Park Jin Young is Going All In for Former Wonder Girls Member Sunmi

Park Jin Young is giving his all for Sunmi's comeback.

Not only is Park Jin Young involved in the producing, but he also has a hand in everything from choreography to stage attire for Sunmi. He announced that she's going to be releasing a 'Coming of Age Ceremony' that was such a hit for Park Ji Yoon 13 years ago.

On August 5 a JYP representative said, 'Sunmi's comeback is official. Producer Park Jin Young is involved in every single detail, from producing to choreography and attire. The concept is a 2013 version of 'Coming of Age Ceremony.' Sunmi was discovered by Park Jin Young and trained by him as well. Consequently, Park Jin Young is very protective and proud of Sunmi. In February of 2007, Sunmi debuted as a member of Wonder Girls, releasing a single called 'Irony.' However, in February of 2010 Sunmi stopped being active in Wonder Girls because of her education. She attended the Dongguk University School of Drama in 2011.

Sunmi's comeback stage has been determined for MNet's 'M Countdown' on August 22.

One official said, 'I know the album preparations are done. Even though Wonder Girls has been on break for the last four years, because they are always diligently practicing in the JYP practice room, their talents have not faded. Actually it can be said that they are more skilled now than ever.' And 'To show her capabilities as a solo artist, Sunmi has been preparing very diligently.'

In February of 2010 Sunmi took a break from Wonder Girls to pursue higher education. However, her training and practice never stopped. She learned and practiced song and dance as a JYP Entertainment trainee. Even her preparation for her comeback was steady. She frequently hung out with JYP's Wonder Girls, 2PM, Miss A, and she kept in touch with all her fans via various social networking sites. Sunmi's comeback is likely to be influential in the music industry, as well as in the lives of other artists in JYP.

Sunmi debuted as a member of Wonder Girls in February of 2007. To follow their single 'Irony,' they released their album with the title song 'Tell Me.' Their fame exploded, and they held the number 1 spot for six consecutive weeks on KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank.' Not only that, they had the number 1 spot on Melon for eight consecutive weeks as well. After that they became known as the leading girl group of K-pop with their songs 'So Hot' and 'Nobody.' In 2008 they even debuted in the American market. In 2009 they piqued fans' interests by opening for America's top boy band 'The Jonas Brothers.'
