Baek Ji-young gets risque

SingerBaek Ji-youngwill appear on the JTBC talk show "Witch Hunt" as a guest panelist, local reports said yesterday.

Baek will reportedly appear on both parts of the program that is famous for its frank talks on risque topics.

The first part of "Witch Hunt" involves responding to questions from viewers about love and relationships via the show's four hosts, comedian Shin Dong-yeop, singer Sung Si-kyung, columnist and film critic Heo Ji-ung and Australian comedian Sam Hammington.

The second part brings in regular guests, such as columnist Gwak Jeong-eun, entertainerHong Seok-cheonand modelHan Hye-jin, to provide alternative takes on the day's discussions.

Baek was one of Korea's top pop stars soon after her debut in 1999, but a sex-tape scandal derailed her career for many years. She married Jung Suk-won, an actor nine years her junior, in June last year.
