Sunmi (Makeus Entertainment)

Sunmi, formerly of the disbanded Wonder Girls, will release a solo album on Aug. 22.

The album will mark the singer’s return to the K-pop scene after three years.

Sunmi moved from her former management agency JYP Entertainment to Makeus Entertainment after Wonder Girls disbanded in January.

The now 25-year-old songstress debuted in 2007 as a supporting vocalist in Wonder Girls.

She halted group activities in 2010 to pursue studies at Dongguk University and recuperate after nagging ankle injuries. She later went on to release hit solo tracks “24 Hours” and “Full Moon” in 2013 and 2014, respectively, at JYP Entertainment.

Sunmi returned to join Wonder Girls in 2015 for studio album “Reboot” and singles “Why So Lonely” and “Draw Me.”
