Shin Jung Soo PD of MBC TV 'I Am A Singer', revealed that he is looking to bring on hip-hop artists onto the show to broaden the scope of music on his program.
During a press conference on June 15th, Shin Jung Soo PD stated, "I want to deal with the genre of hip-hop on 'I Am A Singer'. But I'm worried about losing fairness to the competition if a rapper was to be brought onto stage, because the standard is not specific for now".
When Lee Sora performed "Fists of Tears", people questioned the fairness of the competition because the song was split into two parts, where Lee Sora sang the vocals and Soul Dive took the rapping.
Shin PD spoke, "there are a number of amazing hip-hop artists such as Leessang, Dynamic Duo, and Tiger JK. My hope is that they could come on stage and share the genre of hip-hop".
He praised Tasha (T), adding that, "Yoon Mirae [also known as T or Tasha] is an artist that has perfected both vocals and rapping. Yoon Mirae is one of the best in all of Asia", and continued "her presence on the show has been requested".
Regarding a question about the standard of selection for the program, Shin PD explained that, "Much consideration goes to the genre of the artist. All 7 musicians cannot be based on rock or jazz, so some musicians are held back due to that issue".
