Sangmin Lee returns as a producer after turning his hair silver…"Expect the birth of a second Rula"
TV personality Sangmin Lee drew attention by announcing his return as a producer after about 20 years along with a dramatic silver hair transformation.
On the 15th, Sangmin Lee posted several selfies on his personal social media with the caption when I come up. In the released photos he presented a new image with bleached silver hair, and fans responded cheerfully with comments such as "the hair color is so pretty," "cute, Sangmin," and "I thought it was Yoon Jong-shin."
A few days later, Sangmin Lee announced his full return to music production through his self-titled YouTube variety show Producer Sangmin Lee. The program is a K-pop real producing project in which Sangmin Lee personally discovers a rookie mixed-gender group and realistically captures the entire process from auditions to debut.
Since debuting in 1994 as Rula, Sangmin Lee has been called a hit maker and a mixed-group specialist who created numerous popular groups such as Diva, Shop, Chakra, and Country Kkokko. However, after a business failure in 2002 he took on 6.9 billion won in debt and had to halt his music activities. He later returned in 2012 on Mnet's Music of God and achieved a resurgence in entertainment, and recently he has completely paid off all liabilities after long efforts and is preparing for a second life.
In particular, the first teaser video for Producer Sangmin Lee released on the 24th contained his heartfelt confession, "I want to pay off all my debts and make music again." Having experienced both past glory and failure, he aims to revive his Midas touch and begin new challenges with rookie artists.
Netizens have sent warm support with comments such as "I support Sangmin returning as a truly free musician now," "It looks like another legend after Rula," and "Glad to see producer Sangmin Lee return, not just the entertainer."
Having overcome the weight of many years to return as a producer, Sangmin Lee is already attracting fans' expectations for what his second Rula will create.<
