Timeline

1989

Susan Soonkyu Lee (born May 15, 1989), known professionally as Sunny, is a Korean-American singer and entertainer based in South Korea.

Sunny was born on May 15, 1989, in Orange County, California.

Her family consists of her parents and two older sisters who are ten and fifteen years older than her.

She and her sisters share the same birthday.

Sunny's paternal uncle is Lee Soo-man, the founder of SM Entertainment.

While she was still an infant, her family moved to Kuwait, then moved again shortly after to South Korea, during the time of the Gulf War.

As a result of her brief war experience, Sunny grew up being scared of loud noises.

She was influenced to become a singer by her father, who was in a college band.

1998

In 1998, Sunny joined SM Entertainment and became a trainee for five years.

She transferred to Starworld agency, where her father worked as a manager, and was to debut in a duo group called Sugar.

The group, however, never came to fruition.

2002

The story was turned famous by the 2002 movie of the same name.

She played a character named Brenda, who is the girlfriend of the male lead.

Her performance received favorable reviews.

Shin Yeong-seon from The Chosun Ilbo noted on Sunny's ability to understand the character and praised her well-portrayal of Brenda's "exaggerated cuteness and flippant acting".

Jang Kyungjin of 10asia enjoyed her singing, "While Sunny wasn't a member in her group who put her vocals forth, she showed her power through Brenda's 'Fly, Fly Away' with her clean, firm voice, showing her potential to the audience."

Sunny was nominated for the "Best New Actress" at the 6th Musical Awards.

2007

She debuted as a member of girl group Girls' Generation (and later its subgroup Girls' Generation-Oh!GG) in August 2007, which went on to become one of the best-selling artists in South Korea and one of South Korea's most popular girl groups worldwide.

Apart from her group's activities, Sunny has participated in numerous side projects including original soundtracks, television variety shows, musical acting and radio hosting.

In early 2007, singer Ayumi Lee convinced Sunny to rejoin SM Entertainment.

She continued her training there and made her official debut as a member of Girls' Generation in August 2007.

2008

In early 2008, Sunny worked as a co-host of the Melon Chunji Radio with Super Junior's Sungmin.

In August 2008, she contributed a solo song, "You Don't Know About Love" for the SBS's drama Working Mom.

2009

The group gained significant popularity with the release of their hit single "Gee" in 2009.

Aside from Girls' Generation's activities, Sunny has participated in a number of side-projects.

In 2009, Sunny released two songs—a solo track "Finally Now" for the interactive movie Story of Wine and a duet "It's Love" for the MBC's drama Heading to the Ground, with Girls' Generation's member Taeyeon.

During 2009 and 2010, Sunny was a co-host for MTV Korea television music program The M with SS501's Kim Hyung-jun and 2AM's Im Seulong.

She also joined the KBS2's variety show Invincible Youth along with Girls' Generation member Yuri.

The reality program narrated a journey of a group of South Korean celebrities who were brought together to work and experience the agricultural and rural life.

2010

In March 2010, Sunny recorded "Your Doll" for the SBS's drama Oh! My Lady soundtrack—it became her first song to enter the Gaon Digital Chart, at number 88.

2011

During 2011 and 2012, she continued on with her participation in KBS2's Invincible Youth 2.

She was praised by the director of the show as someone who has "intelligence", "great adaptability" and the ability to make other cast members get along well.

2012

In January 2012, stepping into the field of voice-over for the first time, she was featured in the Korean-dubbed version of animated film The Outback.

She voiced a koala character named Miranda.

Sunny found the recording process to be initially difficult, stating that because Miranda was such a "charismatic" and "strong" character, it was hard to express "with just [her] voice" as it would have been "a different story if [she] was showing the actions".

With the help of the director, however, she was able to finally "grasp the character".

In March 2012, Sunny became a host for SBS MTV's television program Music Island.

During the year, she also recorded two duets—the first song is titled "I Love You, I Love You", with Brown Eyed Girls' member Miryo while the other one is titled "It's Me", with f(x)'s Luna for the SBS's drama To the Beautiful You.

The songs debuted at number 56 and 25 on the Gaon Digital Chart and at number 51 and 16 on Billboard's K-pop Hot 100 chart, respectively.

During 2012–2013, Sunny was cast in her first musical, Catch Me If You Can, based on the true story and life of a con man named Frank Abagnale.
