Despite humble beginnings, Sunye's unwavering determination propelled her toward her dreams of becoming a singer.

"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

Delving into her involvement in the musical "My Mom," Sunye bravely opened up about her poignant connection to the role.

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

Embracing Motherhood and Music

With her resilience and newfound appreciation for family, Sunye continues to embrace life's challenges and joys, finding solace in her role as a mother and her pursuit of 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
