Sunmi posted a response to a negative comment about her comeback and idols being credited with composing their own music.

On July 30, it was reported that Sunmi will be making a comeback in August with a self-composed song. Her agency later confirmed that the singer is currently working on her new album with the goal of a late August comeback.

Later that day, Sunmi shared a screenshot of the initial report, which states in the title that her comeback will be with a self-composed song. In her screenshot, she showed the emojis that readers had responded to the article with, which include 143 “angry” responses. She also attached a screenshot of a comment from the article that said that most idols including Sunmi don’t contribute much to their self-composed songs, with the arranger and co-writers working to extreme lengths to create the music instead.

Sunmi wrote in the caption, “No matter the format, creating something is a very difficult process. You also need help from many people in various ways. But if the person in the lead doesn’t know what story they want to tell, can’t understand what they want to express, can’t explain it and can’t carry it out, then the people who work with them become confused.”

She added, “I do not put on the appearance of working on music just to put my name on the album credits. I think hard about each part of the process of making the lyrics, melody, arrangement, and album. I refine it, fix it, and complete what I’m trying to express. It is your personal prejudice that most idols including me are like that and I hope it is not believed as true.”

Sunmi has personally written many of her recent hits, including writing or co-writing the lyrics for “Noir,” “Siren,” “Heroine,” and “Gashina,” and co-composing “Noir,” “Siren,” and other tracks on her latest mini album “Warning.” She also took part in creating songs for Wonder Girls while promoting with the group.
