Sunye Opens Up About the Impact of Losing Her Mother on Her Life

Sunye, who was previously a member of the Wonder Girls, recently appeared on KBS’s “Park Won Sook’s Let’s Live Together”and opened up about her personal life outside of the public eye.

When Sunye reflected on her journey from a young trainee to becoming a mother of three girls, she shared, “Many people may remember me from my time in Wonder Girls, but it’s important to note that I have been married for over ten years and have three beautiful daughters.”

Dreams and Determination

As a high school senior in 2007, Sunye made her debut with Wonder Girls. She shared her initial aspirations and the obstacles she encountered.

Sunye’s dreams of becoming a singer were achieved through her unwavering determination, despite starting from humble beginnings.

“I was a trainee for about six years. I started training in sixth grade. Strangely, I wanted to be a singer at a young age. And you know that saying about being courageous if you don’t know anything?I was raised by my grandmother in Sokcho and didn’t have much money or connections. My parents weren’t around, and I grew up with my grandparents, and I don’t know why I thought to become a singer, but my dreams came true at a young age.”-Sunye

Sunye fearlessly revealed her personal connection to the role in the musical “My Mom,”delving into her participation and emotional investment in the production.

I didn’t use the word ‘mom’ a lot growing up. I always called my grandmother, but through this musical I was able to say the word a lot. I think I said a lifetime’s worth of the word ‘mom’ while practicing for the show. -Sunye

Despite having never had a deep understanding of her mother, Sunye experienced a significant moment of realization when she received a photo of her for the first time.

“Upon seeing her, I noticed that she didn’t match the image I had created in my mind. It dawned on me that she was actually my mother, a realization that had not occurred to me in the past 34 years,”she recalled.

Embracing Motherhood and Music

Despite facing life’s challenges, Sunye remains resilient and has developed a greater appreciation for her family. She continues to find joy in both her role as a mother and her passion for music.

Honestly, I don’t really remember. I remember seeing her sometimes until I was about five years old, but around that time she passed away due to a car accident. My father passed after I succeeded as the Wonder Girls and was promoting in the states. So, honestly, I don’t know my mother’s face. My grandmother passed after I got married and was pregnant with my second daughter. -Sunye
