[NEWS] Why Did SunMi Decide To Leave Wonder Girls?
2010.01.24
As most of you know, SunMi of Wonder Girls decided to postpone her career for now. There have been interviews, rumors, and other statements concerning her career, but she hasn't spoken for herself yet. Until now. It is really short, but here's what I found in Newsen.
The Wonder Girls, who are listed in America's Billboard Hot 100, is losing a member as SunMi decides to quit.
SunMi, effective immediately, will stop her activities as a singer. Originally, she has been scheduled in America until the end of February, but she will stop and go back to Korea to prepare for university from March. Wonder Girl's new member HeRim (from the Chinese Wonder Girl's 'Lim') will join and continue activities in America.
People have asked, "Why is she quitting?". SunMi's company, JYP Entertainment released a statement that, "She wanted to go to university." But fans are saying that SunMi decided this because she was young, lonely, and lacked experience to handle the pressures of America.
In June 2009, SunMi dropped out of university to start activities in America. The Wonder Girls have been all over America. They performed in the Jonas Brothers' concert, and had the glory of being in Billboard Hot 100, but they have also been under deprivation because of the rising popularity of idol groups in Korea.
In October 2009, SunMi said in a press conference that, "After starting activities in America, I cried every single night." Recently, she wrote in her Twitter blog that, "I'm starving". These caused a stir among fans.
SunMi released a statement through her company, "Over the past year, I was privileged to be in 50 of America's cities and to perform in concerts, and this gave me a lot of happiness and precious experience. But I worried to myself if this was the way that I would want to keep on living."
After talks between the members, company, family, etc, SunMi decided to finish her career as a singer, and to return to Korea has a student.
This is a sad event for all Wonder Girls fans. But whatever SunMi decides, let's hope that it is the right decision! Good luck to the new member HeRim and to Wonder Girls!
