SNSD Sunny Spotted with Uncle Lee Soo Man, Sparking Collaboration Rumors

Following her departure from SM Entertainment, there has been much speculation regarding SNSD’s Sunny and her future projects, particularly after her recent outings with her uncle, Lee Soo Man.

A video and photos capturing Sunny’s recent activities went viral among K-pop enthusiasts and SONEs after she was seen enjoying a walk in Shanghai, China, alongside her biological uncle Lee Soo Man.

Also spotted were Yoo Young Jin, an exclusive composer for SM, and two female idol trainees, who joined them for a meal at a local restaurant.

The footage and images that emerged online attracted significant attention, leaving many to speculate about the implications.

It is important to recall that Sunny ended her 16-year tenure with SM last year. Since then, the “Gee”hitmaker has transitioned into an independent artist, still exploring new opportunities.

Although SM Entertainment was founded by her uncle, Lee Soo Man, he was recently ousted from his role as executive producer due to internal disputes with his nephew, Lee Sung Soo, the former CEO.

With both Sunny and her uncle no longer affiliated with SM, rumors are swirling about a potential collaboration in launching A20 Entertainment, a new agency for which Lee has recently applied for trademark protection.

There’s speculation that Sunny might join as an artist, but many fans believe a more fitting role for her would be as a creative director, where she could closely collaborate with trainees from China and Japan.
