Former Wonder Girls member Sunmi talked about her departure from JYP Entertainment

Sunmi explained, "I felt like a frog in a well. I was under JYPE for 10 years. It was difficult to leave and I'm also afraid of new things, but the reason I made the decision was that I felt like my perspective was limited. I believed there would be a different world (outside of JYPE)." 


She also compared her former and current labels, and said, "JYPE is a long-running agency so it's very systematic whereas the style of MAKE US Entertainment is freer."


Following Wonder Girls' disbandment, Sunmi signed with MAKE US Entertainment. You can check out her comeback with ''Gashina" MV here
