Singer Lee Chan-won's live clip of his 'Gugak Medley' performed at a concert stage continues to receive steady responses more than a month after its release.

This video, capturing a scene from '2026 Lee Chan-won Concert Changa: A Brilliant Day,' has fans evaluating it as a stage where they can see a different side of Lee Chan-won's musical roots compared to his trot performances. Comments have been pouring in nonstop beneath the video, from immediately after its release up until recently.

■ A Stage Fans Return to Repeatedly... Even Watched During the Chuseok Holiday

The fact that impressions have been posted regardless of time period, from comments left a month ago to ones written just 12 days ago, shows that this stage has established itself as content fans revisit repeatedly, rather than a one-off topic of interest. A comment noting that the video was played during the Chuseok holiday morning also caught the eye. Some fans are returning to the video as the holiday atmosphere blends with the distinctive excitement of traditional Korean music.

■ "A Gugak Talent Stolen by Trot"... Over 300 Likes

One of the most-liked reactions was a comment pointing out Lee Chan-won's gugak talent. One fan described him as 'a gugak talent stolen by trot,' a comment that received more than 300 likes. This is interpreted as many fans agreeing that, beyond admiration for his singing skills, the texture of Lee Chan-won's voice aligns well with traditional Korean music. Another fan wrote that Lee Chan-won's voice conveys both life's joys and sorrows along with exuberant energy, and voiced support for his path as a leading figure in K-trot.

■ A Performance Made Together with Fan Club 'Chance'

The fact that it was a performance made together with his fan club 'Chance' is cited as a reason this stage is remembered as special. Among the comments, several reactions recalled the moment when Chance joined the stage with cheers during the concert. The memory of the venue, where the audience's shouts and the sound on stage merged into one, was revived through the video. A comment saying that even while watching the video at home, it felt like they should wave a light stick along received nearly 150 likes, in the same vein.

Voices longing for the emotion of the live event were also strong. Reactions such as "I want to go back to that moment" and "It was a concert I want to attend again" each received nearly 300 likes, and requests to hold another concert soon followed. Fans who could not attend the performance in person expressed regret, saying they definitely want to go to a concert. There were also quite a few reactions that revealed emotions directly, such as comments saying they cried, or that those who could merely watch were happy people. Fans' continued affection even after the performance ended, as seen here, demonstrates Lee Chan-won's consistent presence.

■ 16th Place in October Netizen Awards... Will It Lead to Voting Momentum?

Amid this, as of the afternoon of the 20th, Lee Chan-won ranks 16th in the Male Singer category of the October Netizen Awards. In the Globe Netizen Awards Male Singer category, where global fans participate, no votes have been cast yet.

The flow between fans' heated reactions left on the concert video and the awards rankings is also worth noting. Attention is focused on whether Lee Chan-won's musical capabilities confirmed on stage and the affection of his fan club Chance will translate into voting momentum going forward. In particular, when the first vote of support will appear in the Globe Netizen Awards, where voting has not yet begun, is also something to watch.

■ "Want to See It on Immortal Songs Too"... "When Is the Movie Coming?"

Fans' interest is also turning toward his next stage. Some fans expressed a wish to see this gugak medley on broadcast stages such as KBS 'Immortal Songs.' It is a request born of the desire to share a stage that only fans at the concert venue got to enjoy with a wider audience.

In addition, a comment asking "When is the movie coming?" received over 300 likes, revealing expectations of re-experiencing the concert on the big screen. However, it is not possible to confirm from the video and comments alone whether related plans have been finalized.

As Lee Chan-won, who made his name as a trot singer, displays a distinct presence on the gugak stage as well, interest in his musical spectrum is growing even further. As stages crossing genre boundaries leave new memories for fans, attention is also on what kind of movement his fans' long-standing affection will show in the remaining rankings race for the October Netizen Awards.
