Korean singer Lee Hi from YG Entertainment will be in the April 12 episode of "Sugar Man" with Park Bo Ram.

Singers Park Bo Ram and Lee Hi have reportedly done shooting for "Sugar Man" while Jung Yong Hwa, the leader of CNBLUE served as the producer of Park Bo Ram's team. Guest artists and groups come together on the show with Yoo Hee Yeol and Yoo Jae Suk usually as team leaders, who would ask the participants to perform a previous hit song as per the re-arrangement of the recruited producer. The audience choose the winners.

Viewers are eager to see Park Bo Ram and Lee Hi as their vocal face off sounds interesting. Solo singer Lee from YG Entertainment made a comeback in March with her half album "Seolite" from "Breathe," which SHINee's Jonghyun penned. "Sugar Man" host Sandara Park of 2NE1, and also from YG, admitted she tried her best to cast label mate Lee Hi on the show.

Lee's new songs include melodious ballads that convey a comforting message to those who are exhausted with the daily challenges of life. In March, the 20-year-old singer topped the iTunes charts with her new song in eight regions in Asia - Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia. On the U.S. iTunes chart, her song ranked 53rd, according to The Korea Times.

Meanwhile, the former contestant of "SuperStar K2" in 2010, Park Bo Ram debuted with "Beautiful" on August 2014. During their guesting on the variety show, she will have Jung Yong Hwa's ample experience both as a producer and singer. Jung often took part in composing the tracks of his solo album and has written songs for CNBLUE since 2010. He also wrote the boy band's sixth mini album released on April 4.

The show's episode with Park Bo Ram and Lee Hi will air on April 12, said Soompi. With the three singing artists to appear on the show, many are anticipating the face off of the two solo singers who are both great vocalists with different singing styles. Yonghwa's participation in the show as a producer makes the episode more interesting, noted AllKPop.
