Seung-yoon's hopeful message of choosing to live again.
The fourth full-length album, "0th Album," was completed by reworking and rerecording songs Lee Seung-yoon had created on his own about 10 years ago. It includes 29 tracks across a range of genres, including rock, modern rock, folk and ballads, and reflects emotions such as wind, emptiness, anguish and hope through Lee's unique perspective.
Lee Seung-yoon's fourth full-length album, "0th Album," will be released on various music streaming platforms at 6 p.m. on the 26th.
