[NEWS] 2PM Jaebum permanent withdrawal ‘Sunmi Liaison,’ JYP says “‘Groundless statement”!


Among the netizens, there is a rumor going around saying that 2PM’s former member Jaebum’s permanent withdrawal has to do something with the withdrawal of Wonder Girl’s Sunmi, who is in the same company as 2PM.

On February 25th, JYPE, 2PM’s company, revealed through their website, “We were planning on Jaebum’s return to the team but he said he would leave the team because of his personal mistake,” and also revealed, “2PM also agreed to this and allowed Jaebum to leave permanently.”

When this announcement was spread out, some of the netizens wrote on message boards of different internet websites, making guesses such as “The timing of Wonder Girl’s Sunmi’s withdrawal and Jaebum’s permanent withdrawal seems to be hinting something. Is there something going on between them?”

On one hand, there is an unconfirmed rumor going around saying “There are people who saw Sunmi and Jaebum together in the US.”

In response, JYPE dismissed these rumors by saying “It’s an unjustified statement. It’s a groundless guess and there is no relationship between the reasons of the withdrawal of the two.”

JYPE explained the reason for the withdrawal of Wonder Girl’s Sunmi: “She personally wanted to stop working as the Wonder Girls because of school and other reasons.”

For Jaebum, JYPE revealed, “We can’t reveal his mistake because it’s his private life. But this mistake is so much worse than the problem that led to him leaving last September, and this mistake could also lead to a more serious societal problem.”

It’s rare that contracts can be ended that easily in the entertainment business and because JYP said that Jaebum’s mistake is a serious problem in the society, netizens are assuming relations between Jaebum’s withdrawal to the withdrawal of Sunmi, who left around the same time.

Members of 2PM’s fanclub are making criticisms toward JYPE saying: “This is a conspiracy of JYP who wants Jaebum to permanently withdraw,” “The explanations don’t make sense. JYP never even thought about Jaebum’s return,” “JYPE is making up stupid reasons because they think Jaebum’s return will affect 2AM’s work.”

Last September, Jaebum left 2PM and returned to his home in Seattle because netizens found out about a post that he made on his blog during his training days, a post that belittles Korea.

The 4 WonderGirls members hada meeting with their WonderGirls fan union on 8th February and the fan union released the details throught their fancafe at about 11pm.

According to the representative of the fan union, SunMi’s training was shorter as compared to the other members since her debut she had missed out a much of her schooling life. And the members constantly felt SunMi’s regrets about it after they had their American debut.

They told the fans, “But our responses were the same as fans when it was revealed that SunMi will be stopping her promotions as WonderGirls for the time being. At first we panicked, and said that she will regret this, but after awhile we calmed down and gave our support for her decision.”


They also said, “And we know that SunMi is not one to make such decisions lightly, she has been thinking about this for a while, and discussed it with the members and company.”

And the WonderGirls member explained that rumours of the company pushing SunMi to leave the group is groundless. They said, “Debuting in the States was a dream which all the members have dreamt of. Even though we were afraid with all the saying that it is too early for our American debut, we really wanted to go to the States.”

They added, “The company also do not wish for its singers to be like puppet singers who just listens to whatever the company tells them to do.”

The members also talked about their feelings on SunMi temporarily stopping promotions as part of the WonderGirls. Especially for SoHee, who is of the same age as SunMi and stopped her high school education for her singer career together with SunMi, said, “It is true that it is hard to be away from the family as still a young student, so I understand how SunMi feels. With that said, I believed that she has thought things out since it is her choice after all.”

The WonderGirls also emphasized, “Even though ‘WonderGirls SuMi’ is important, individual ‘SunMi’ is also very important. Since this is her decision on her own life, if us members are to hold on to her, later on when she regrets, we don’t know how we are going to be responsible for that.”

Also, “There are people who are criticising like ‘This is the decision you made in the beginning, why are you calling it ends now?’. We hope people don’t look at it this way since hardship means differently to every individual and they deal with them differently.”

The 4 members of the WonderGirls had the meeting with 5 fan union representative from about 2pm in the afternoon that day.

