Sunmi is a South Korean singer, dancer, songwriter and record producer under ABYSS Company. She debuted in 2007 as a member of South Korean girl group Wonder Girls and left the group in 2010 to pursue her studies. After a three-year hiatus, Sunmi resumed her career as a soloist with her 2013 debut mini-album, Full Moon, spawning the number two singles "24 Sigani Mojara" and "Boreumdal" on the national Gaon Digital Chart.
In 2015, Sunmi was announced to be resuming promotion with the Wonder Girls and remained with the group until their disbandment in 2017. She subsequently left JYP Entertainment and joined Makeus Entertainment (now known as ABYSS Company), releasing the hit single "Gashina", produced by Teddy Park of The Black Label. The song debuted at #2 on the Gaon Digital Chart before topping the chart the following week, and was named the third best K-Pop song of 2017 by Billboard.
Sunmi returned with a single titled "Juingong" on January 18, 2018. She described the single as a prequel to "Gashina". On September 4th, Sunmi released her second mini-album, titled WARNING, along with the lead single, "Siren". "Siren" received an all-kill on six local music charts. WARNING was named the third best K-Pop album of 2018 by Billboard and Bravo. "ADDICT" was named the eighth best K-Pop b-side of the year by MTV.
Her seventh digital single, "Yeoliollayo (Heart Burn)", is released this week on June 29th.
