Sandara Park to join ‘Sugar Man’ show

K-pop singer Sandara Park has added a new item to her CV. Park, who is a member of the girl group 2NE1, will join the reality TV show “To You Project ? Searching for Sugar Man.”

YG Entertainment, the singer’s agency, said on Monday that Park will join comedian Yoo Jae-suk and singer-songwriter Yoo Hee-yeol, who are hosts of the JTBC program.

“I’m so thrilled that I can work with the best TV show hosts and producers,” Park said in a press release. “I hope I can collaborate with them and take to the stage on the show someday.”

The show traces singers of the 1970s and ’80s who disappeared from the music scene and remakes their hit songs with modern touches.

Park debuted in the Korean music scene in 2009 as part of 2NE1, but she had already made a name for herself in the Philippines in 2004 and moved to Korea in hopes of becoming a singer here.

She also recently appeared in the web drama series “We Broke Up.”
