Background and album information

Production costs for Type Control were funded through web donations, which were held on the crowdfunding site UCANFUNDING from July 31 to September 30, 2013. The amount required for the funding was set to ₩2 million ($2,000), but thanks to fans' support, the collection raised over ₩12 million ($12,000) at the end of the funding.

According to Lee's official Twitter, the album includes a total of nine tracks, with one outtake featured ("In the Booth").

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Type Control” as album by Lee Yong-shin. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA productive route into publication, performance and collection histories when the underlying object or edition remains clearly identified. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2013—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2013. The account is most persuasive where Type, Control and album can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as album by Lee Yong-shin. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15176677. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2013.

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
