Sunmi Says She Would Rejoin Wonder Girls 'If A Good Chance Came Up' In High Cut Interview

Though former Wonder Girls singer Sunmi's solo career has been exploding lately with the release of her new single "24 Hours," currently number 10 on the Billboard K-Pop Hot 100, according to statements she made in this month's High Cut Magazine, the singer is open to rejoining her former band when the time is right.

"I would be glad to join Wonder Girls if a good chance came up," Sunmi told reporter Lee Dajung.

"I think this possibility is open to me. All members are now doing individual activities and this solo period is very important for each of us."

Sunmi, who is now 21, believes enough time has passed since she left the group in 2010 to consider a new start with Wonder Girls.

"This is the seventh year for Wonder Girls and it's time for us to move on to the next phase," she said. "We should be prepared for the future while doing what we wanted to but couldn't do."

Sunmi famously left Wonder Girls while the group was touring the US in the height of their fame, a decision she blamed on being an overwhelmed teen.

"I was only 18 [when I quit the band]," Sunmi said.

"I was too young to control myself. The whole [US tour] was too much for me because I couldn't speak the language. I didn't have any friends, and so on. Most of all, I suffered from a serious homesickness. I missed my family so much. I missed Korea and the people I love. If I had been old enough [like I am now], I would have been better at dealing with difficulties in a more mature way and focusing on my work. But it was too much for me at the time."

In an interview last month with the publication eNEWS, the singer admitted that her former group loomed large as she prepared to make her comeback.

"I found that a lot of people are looking forward to my comeback because I used to be a member of Wonder Girls," Sunmi said.

"I'm nervous on whether I′ll be able to live up to those expectations, but I′m still happy that I′m returning to the stage. I want to show everyone how much I′ve changed."
