Soloist Lee Jung has announced that he will be joining MBC's 'I Am a Singer 2'!

Lee Jung will begin this month starting with the preliminary competition in group B. Lee Jung is a household name when it comes to male solo artists, having debuted under 7Dayz before being discovered by Kim Chang Hwan and launching a solo career in 2003. Since then, he's created a number of hits like "Do It Tomorrow" and "Sigh", earning love for his exceptional vocal talent.

According to the show's producers, they've been deliberating over shooting casting offers his way for a while now, but felt that introducing him as the second artist for October would be the best way to go about it. Producers are looking forward to what a fresh face will do in creating more diverse stages and the energy it will create.

As his focus has been on variety shows recently, producers hope that this will be an opportunity for viewers to rediscover the talents of Lee Jung.

Lee Jung's first stage will air on October 14th!