Meanwhile, on 23rd January it was announced that SunMi will leave WonderGirls for the time being. With that, SunMi will be with the WonderGirls till the end of the month. And from March, she will return to Korea to start preparations for her college life.

And JYP trainee HyeRim (Lim) will be taking over the empty position in the group. Already on 4th February, she had her first official performance as part of the WonderGirls in China for an event.

WONDER GIRLS's SunMi withdraws from group; Hong Kong newcomer is added 

2010-01-25, 07:54 Sina Entertainment

Sina Entertainment wire. Beijing time January 25 morning news. According to Korean media reports, South Korean girl group WONDER GIRLS's 'Nobody' was a hit throughout Asia & also achieved pretty good results in America. But at the height of their popularity, team member SunMi announced she is withdrawing from the group to continue with her studies. After SunMi's departure, JYP China will arrange for the Hong Kong-originating, longtime-groomed Hui Lin (pinyin name) to replace her position.

A WONDER GIRLS manager revealed that SunMi expressed her wish to live like a normal person, as well as to pass the college entrance exams, before re-considering her entertainment career. JYP Entertainment, after discussing with SunMi & her family, decided to respect SunMi's decision.

The manager also said that, even though WONDERGIRLS's profile continues to rise globally, SunMi has been constantly uncomfortable about the future. She was constantly worried about having the radiant prospects in front of her abruptly ending. To prepare for it, she decided to temporarily cease all entertainment activities & resume her studies.

A JYP Entertainment manager said that, although SunMi is leaving WONDER GIRLS for now, it doesn't mean a permanent exit from the group, nor is she terminating her contract with the company. When SunMi feels time is ripe for a comeback, JYP Entertainment will assist her as extensively as before. To these, SunMi indicated that during the period of preparing for the college entrance examinations, she will take time out to continue rehearsing her singing & dancing at the company.




After SunMi's withdrawal, JYP Entertainment will promote newcomer Hui Lin (Lim) to take over from her. Hui Lin is born in Hong Kong, like SunMi in the year 1992. Fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese & Korean, she was a newcomer who had been groomed to be part of the company's plan to establish a China WONDER GIRLS.

It is learned that, after finishing American commitments by the end of February, SunMi will stop all entertainment activities. Hui Lin shall then formally replace her to become a new group member.

Moreover, having undergone a long period of training, her singing & dancing strengths are excellent. Also, [she's] very agreeable with WONDER GIRLS's cute-sexy image."

[NEWS] Why Did SunMi Decide To Leave Wonder Girls?

As most of you know, SunMi of Wonder Girls decided to postpone her career for now. There have been interviews, rumors, and other statements concerning her career, but she hasn't spoken for herself yet. Until now. It is really short, but here's what I found in Newsen.







The Wonder Girls, who are listed in America's Billboard Hot 100, is losing a member as SunMi decides to quit.

SunMi, effective immediately, will stop her activities as a singer. Originally, she has been scheduled in America until the end of February, but she will stop and go back to Korea to prepare for university from March. Wonder Girl's new member HeRim (from the Chinese Wonder Girl's 'Lim') will join and continue activities in America.

People have asked, "Why is she quitting?". SunMi's company, JYP Entertainment released a statement that, "She wanted to go to university." But fans are saying that SunMi decided this because she was young, lonely, and lacked experience to handle the pressures of America.

In June 2009, SunMi dropped out of university to start activities in America. The Wonder Girls have been all over America. They performed in the Jonas Brothers' concert, and had the glory of being in Billboard Hot 100, but they have also been under deprivation because of the rising popularity of idol groups in Korea.

In October 2009, SunMi said in a press conference that, "After starting activities in America, I cried every single night." Recently, she wrote in her Twitter blog that, "I'm starving". These caused a stir among fans.

SunMi released a statement through her company, "Over the past year, I was privileged to be in 50 of America's cities and to perform in concerts, and this gave me a lot of happiness and precious experience. But I worried to myself if this was the way that I would want to keep on living."

After talks between the members, company, family, etc, SunMi decided to finish her career as a singer, and to return to Korea has a student.

This is a sad event for all Wonder Girls fans. But whatever SunMi decides, let's hope that it is the right decision! Good luck to the new member HeRim and to Wonder Girls!
