Singer Lee Bo-ram, formerly of SeeYa, has joined FC Balladream on SBS’s entertainment program “Shooting Stars.” It marks her first challenge in a sports entertainment program since her debut, and she will take part in the show’s first-ever Handball Cup. Viewers who have followed Lee Bo-ram’s music career will be able to see her take on a new field.
Key Changes
Lee Bo-ram’s move is more than simply adding an entertainment appearance to her singing career: she is taking part directly in a program centered on a sports discipline. Lee Bo-ram released the solo single “On the Other Side of the Light” in August 2026 and continues activities for SeeYa’s 20th-anniversary national tour. While maintaining her music career, she is expanding her activities by joining FC Balladream as a new member.
This appearance is tied to the Handball Cup, a competition distinct from the program’s established football-focused image. SBS’s official episode page states that the first Handball Cup in “Shooting Stars” history began in episode 230, which aired on September 2, 2026. The news therefore coincides not only with Lee Bo-ram’s new appearance but also with the program’s expansion into a new sporting discipline.
The confirmed points are Lee Bo-ram’s addition to FC Balladream and her participation in the Handball Cup.
Current Status
The information currently confirmed is that Lee Bo-ram will join FC Balladream, compete in the Handball Cup, and appear in the team’s first game, scheduled to be revealed during the September 9 broadcast. SBS’s official clips page lists the September 9 preview as a match between FC Actionista and FC Balladream to decide advancement to the semifinals.
However, the actual course of the game cannot be determined from a preview or advance announcement alone. Lee Bo-ram’s position, playing time, scoring record, and specific role within the team have not been confirmed before the broadcast. The match result also cannot be stated until the official broadcast or subsequent official content is released.
The currently verifiable details are as follows:
- Team joined: “Shooting Stars” FC Balladream
- Competition: The first Handball Cup in the program’s history
- First game broadcast date: SBS broadcast scheduled for September 9, 2026
- Announced matchup: FC Actionista vs. FC Balladream in a semifinal-qualification decider
Impact
The clearest significance of Lee Bo-ram’s addition for viewers is the opportunity to watch a singer known for her music take on sports entertainment for the first time. Multiple reports citing her agency’s announcement reported both her addition to the team and her participation in the Handball Cup, and the first-game broadcast schedule was reported consistently.
From the program’s perspective, the Handball Cup is also presented as its second sports project. According to reports, the project is being conducted with support from the Korea Handball Federation and SK hynix. However, it is too early to judge whether Lee Bo-ram’s addition will affect the team’s results, game performance, or the program’s popularity, since no game content has been publicly released yet.
When following this issue, it is important to distinguish between the confirmed addition of a new member and the game that will be shown on the broadcast. At present, her appearance and the schedule are confirmed; what scenes will occur during the game can only be verified after the episode airs.
Next Confirmation Point
The most important date to watch is September 9, 2026. On that day, SBS’s “Shooting Stars” is scheduled to show the first game of FC Balladream with Lee Bo-ram as a member. The official broadcast and subsequent official clips may confirm information that was unavailable before the broadcast, including the actual game result and whether Lee Bo-ram played and what role she had.
Readers waiting for the broadcast should use three points as their current reference: Lee Bo-ram’s team, her participation in the Handball Cup, and the scheduled September 9 broadcast. Until then, it is safest not to interpret scenes shown in the preview as the result of the full game or as evidence of an individual player’s performance.
