Sun Mi quits WG to focus on her studies
This is really shocking! I’m lost for words again but for a different reason this time. i never thought that this would happen to Wonder Girls at the time when they are doing so well in US. This is a sad news for Mimi’s fans but let’s continue to show our love and support to 4-D and hope everything goes well for her. Hope WonderFuls will give as much love and support to the new member, 17 year-old Lim who will be joining the Wonder Girls in March. This is JYP Entertainment’s official statement:
JYP Entertainment has announced that Mimi from the Wonder Girls has decided
to postpone her musical career to pursue an academic career.Mimi, the rest of the Wonder Girls members, her family, and JYP Entertainment
have collectively decided to postpone her musical career for the time being.JYP Entertainment said, “Mimi had a truly memorable, once in a lifetime
experience while living in the U.S. and touring over 50 cities. We support her
decision to pursue an academic career at this time. We will also support Mimi if
she chooses to return to singing after her academics are complete. In the
meantime, she plans to frequent JYP facilities and continue her dance and vocal
classes.”Mimi will remain with the Wonder Girls in the U.S., continuing with any scheduled
performances and activities until the end of February. As of March, she will return
to Korea and prepare to focus on her studies. JYP has named 17 year old Lim as
the newest member to the quintet. Lim has gone through extensive training at the
JYP Academy for three years and is fluent in four languages: English, Korean,
Mandarin and Cantonese.

Hello. This news about Mimi is still quite shocking to me. I love all 5 girls but I’d lie if I didn’t say that Mimi is my favorite member because of her dorkiness. It’s a bitter-sweet day for me considering it’s the release of SNSD’s teaser and then this news. I don’t know how to quite react but I do understand her reasons and respect her so much more for making such a difficult decision. I know she is doing the right thing and she will not regret it. I will still support the WG through this and Lim because it is unfair for Lim to be judged as she is put into a new atmosphere. She deserves a fresh start just like Yoobin
Mimi will always be a Wonder Girl in my heart though <3
Btw, I write on omgkpop and I really appreciated you pointing out that the SNSD album was up on yesasia. I pre-ordered that minute because of you. Thanks again ^^
I had the exact same feeling when I woke up this morning. I was so excited last night with the Oh!MV teaser thing and this morning, it was totally a different feeling all together. I truly hope that WonderFuls will give their love and support to Lim as well and not throwing hateful comments towards her. Like you said, it’s really unfair to judge her.
I have to thank you for reading my blog and crediting me on omgkpop. I’m glad I could help. I read your posts on omgkpop everyday. So, keep in touch, Lauren!
