We were right. YGE’s new female sub-unit turned out to be none other than 2NE1′s Park Bom and YG’s youngest solo artist, Lee Hi. Today, saw the release of their reason for uniting, their fantastic cover of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You”. The song, has proven to be a worldwide classic and a Christmas classic of our time, and the two prove these facts even more by singing the song completely in English. They put a nice rock/soul spin on the song as they let their sweet vocals collide. Of course, singing Mariah Carey is nothing new for Park Bom. The 27-year-old is a big fan of the singer, and even sung some of her songs when auditioning for YG Entertainment. Of course the fun doesn’t stop with the single release. The girls will also be unleashing a music video for their duet around December 20th, and we will see if the pairing of BH will continue past the holidays. Fingers crossed.
YG Entertainment may be no stranger to delays, but they sure know how to keep the surprises coming. As we all wait for that new girl group that will explain the many appearances of trainee Jenny Kim, today, the label teased a new sub-unit, a female duo who will be known as “BH”. In the teaser image, it shows two females, with one holding the hand of the other. As YG Entertainment has a small roster of artists, it’s not hard matching the letters to the initials of two powerhouse vocalists. Our guess, and fans’ guests as well is that the unit consists of none other than 2NE1′s Park Bom and ‘K-Pop Star’ runner-up and “1,2,3,4″ singer Lee Hi. The ladies will debut with “All I Want For Christmas Is You” which could very well be a Mariah Carey cover and something both ladies could easily deliver. It’s unclear if the sub-unit’s activities are just for the holiday season or will continue thereafter. We guessed Bom and Lee Hi, but just in case we’re wrong.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRQL62nj89Q2NE1’s main vocalists BOM and LEEHI, the two main vocalists of YG Entertainment finally got together to form a unit under the title “BOM&HI”. In December of 2013, the wintery season with particularly heavy snow, the two unveil themselves with ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You,’ through a harmony of such unique voices that no one else possesses. The re-interpreted Christmas carol originally sang by Mariah Carey conveys a warm but lonely feel, and has a magical charm that reminds you of that longing for the past love, or for the present love by your side. December is somehow filled with excitement of Christmas, but this song is for those who want to taste and enjoy the beauty of being alone. Why don’t we melt the icy winter with mesmerizing voices of ‘BOM&HI’, the priceless tones that are both tender and bittersweet?
