Wonder Girls’ Sunye had to see her father pass away during her group’s American tour. After suffering such lost, she decided to continue right away with her activities showing her strong will and determination as Wonder Girls’ leader and receiving praise by staff members during the tour.

On the latest episode of Mnet Made in Wonder Girls, which aired on September 3th, Wonder Girls’ managers and staff members sent heartfelt messages of encouragement to Sunye.

Some of them said,

“She suffered a terrible loss but they way she carried on in order not to worry other people was admirable. She is very mature for her age and like a true leader.”

“When I look at Sunye, I don’t feel as if she is young. She is thoughtful and even though she must have been both psychologically and physically exhausted, the way she put everything into her performances was touching. I want to applaud her.”

Sunye’s father passed away on June 24th, just one day before the start of the second leg of the tour, which would take place in Hawaii. Due to this unexpected event, they were forced to reschedule the Hawaiian concerts and start the tour in Vancouver on June 29th. For some, it might have seemed like it was still too soon for Sunye, but she decided to continue on like a true professional, bringing much joy to her fans and successfully completing Wonder Girls’ first American tour.

& who can ever forget, Wonder Girls’ messages & tears for Sunmi… -subbed-

The Wonder Girls recently guest-starred on KBS 2TV Win Win, where they reconnected with their Korean fans. Amongst the fun and excitement, the girls got serious when they came upon the topic of exited member SunMi.

When MC Kim SeungWoo questioned the girls as to how they came to terms with the harsh reality of SunMi’s departure from the group, the girls shed tears and became solemn.

YuBin, who was SunMi’s roommate, hid her pain through a smile as she talked about the unnoticed hints that SunMi dropped about her hardships, saying,

I actually shared a room with SunMi in America. Honestly, SunMi often told me in a playful tone, “Unnie, I’m having a hard time. Should I give up?” She said it really jokingly, and I just accepted it as a joke and went along with her, “Oh, really? Then don’t [stay in the Wonder Girls].” That’s something that I really regret that now. I’m wondering why I did that; how did I not see it? If I sensed it back then, I would’ve been by her side and comforted her. I think I really regret that.

YeEun seemed to be the most emotional out of the group as she spoke,

I think that it was the hardest thing that we’ve had to face [during our three years as the Wonder Girls]. We went to America, and we went through a lot of pain. The five of us had a really hard time. I had the hardest time accepting [SunMi's departure] and so I didn’t want to acknowledge it. I worked really hard trying to make SunMi change her mind. I kept telling myself that something like that made no sense; how could it be happening? I kept trying to ignore it…

And she trailed off as her emotions got the best of her, and she couldn’t say anything more. However, leader SunYe stepped in to save the scene. She said,

The most important thing is that even though it was really hard for us all to come to terms with in the beginning, the most important thing is SunMi’s happiness. The Wonder Girls’ happiness as a whole is important too, but our individual happiness is more important. SunMi has her own life and so we thought that we should support her. Later we got to hear SunMi’s side too, and we shared a lot of talks.

When MC Kim SeungWoo talked about how he had heard that SunMi called the Wonder Girls when they arrived in Korea, YeEun added, “The most upsetting part is when people ask, ‘Do you still keep in contact?’ It’s not ‘do you still’…” Before she stopped once again due to the overwhelming emotions. YuBin swooped in and picked up from where YeEun left off and said,

It’s not “do you still keep in contact”. SunMi will forever be a Wonder Girl. We had our first music show broadcast today, and SunMi sent us a text telling us that she monitored our performance. [It read: "I saw it well; fighting!"] I was so heartbroken that I…

YuBin put her head down to shed some tears.

Kim SeungWoo offered, “So that means that SunMi watches your broadcasts. Why don’t you say something to her?”

YeEun smiled through her tears, laughing, “The thing that I’m most embarrassed about is that we always text each other, but I’m bawling on this show.”

Sohee, who had spaced off for most of this emotional discussion, said,

I think that SunMi monitors us more than we ourselves do. She’s really studying hard right now. We’re always supporting SunMi, and SunMi is always supporting us. We’ll never forget each other, and whether we’re in America or Korea, we’ll always call each other and live as if we’re right next to each other.

SunYe spoke to SunMi with a sweet message, saying,

Our SunMi, even though it’s been quite some time since we’ve seen each other… I want to first congratulate you for passing your GED. Even though we’re separated from each other, I want to thank you so much for encouraging us and sending us those texts. Since the time that we’ve spent together will never disappear, I want to meet up again whenever and have a good time. We’ll always support you wherever you are. We miss you, our SunMi!

This emotional conversation ended with a slow montage of SunMi’s performances and times with the Wonder Girls and tears in everyone’s eyes.

& time for a group photo…

Thanks to Danielle, Kevin & Matt for the pictures!

Be sure to check out Matt’s flickr for more photos

P.S: Alice’s banner is great!

We’ll update on more photos and the finished products on the project as soon as we have the photos.

It is currently being carried out by WonderFuls outside JYPE right now… Project completed.

Once again, we would like to thank all participating WonderFul & WonderFul fansites, from Asia all the way to U.S. in making this balloon message project a successful one.

Don’t forget to say a Thank You! to our fabulous Spec Team!

WG Spectacle SunMi Balloon Project from enigMatt on Vimeo.

Project: Messages to SunMi!

1. Balloons filled with our love!
We are going to buy 100-200 purple heart balloons and place them all around the JYPE building in New York City to show our love for Sun Mi. What we are going to do is tape messages from everyone onto the strings for the balloons so it will be a purple sea of letters to her.

What you can do: Leave us a SHORT 200 character or so message to Sun Mi in this post. It can be in English, Korean, or etc. but please realize that this has to fit on a small piece of paper. I am writing them all by hand and if it doesn’t fit on the paper I will just stop writing.

2. Pictures of our support!
We are going to buy a nice digital picture frame for Sun Mi with a memory card in it filled with images of her fans supporting her decision. That way she can always look at our show of support to cheer her on in her school endeavors.

What you can do: Give us a picture of yourself with Sun Mi if you met her. If you don’t have something like that take a picture of yourself holding up a sign of support to her. We want to show the fanbase the world over, so please take the picture showing where you are from so she can see that. PM the picture to Novaforever, or email it to wgspecproject@gmail and It will be added to the memory card going into the picture frame. Avoid sending pictures of just Sun Mi. She has plenty of those already. We want to show her the fans who love her!

3. Video collage of her fans!
We are going to organize and edit together a video of all her fans giving her a message of support. The messages will be limited to 30 seconds per person, so keep it concise.

What you can do: This is super easy, you can even use your webcam to shot your video. Just talk about how much you love Sun Mi and will miss her and you are done! Remember to keep the message positive, so no bashing anyone okay? SpecTV will be compiling the video messages so you can send them to worldspectv@gmail and they will take it from there.

These are easy projects that take a grand total of minutes to complete. We really hope to see every Spectacle member contributing to some, if not all, of these projects. Not only that, we hope to see people off of Spectacle also participating. You can spread the word about these projects. If people want to do submissions they can always sign up and post her on spectacle or use the email addresses WGspecproject@gmail and worldspectv@gmail to give us their messages.

DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 13TH FOR MESSAGES.

LET’S MAKE THIS THE BEST PROJECT EVER GUYS!
