Lee Seung-gi, one of Korea's most versatile entertainers, is revisiting his musical roots with a special album to celebrate his 20th anniversary since debuting.

His agency, BPM Entertainment, announced Monday that Lee's new album, titled "With," is set for release on Dec. 4 at 6 p.m.

According to the agency, the album is both a reflection on Lee's 20-year journey in the entertainment industry and a look ahead to his future endeavors. Titled "With," the album highlights Lee's collaborations with fellow musicians who have supported him throughout his career, underscoring its theme of unity and gratitude.

Lee burst onto the scene in 2004 with the hit ballad "Because You're My Woman," which quickly became a cultural phenomenon. He later transitioned into acting, starring in hit dramas such as "Brilliant Legacy" (2009), "My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho" (2010) and "Vagabond" (2019).

Also serving as an entertainer throughout his career, Lee appeared as a member of the first season of the iconic weekend reality show "2 Days & 1 Night" and the host of the talk show "Strong Heart," establishing himself as one of Korean television's most sought-after stars.

After joining BPM Entertainment in April, Lee hinted at his renewed dedication to his career during his 20th-anniversary fan meeting, where he promised to reconnect with the passion he had at the beginning of his journey.

Lee is currently showcasing his versatility on the reality show "King of Survival: Tribal War" on TV Chosun. In addition to his work on television, he will return to the silver screen after six years with the release of the film, "About Family," set to premiere on Dec. 11.
