Singer Seo Taiji (real name Jung Hyeon-cheol, 50) reported on his current situation after a year.



On the 24th, Seo Taiji left a long message on the official SNS, starting with "My dear friends and 2022 Christmas."

Seo Taiji leaves a greeting message for fans on social media every Christmas Eve every year.



Seo Taiji said, "Hello my followers. How have you been? A year has already passed and Christmas is back. Everyone is not sick and is doing well? 2023 is just a week away. The things everyone hoped for this year I wonder how much I've achieved", asking the fans about their regards.



"I think there were many unfortunate things such as incidents, accidents, and wars in our country and our planet in 2022," he said. "It was the best thing to start with. But recently, I caught the corona and completely lost my sense of smell, as if I had been careless. I was secretly worried that it would be the Long Covid, but fortunately I recovered slowly. I hope our followers will not be vigilant yet." told



In particular, Seo Taiji mentioned the 30th anniversary of his debut, saying, "This year was the 30th anniversary of his debut. But it passed so quietly that he must have been very sad."

He said, "Not long ago, our followers gifted me a beautiful microphone. It's a pity that I couldn't use this special microphone that we prepared carefully together this year, but for the next performance, definitely!

I'll make use of it.

Thank you so much for putting your hearts together like this."



Seo Taiji was also lucky about the new release plan, saying, “Perhaps the news you are most curious about right now is the news of my new album.”



He said, "Because I know very well that many of my followers are tired because I haven't been able to deliver good news for several years. I've been thinking a lot throughout the year about how to speak today. Unexpected things happened."



"Right now, I think I'm standing at a turning point where I need to accept changes and have a new mindset. And I believe that I can go to the next level and do well only if I do it well. At the present time, that can't be done in one or two years. I'm worried because I think it might be," he reassured the fans, "It's difficult to explain right now because it's a bit complicated situation, but there's nothing particularly bad, so you don't have to worry."



He said, "I'm just doing my best to find an answer, so someday I'll be able to tell you comfortably." I would be grateful if you could wait comfortably with a little long breath."



Lastly, Seo Taiji said, "It would be nice if it would be a Christmas day where we say happy greetings every year like in the past, but recently it hasn't been like that. Today, I want to say goodbye quietly, putting behind my sorry and regretful feelings." I hope that 2023 will be a happy year in which only very, very good things happen to our followers."



Seo Taiji formed 'Seo Taiji and Boys' in 1992 and produced hit songs such as 'I Know' and 'Comeback Home', and was called the 'President of Culture' for his musical activities that changed the trend of the music industry.

After shockingly disbanding the group, he transformed into a solo singer and continued his activities.

In 2013, he married actor Lee Eun-seong in surprise, and the following year he had a daughter.
