Sunmi reveals IVE's 'Love Dive' was offered to her first

AKP STAFF

On the morning of the 23rd, Sunmi appeared as a guest on KBS Radio's Cool FM show, "Park Myung Soo's Radio Show" (commonly known as "Radio Show").

During the "Radio Show," Sunmi shared about how the hit song "Love Dive" by the group IVE was initially proposed to her. She expressed, "It's such a great song, and when I first heard it, I thought that if my girl group friends perform it, it would do really well. I felt that it might be too obvious if I did it. However, the IVE members did such an excellent job, and they received a lot of love for it."

In response to Park Myung Soo's question about whether she felt upset that the song was stolen from her, Sunmi said, "Not at all. I've been in the industry for 17 years, and I don't feel bad about others doing well."

we already knew this though? she talked about it before. and she then, too, said she was super happy for IVE and that the song was so successful. Sunmi is a very sweet and generous person, she's not jealous nor envious. she just did a tiktok dance challenge with wonyoung, too. they are on good terms and support each other. it's very normal in the industry to "pass around" songs.

I just re-watched the Love Dive music video. With the many smooth transitions and different voices it works so well. It just seems like a richer experience when performed by a group. I can see why Sunmi has nothing bad to say about how IVE performed the song.
