Sunmi: "'Siren' was written when I was in Wonder Girls, but I'm only releasing it now because of Park Jinyoung's objections"


Former Wonder Girls member Sunmi has revealed that she wrote 'Siren' when she was in Wonder Girls, sparking a buzz.


Sunmi appeared on KBS 2TV's 'Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook' on the 15th and revealed the story behind the birth of her title song 'Siren'.


Sunmi expressed her thoughts on the news that 'Siren' had reached number one on the music charts, saying, "I'm happy and grateful."


She also drew attention by saying, "'Siren' is a song I wrote and composed myself, so it has even more meaning."


Sunmi revealed, "I wrote and composed this song when I was in Wonder Girls as a band.


However, Park Jinyoung said it didn't fit the band arrangement, so we didn't include it."


Sunmi, who debuted 11 years ago and is now working as a solo artist after leaving Wonder Girls, is solidifying her own position as a solo female singer with three consecutive hits, "Gashina," "Heroine," and "Siren."

 (From K-POP News) 

Idol singers have a short lifespan. 

Whether solo or in a girl group, past examples show that they generally end their activities within the first contract period (usually seven years). 

Solo artists are not in the same boat as girl groups, so there is no expiration date for them as idols. 

This is because their style is to continue to adapt and grow based on the popularity they have built up in the two or three years since debut. 

When the fans leave and the name recognition remains, the key to taking the next step is whether they can sing well-known standard numbers attractively. 

After that, all they have to do is climb the ladder one step at a time as an entertainment singer. 

However, it is difficult to succeed as a solo idol if you only show off your visuals without singing ability. 

If both are not outstanding, there is a high possibility that people will get bored of you. 

K-POP became successful because it focused on the music of dance groups. This music produced many positive effects.

 Mixing singing with dancing made up for the lack of vocal ability. 

Competition within the group allowed each member to demonstrate their individuality. 

The synergistic effect of listening to music and watching music increased the number of fans.

 As fans continued to support the group, they also began to have their own favorite members, stimulating competition within the group. 

Because it is dance music, the language barrier was lowered. 

As can be seen from the global hit "Gangnam Style," the atmosphere of the music can be grasped just from the dance.

 Although K-POP is centered on dance, it is no longer just pop light music.

 BTS, which is gaining success in the United States, is beginning to show an evolution of K-POP.

 ARMYs, who are fans, are beginning to decipher the lyrics from BTS' performances and begin to understand the messages contained therein. 

he main vocalists of popular groups are beginning to establish a status that is greater than that of established solo singers. 

Taeyeon of Girls' Generation and Eunji of Apink have even managed to hold solo concerts in Seoul.


Established solo singers can only hold commemorative concerts once every few years, but in girl groups, not only Girls' Generation and Apink, but also many members of other groups, such as GFRIEND, have gone solo and produced hits.


The positive effects of K-pop dance music are too numerous to mention, but there are many more.


Sunmi, who is enjoying another hit with her new song "Siren," as many know, debuted as a member of Wonder Girls.


Like Jiyeon, who was a member of KARA (formerly), she was a high school student singer.


Wonder Girls debuted in Korea and quickly rose to the top, and their momentum was so great that they overstepped Japan and made their way into America.


However, at first it was a thorny road, walking on a path that had no path before.


With their American Dream torn to shreds, Wonder Girls returned to Korea. There were no positions left for them there, so they had to start again from scratch.


Sunmi once dropped out of high school as a member of Wonder Girls, preparing to go to America, but after thinking it over, she gave up on the idea and chose to go to college instead.


This decision seems to have brought Sunmi good fortune.


During her hiatus from Wonder Girls, Sunmi made her solo debut with the digital single "24 Hours" and released the album "Full Moon."


These were probably encouraging experiences for Sunmi.


In 2015, Wonder Girls resumed activities as a band, and Sunmi returned as a member.


Their first activities only served to raise the name of Wonder Girls, but in 2016 they made a comeback with the single album "Why So Lonely," all of which was written by the members themselves. This was a hit, and Sunmi, with her guitar in hand, made an impact on fans.


After that, Wonder Girls disbanded, and Sunmi left JYP and moved to another agency.


When she made her solo comeback after some time with the dance-based "Gashina," her old fans would have been nostalgic for her performance.


But that wasn't the only appeal of this song.


It attracted the interest of many fans and became a huge hit.


Their latest song, "Siren," is also off to a good start with an appealing performance.


Sunmi's success shows that Wonder Girls is not just a group of girls who have suffered a painful setback, but a group of talented members.
