On the 20th, rousing cheers filled Ilsan’s ‘EBS Space Gonggam Hall’, and sorikkun Lee Yuna’s solo concert ‘10-Year Diary’ was held to great success.
At the entrance to the venue, a giant LED display over five meters tall screened broadcast and performance footage from the past decade, and the long lines of attendees together with a variety of merch created a spectacle reminiscent of a large-scale cultural festival that transcended traditional frames.
The 191-seat house, a complete sellout, grew even hotter with placards and the expectant faces of the audience. In particular, befitting a place where ‘Space Gonggam’ is recorded, staging in which sound, lighting, and visuals blended organically delivered an immersion akin to witnessing a highly polished music program in person.
In Part 1, which offered a glimpse into gugak star Lee Yuna’s path, performances beloved from shows such as 2015’s ‘I Can See Your Voice’the ‘Sukdaemeori + Ani’ crazealong with 2020’s ‘Lotto Singer’ and 2021’s ‘Poongnyu Daejang’ unfolded, retracing Lee Yuna’s musical journey.

The collaborative stage with special guest ‘Seodo’ also drew big applause. Prompted by witty questions from the host, comedienne Kim Hee-won, Lee Yuna and Seodo described each other as “true musical brother and sister,” showing a breezy chemistry that made the audience laugh.
Next, Part 2, rich with the energy of the ‘hanbok-wearing rocker’, featured Lee Yuna’s gugak crossover stages such as “Slightly Fluttered” and “Haeya”, which led to first place in a Billboard and TikTok co-hosted event and a TikTok Awards Music Creator win. The stage, where intense band sounds, bold arrangements, and hanbok styling came together, once again firmly etched the nickname ‘hanbok-wearing rocker’ and drew an enthusiastic response from the audience.
In the final Part 3, album tracks by Lee Yuna such as ‘Hwachojang’, ‘It’s My Love’, and ‘K-Food Song’ continued, sending the performance to its peak. Especially, the collective sing-along on the last number, ‘Cheongsa Jibok’“It’s going to be fine, everything will be fine”brought hearts together and left a deep resonance.
For the encore, singing together the fan club’s theme song ‘Apple Corps Song’ and the representative folk song of the Korean people, ‘Arirang’, produced a moving moment in which the boundary between audience and stage disappeared.

As fans shout, “Gugak to the world, Lee Yuna to the world,” attention turns to the next steps of sorikkun Lee Yuna, who freely crosses between tradition and modernity while pioneering her own path.
