Editor's note

Lee Gikwang's solo work after Beast and Highlight

The main vocalist and dancer from the K-pop group has built a catalog of moody R&B and pop tracks.

For a quick sense of his solo lane, put on 'Mood' or 'Missing You'. They're quieter, more introspective than a lot of his group's title tracks.

His solo material moves in a different direction from his group's brighter pop sound. Songs like 'Mood' and 'Don't Close Your Eyes (D.C.Y.E)' lean into late-night R&B and atmospheric production. It's a side of his artistry that doesn't always get the spotlight in a group setting.

He debuted as a member of Beast in 2009, which later rebranded as Highlight. His solo singles started appearing in the mid-2010s, with tracks like 'What You Like' and 'Lonely' establishing a more personal, subdued tone.

Archive material and source history

Lee Gikwang was born in Gwangju, South Korea in 1990. In 2009, he joined the K-pop group Highlight, which was originally called Beast. He serves as the lead vocalist in the group, which includes members Yoon Doojoon, Yong Junhyung, Son Dongwoon, and Yang Yoseob. With Highlight, he performed on songs like "Fiction," "Beautiful Night," and "Ribbon."

In 2017, Gikwang released his debut solo single "What You Like." The track blended pop and R&B elements and performed well on music charts. He followed it with other solo work, including songs like "Don't Close Your Eyes (D.C.Y.E)," "Lonely (feat. Jiselle)," and "Missing You." His solo material often explores moodier, more personal territory compared to his group's output.

Gikwang has faced some public challenges during his career, including a dating scandal in 2016 that drew media attention. He continued working through it, maintaining his position in Highlight while developing his own sound. His music since then has included tracks like "Misunderstand," "Mood," and "One," which show his range as a vocalist and performer.
