Seungri, who came back as a solo singer, still has the talent. His easygoing stage manners heated the atmosphere. The three-year vacancy and the pressure of being alone turned out to be nothing. There was a reason. He thoroughly checked this costumes and paid attention to every detail of his performance during the rehearsal.

This is Seungri’s waiting room in CJ E&M Center in Sangam-dong, Seoul. Seungri prepared for his first TV appearance at the same place with rapper San E and rookie Bumkey. His name 'Seungri' written on the door finally made me believe that he was coming back. We opened the door and entered the waiting room. Follow me~

The first thing that caught my eyes was this flower basket. The words, 'Congrats on Seungri’s comeback. We are ready to dance,’ are clearly written. His fan club gave him a present to congratulate his first TV appearance. Seungri placed the flowers in the middle of a table and appreciated them, charging his energy to the fullest.

Well, the start of his preparation for his performance in full swing now.

Seungri Secret 1. "I" check everything: He cannot let down his guard for the chance to meet his fans. No wonder he wanted to look gorgeous. Seungri checked his hairstyle, makeup, and costumes himself. He paid attention even to the direction of a strand of his hair. He finally checked himself in the mirror thoroughly.
