Gil, the enigmatic singer and former member of the iconic hip-hop duo Leessang, is making headlines once again as he hints at a thrilling comeback after a prolonged hiatus due to multiple DUI incidents.

On November 25th, KST, Gil took to social media, sharing a heartfelt post that read, “Finally complete. I’ve been preparing for years. I’m nervous.” Accompanying this announcement was a teaser for his new project titled “Shining Gil Seong Jun,” which shows him meditating in a seafood market while donning an octopus on his head—an intriguing visual that has captured fans’ attention. The caption also revealed “Myung Ssang Project” along with a date and time: “2024.11.29 12:00pm.” Fans are left buzzing with anticipation about what is in store for them on that date.

The fervor surrounding Gil's return intensified after he reposted excited reactions from fans, particularly a comment from the unofficial Leessang fan club, “Gwangdae,” which read, “Like an oasis…” This tantalizing phrase has reignited hopes among fans for a potential Leessang reunion, a topic that has been a source of speculation for quite some time.

For those unfamiliar, Gil's journey has been tumultuous. Following his second DUI in 2014, he made the difficult decision to step back from the entertainment scene, leaving his role on MBC's beloved program “Infinite Challenge.” He made a notable return in 2016 through Mnet’s “Show Me the Money 5,” but the third DUI incident forced him back into a phase of introspection.

In 2022, whispers of a reunion began to circulate when Gil mentioned Leessang's 20th anniversary, expressing a desire to commemorate the milestone. However, fellow member Gary quickly dismissed these rumors by stating, “Not true. The group has disbanded.”

Leessang, formed in 2002, has left an indelible mark on the K-hip hop scene, producing anthems like “Gwangdae,” “Tears,” “The Girl Who Can’t Break Up, the Boy Who Can’t Leave,” “I’m Not Laughing,” and “Turned Off the TV.” As fans eagerly await Gil's forthcoming project, the lingering question remains: will we finally witness the moment Leessang fans have been dreaming of—a reunion that could redefine their legacy? Stay tuned, as the countdown to November 29 begins!
