[edit] Biography
SunMin was born on August 4, 1987 in Daegu, South Korea. She speaks Korean and Japanese, thus allowing her to perform in both languages. At a young age, she was inspired by R&B artist and especially American singer Christina Aguilera. She loved to sing in front of neighbors and relatives since her childhood. At age 13, in her first year of middle school she was enchanted by a live of Christina Aguilera and told many people that she dreamt of singing. She was determined to be a singer in Japan so she came to Japan.
She would continued to study Japanese and did vocal training and soon made a demo tape of her singing and prepared for her first time debut in Japan. After recording a demo she left South Korea to pursue a career as an artist in Japan, working with the likes of Toshinobu Kubota who did a duet with her for her debut single, "Keep Holding U". She later released a Korean version of the song with Hye Sung as SunMin thanX HyeSung (Shinhwa). Her latest single is "Starting Story" which was released in August.
