On the 20th, Lee Chanhyuk performed the title track of his 1st full album, 'Panorama' on MCountdown. He performed after releasing his solo album, ERROR, on the 17th and made a scene-stealing guest appearance on KBS1 National Singing Contest and EBS1 Ding Dong Dang Kindergarten.
However, his dating rumors started to spread right after he finished his first performance. He has been rumored to be dating Lee Saerom from Fromis9 in online communities since the 19th. Lee Chanhyuk's agency, YG Ent. speaks up regarding the dating rumor, 'It is difficult for us to confirm because it's our artist's privacy'. However, fans believe that YG Ent is indirectly confirming that the two of them are dating because YG Ent would strongly deny the rumors if it wasn't true.
Was this the reason behind it? Lee Chanhyuk, who became the main character after his first dating rumors spread, appeared on the 20th and public attention was drawn to his mouth. He was wearing a white mask with ERROR written on it. He remained silent during the whole interview which took time before his performance.
Nobody knows whether Lee Chanhyuk and MC Nam Yoon-soo and Miyeon had already agreed to do this before hand. Lee Chanhyuk remained silent when he was asked about how he feels about his solo debut and the difference between promoting as AKMU and a solo singer. The two MCs said, "I heard a telepathy saying that he will do his best as a solo singer, just like how he does as an AKMU's personnel" and "I think we have to check out his performance"
Lee Chanhyuk proceeded to perform, standing in the center of the stage while turning his back on the audience and camera. He only showed us the back of his head until the performance ended. Some people think it was a quite rude action. Netizens say, "He's getting weirder as time passes by. Does he think that looks cool? Is this some kind of art performance? Don't cross the line", "A bad example of what happens when someone falls into his beliefs and worldviews too deep", "Maybe he'll be embarrassed about this a few years later", "Chanhyuk-ah, stop doing as you please now"
-I personally think it's good for him to try out different concepts as long as he's not harming anyone else.
-Those interviews are based on scripts and they do rehearsals before going live. I think the ones writing this kind of article are the rude ones.
-It's not like he's a criminal. What is all this fuss about?
-Maybe that was what was written in the script?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'm pretty sure they already agreed to do that beforehand...
-Akdong Musician is not a group that will be impacted by a dating rumor anyway...
-Am I the only one who feels like the reporters are purposely writing articles in this manner just because he refused to comment about the dating rumors?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-All I wanna do is to live my life like Lee Chanhyuk...
-I'm sure the MCs already agreed to do that beforehand. I think it's just the concept of his solo debut.
-I don't think this is a big problem. He can do whatever he wants. I will always be rooting for him as long as he doesn't do drugs or drive under the influence~
-I mean... Isn't this just a concept...?? I enjoyed his performance, though?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Anyway... That's a really unique concept
-Isn't this just his concept? I mean... The title of his album is ERROR...
-Seems like haters are being hired as reporters these days...
