[OSENWORLD] Singer-actor Lee Junyoung has returned to his musical roots after five years, dropping his first mini album Last Dance on September 22 and underscoring his reputation as an all-rounder entertainer.
The record captures Lee’s multifaceted identity as a singer, actor, and dancer — also known by his dance name Liberty. It delivers a confident statement of the artistry only he can express.
Leading the project are two title tracks. Bounce is a sharp, rhythm-driven hip-hop cut built on tight beats and freestyle choreography, while Why Are You Doing This to Me (그대 내게 왜 이러나요) highlights Lee’s powerful vocals and emotional delivery in a soaring ballad. Together, the tracks showcase his duality, from high-energy performance to heartfelt storytelling.
The album also features Insomnia (Midnight Movie), Mr. Clean (Feat. Reddy), and instrumental versions of the title songs. Lee participated in writing and composing Mr. Clean, infusing it with his personal experiences and creative voice.
Reflecting on the project, Lee shared that the album came together “surprisingly quickly and smoothly,” adding that it left him thinking, I’ve really lived well. He described Last Dance in one word: “Romance.”
Despite a busy year filled with acting projects, variety shows, endorsements, photo shoots, and an Asia tour, Lee said he felt no burden preparing the record. “My team, the 20 dancers who supported me, Reddy, and everyone at Billions made it possible for me to do everything I wanted,” he noted.
Addressing fans directly, Lee said: “I’m sorry for making you wait so long. I worked on this album with joy, and I hope you take away positive vibes. Please stay healthy and happy.”
With Last Dance, Lee Junyoung proves he is not only a versatile actor but also a musician capable of commanding both the stage and the studio.
