Seo Taiji Reflects on 2024 and His Daughter's Milestone in Heartfelt Christmas Message

On December 24, iconic singer Seo Taiji shared a heartfelt message on social media, greeting fans with, "Hello 2024, Merry Merry Christmas!" In his lengthy post, he addressed the current political climate in South Korea, referencing the ongoing impeachment crisis that has stirred the nation after seven years. He expressed his disappointment at facing another impeachment as the country approaches 2025, stating, "It's a pity for our times."

Seo Taiji also noted the active participation of the younger generation, particularly those in their twenties, in recent protests, reminiscing about their shared struggles in the past. He encouraged his fans to support these young activists as they lead the future, saying, "Let’s be the unchanging aunts and uncles who support them."

In a personal touch, he celebrated the tenth birthday of his daughter, Jeongdam, whom he shares with actress Lee Eun-sung. He humorously mentioned how she now teases him about Santa and has shifted her childhood dream from being a dinosaur expert to a bird expert. He also shared that she has recently taken an interest in playing the violin, expressing his amazement at her dedication to practice.

Additionally, Seo Taiji discussed his ongoing 'AI 4K Upscaling Project,' which aims to enhance old SD footage, making memories clearer and more vivid. He hinted at the possibility of releasing upscaled footage from his sixth album's pre-recorded broadcast, the first of its kind in South Korea.

Fans reacted enthusiastically to his update, with many expressing their desire for his return to music. However, some questioned the authenticity of the post, given Seo Taiji's historically mysterious persona and the absence of his signature light sticks.

In his message, he reflected on the passage of time, noting how quickly a decade has passed since his daughter's birth and reminiscing about the significant changes in the world since his debut. He encouraged everyone to stay warm during the winter and wished for a safe and joyful Christmas for all.

Seo Taiji concluded with a promise to return and share more, urging fans to stay healthy and look forward to an exciting 2025.
