Wonder Girls member Sun Mi, aka Mimi, has announced that she will be leaving the group to take a break from her music career and to pursue her study.
JYP Entertainment said, “Mimi had a truly memorable, once in a lifetime experience while living in the U.S. and touring over 50 cities. We support her decision to pursue an academic career at this time. We will also support Mimi if she chooses to return to singing after her academics are complete. In the meantime, she plans to frequent JYP facilities and continue her dance and vocal classes.”
Mimi will remain with the Wonder Girls in the US, continuing with any scheduled performances and activities until the end of February. As of March, she will return to Korea and prepare to focus on her studies.

5 decades of Korean girl bands
The Kim Sisters were arguably the first girl group in the history of Korean popular music. They debuted in their teens in the early 1950s, and were extremely popular among U.S. soldiers stationed in Korea. They played many instruments and danced, and enjoyed substantial success in the United States when they debuted there in 1959. After returning to Korea in 1970, they released a number of hit songs.
Hoping to emulate the Kim Sisters’ success, there were many new “sister” groups from the late 1950s.
