SUNMI Discusses Her Dating Life and J.Y. Park’s Previous Comments on ‘Salon Drip 2’

South Korean singer SUNMI is poised to unveil intimate details about her life in the upcoming episode of the popular YouTube talk show, Salon Drip 2.

A teaser released during the September 2nd episode, which featured DAY6 members Sungjin and Wonpil, showcased glimpses of SUNMI’s anticipated guest appearance. The show’s host, Jang Do Yeon, ignited a lively discussion by questioning the necessity of significant breakups in crafting chart-topping songs.

Upon reflecting, SUNMI responded with a hint of exasperation: “Well, first I need to actually be in a relationship. But I really can’t stand the talking stage. Why do people play games?” To this, Jang Do Yeon resonated, stating, “Exactly. I wish people would just get to the point. Are we dating or not? If not, then move on.”

Reflections on J. Y.Park’s Concerns

The conversation soon shifted to comments made by J. Y.Park during his appearance on MBC’s Radio Star. He had previously expressed concerns about SUNMI, sharing, “SUNMI lost her father at a young age and, as the eldest daughter, took care of her younger siblings. I once saw those emotions directed toward a guy. That’s when I said I wouldn’t see her anymore. I knew the guy and could tell she was drawn to him out of maternal instinct. It frustrated me, so I distanced myself for a while. But she’s not like that anymore, so I don’t worry about her now.”

Reflecting on her past, SUNMI shared, “It really happened just once. That was my very first relationship, and it ended with that one person.” When the subject of her ideal type arose, she humorously gestured to describe a particular face shape, saying, “I’m drawn to a certain type of face. Shoop, shoop.” This prompted a lighthearted jab from Jang Do Yeon, “Wait—shoop, shoop? J. Y.Park?” which sparked laughter among the cast and crew.

Fans can look forward to more personal insights when SUNMI’s complete interview airs next week on Salon Drip 2.
