Lee Mu Jin was born in the year 2000 and is a South Korean singer and songwriter, who rose to fame after first appearing in the music audition show Sing Again fairly recently back in 2020, where he finished in 3rd place.


Following his success as a runner-up on the show, Lee Mu Jin released his own single "Traffic Light" in 2021, and as soon as the song was released it spent a well-earned 3 weeks at number one on the South Korean charts. After, in 2022, Lee Mu Jin became the main host of the KBS web-based show "Lee Mujin Service" where he continues to do some work.


"Traffic Light" is a song that can be heard in many bars, cafés and homes in Korea.


Let's check it out!





I have watched this video a number of times, and I really like that the music video shows a realistic side to the singer, from the scenes of him sitting around the campfire singing with his friends, or appearing with his family in a feel-good setting. Vocally I also feel that Lee Mu Jin has an incredible voice, especially when it comes to hitting the high notes, which I can only dream of doing.

Besides having a great singing voice, he is also a genius songwriter. Kim Eana, is a songwriter who has written numerous number-one songs for artists such as IU, Taeyeon, Park Hyo Shin etc,


In 2024 he took center stage at the Seoul Festa around the City Hall area of Seoul, which again gained huge popularity with the crowds. I am very excited to see what the singer has lined up for the rest of 2024 and the near future!
