EXO's Chanyeol to collaborate with veteran singer Lee Sun-hee

By Cara Emmeline Garcia

After the success of “Yours” with Raiden, Lee Hi, and Changmo, EXO member Chanyeol is back again in the recording booth for another much-awaited collaboration.

This time around, the South Korean idol will be working with none other than veteran singer Lee Sun-hee who will be coming out with her 16th studio album.

The news was confirmed by Lee Sun-hee's agency, Hook Entertainment, who said in the statement: “[EXO's] Chanyeol participated in the title track of Lee Sun-hee's 16th studio album Part 1.”

This is a big deal for the South Korean pop idol because this will be Lee Sun-hee's first studio album since "Serendipity" in 2014.

According to reports, the comeback album, along with her collaboration with Chanyeol, will be out on June 15. This will only be the first part of her album with the second part coming out "sometime in the fall. "

Lee Sun-hee is regarded as South Korea's “National Diva.” She made her debut in 1984 with the song “To J,” a song she reportedly retrieved out of the trash after a songwriter threw it away.

Since then, she has released 15 albums and performed at Carnegie Hall in New York, becoming one of only four South Koreans to do so.

Aside from Chanyeol, she has also worked with South Korean rappers Tiger JK and Kanto in previous albums.
