Sunye, who appeared on ‘Radio Star’, expressed her positive stance on the possibility of the legendary girl group Wonder Girls reuniting. She will also reveal the behind-the-scenes of the ‘Bang Girl’ stage that became a hot topic with Big Bang at a past year-end awards ceremony.

The MBC ‘Radio Star’ (planned by Kang Young-sun/directed by Kim Myung-yeop and Hwang Yoon-sang), which will air on the afternoon of the 12th, will feature a special on ‘Unlimited Challenge’ starring Park Kyung-lim, Sunye, Ha Won-mi, and Jung Dong-won.

Sunye, the leader of Wonder Girls, will appear on ‘Radio Star’ to give an update on her recent activities. She recently played the role of ‘Baek-hee’ in the musical ‘Dream High’, in which Park Kyung-lim participated as the creative director, signaling her active promotions. She says that the style of her former agency JYP, which emphasizes ‘half air and half sound’ as a musical actor, was a great help to her. ‘Sing as you speak’ is what helped her with her musical acting and singing.

Sunye then performed a verse from Park Jinyoung‘s ‘A Breakup in Broad Daylight’, in which she was featured, and drew attention by directly showing the difference between musical singing style and regular singing style.

Recently, Sunye became a hot topic after 12 years when she performed on stage at Park Jinyoung’s 30th debut anniversary concert as a member of Wonder Girls. She recalled the scene where god, 2PM, 2AM, and Twice all appeared, saying, “It was like watching Park Jinyoung‘s 60th birthday party in advance”, making everyone laugh. When asked about the possibility of Wonder Girls reuniting, she responded positively, saying, “If the opportunity arises...”.

Sunye also shared her vivid experience when Wonder Girls became the first Korean singer to enter Billboard’s HOT 100 chart with ‘Nobody’. Unlike now, at the time, YouTube and SNS were not active, so he recalled that he had to personally travel all over the United States with Park Jin-young to hand out promotional flyers and do ‘walk-around’ promotions.



In particular, Sunye, who was the leader, revealed that she played the role of a ‘leading manager’, causing laughter. She explained that the times when she and Big Bang were active often overlapped, and that the fans‘ attention was focused on the ’collaboration stage‘ for the year-end award ceremony.

She said that fans called the two groups ’Bang Girls‘, and that although they were the same age as Big Bang during practice, there was a cautious tension and ’we didn‘t let go of each other’s words until the very end.‘ She added that they asked for each other’s permission whenever physical contact was necessary. Also, Sunye and GD (G-Dragon), who were leaders of each group, garnered attention by saying that they often performed on stage together. Then, Sunye revealed a word that Big Bang‘s Taeyang said with courage, and it is said that the studio was filled with laughter.

Sunye, who went from being the leader of the first-generation girl group Wonder Girls to challenging herself as a musical actress, can show off her eloquence through ‘Radio Star’, which airs today (the 12th) at 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
