Sunmi is directly addressing a persistent Sunmi Park Jin-young rumor that has followed her for years. The artist recently appeared on a preview for the YouTube show Salon Drip 2 where she finally clarified the misunderstanding about her relationship with the JYP Entertainment founder.

The rumor stemmed from Park Jin-young’s past comments on a TV show, where he discussed a time when he and Sunmi had a disagreement over her dating life. He stated that he had advised her against a particular relationship, but she ignored his advice, which led to a period of time where they didn’t see each other. This led many to believe they had a major falling out.

However, Sunmi set the record straight during her appearance. “I really want to clarify that it was only that one time,” she emphasized. When Jang Do-yeon said, “Oh, so it was just that one person,” Sunmi reiterated, “It was literally my very first relationship, and that was it. Just once.”

At the end of the clip, Jang Do-yeon asked Sunmi about her ideal type. Sunmi described a sharp, V-shaped jawline with her hands. Jang Do-yeon then playfully asked, “J.Y.P.?” Sunmi’s eyes widened in disbelief, and she quickly waved her hands, laughing, “No, no!”

The clarification has provided relief for fans who worried about the relationship between the two. The playful and direct exchange between Sunmi and host Jang Do-yeon ended on a humorous note, showing that there is no bad blood between the artist and her former mentor.
