Sunmi Talks About 16-Year Career
During her interview with Marie Claire Korea, Sunmi talked about her experiences throughout the past 16 years that she has worked as a singer.
The 29-year-old said that the past 16 years still have had a huge influence on her music today.
Sunmi also remembers all the emotions she felt many years ago, and they also impact her music at present time.
Over the years, Sunmi's taste in music and the way she expresses herself have changed over time. But all these factors combined will certainly have an effect on the music that she would release in the near future.
When asked about her future music releases, Sunmi said that her fans should wait and see what she will come up with. After all, she will be trying out some of the things that she has never done before.
Sunmi admitted that there was a time in her life wherein she felt stuck. But now, she has become more determined than ever to break all these boundaries.
The singer happily declared that she no longer feels old-fashioned in the industry.
Of course, the singer did not also shy away from revealing who her biggest inspirations are. She said that she looks up to people that do their job well just like Olivia Rodrigo, Charlize Theron, Shin Min Ah, and Kim Hye Soo.
