Sunny Facts

After her birth, Sunny’s family moved to Kuwait for a short period but then got settled in South Korea at the time of the Gulf War.

She joined SM Entertainment in 1998 and trained with them for almost 5 years before her debut.

She later changed her agency to Starworld agency where her father worked as the manager and was set to make her debut with a group called Sugar. However, things didn’t work out.

In early 2007, she rejoined SM Entertainment and continued her training.

In August 2007, she made her official debut with the girl group Girls’ Generation.

She has also worked as a solo artist and has sung songs for many television shows and movies such as ‘You Don’t Know About Love’ for the SBS’s drama show Working Mom and ‘Finally Now’ for the interactive movie Story of Wine.

As she experienced the Gulf War as a child, she has a fear of loud noises, especially, fireworks.

Sunny dislikes red bean paste and soy milk.

She is the shortest member of the group and Sunny and Taeyeon together are referred to as ‘the short duo’ by the rest of the band members of Girls’ Generation.

In August 2023, it was revealed that Sunny had parted ways with SM Entertainment after the expiration of her contract.
