Singer Lee Hyori has been confirmed to appear on Mnet‘s new hip hop program, ‘Show Me the Money‘.
The singer is in discussion with the producers of the program to adjust schedules in order to record. A representative stated, “Because ‘Show Me the Money’ is currently recording episodes 2~3 weeks prior to broadcast, we believe the episode featuring Lee Hyori will air on the 5th or 6th episode.”
Director Shin Hyung Kwan of Mnet said, “When Lee Hyori first expressed her desire to appear on the program via Twitter, I was very happy but began to become suspicious, wondering if it was a fan impersonating Lee Hyori. But after I saw the amount of followers (460,000) the Twitter account had, I was positive that it was her so we immediately went into discussion that night.”
He continued, “Although Lee Hyori expressed her desire to appear on the program on Twitter, it must not have been easy for her, so I was surprised to see her gladly accept the cast offer. I’m happy knowing that her appearance on the program will be an opportunity to spread the genre hip hop.”
Last month, Lee Hyori took to Twitter to show her support for the program and left a message that read, “I seem to still like hip-hop. ‘Show me The Money’ is so fun to watch’.” She then left a message to the PD of the program stating, “Feel free to contact me if you need me, by any chance. I would like to perform together with Illtong.”
