Seoul [South Korea], June 15: Recently, Sy Luan attracted attention when he took on the role of judge in the "Unexpected Transformation" segment. Backstage, the musician said that each year the contestants bring new ideas and more creative ways of performing, surprising the judges. According to him, this is a process of thorough research on vocals and song interpretation, "helping the audience feel like they are enjoying the idol themselves on stage, not just someone singing in imitation."Despite frequently evaluating impersonations, Sy Luan stated that he has never chosen to build his career by imitating another artist. The male singer affirmed that from the very beginning of his artistic career, what he aimed for was to find his own unique value.
For Sy Luan, the most difficult thing for an artist is finding a "connection" with the public. "There are many talented people, but not everyone can find empathy from the audience. I think I'm lucky to have that," the male singer expressed.
Sy Luan's perspective on his profession.
After many years in the entertainment industry, Sy Luan believes that reinventing oneself is a mandatory requirement for long-term survival in the ever-changing entertainment landscape. According to the singer, each generation of audiences has different trends and tastes, and if artists don't update their style, they can easily be left behind.
However, Sy Luan also admitted that this is not a simple problem. The line between adapting to new trends and losing one's personal identity is very thin. "It's easy to adapt, but it's also very easy to dissolve," the singer frankly shared. According to Sy Luan, artists must dedicate a lot of time and effort to balancing image innovation with retaining the core values that have defined them.
Looking back on his artistic journey, Sy Luan said that the biggest turning point was when he went from an unknown singer to a name widely known to the audience. The moment people recognized Sy Luan, remembered the songs he composed, and showed affection for him was a milestone that completely changed the singer's life.
"That's the biggest turning point in a professional's career. There are people who have been singing for decades but still haven't had the chance to be known by the public," Sy Luan shared.
His love for music is also what has kept the singer committed to the profession for many years. Sy Luan said that his entry into music wasn't by chance, but because he chose this path from a very young age. "I chose music, and luckily, music chose me," the singer said.
For Sy Luan, success doesn't necessarily mean being the most famous star or having the largest fan base; sometimes it's simply about being recognized by the public, living your passion, and feeling that what you're doing is right.
After many years in the profession, Sy Luan still maintains the same love for music as he did in the beginning. This perseverance has helped the singer constantly reinvent himself, continue to contribute, and inspire younger generations of artists through teaching. This "change of direction" brings him joy alongside his singing career.
