The November 29 airing of SBS's 'K-Pop Star 5' drew the first preliminaries, and an unexpected contestant stepped on the stage.
The contestant was none other than YG artist and 'K-Pop Star 1' runner-up Lee Hi's older sister Lee Hyu Rim!
Lee Hyu Rim told the judges, "Lee Hi was second place on season 1 and became a star. Truthfully, I was envious. I couldn't help but feel that way," and brought up Lee Hi's past interview during which she admitted that she started music thanks to her older sister's influence. However much Lee Hi had meat that as a compliment, for Lee Hyu Rim, that particular statement was a burden. She said, "I felt the pressure that I have to do really well [on the program]. But if I don't gather the courage now, I think it'll continue to nag at my mind. So in the end, I gained the courage [to try out]," relaying her reason for deciding to appear on the fifth season of 'K-Pop Star' despite the pressure.
