Previous reports revealed he'll be appearing on the show, and on April 5, FNC Entertainment confirmed, "It's true Hongki is appearing on 'Produce 48' as a vocal trainer." As the aim of the new 'Produce' show is to debut a girl group, fans are already curious how the F.T. Island vocalist will teach the trainees and if he'll be focusing on rock vocal techniques. 

As previously reported, 'Produce 48' is a female trainee survival show bringing together both Korean and Japanese idol trainees in partnership with Japan's AKB48 girl group. Ahn Joon Young PD of 'Produce 101' season 1 & 2 is in charge of productions yet again.
