On the latest episode of the MBC’s “Radio Star”, host Ahn Young Mi mentioned that Sunmi was know as for decisively shutting down romantic overtures from other celebrities. When asked about her reputation for firmly rejecting these kinds of thing, Sunmi laughed shyly, and host Yoon Jong Shin asked her, “You get a lot of calls [from interested celebrities], right?”
Sunmi replied, “There have been instances like that, and in those cases, I change my number.” As the MCs were surprised, she went on to say, “Also, people around me often ask, ‘[someone] asked me for your number. Can I give it to him?’ and I’ll say no. Which means I’ve rejected him, but then I’ll hear from someone else, ‘[The same guy] asked me for your number. What should I do?'”
“So one time, I told [my friend], ‘Tell him I already have a fiancé. These days, I’ve been getting DMs on Instagram. I typically don’t respond to messages [on social media], but there are people who keep sending me messages on a regular basis. To be honest, those kinds of people scare me a little, so I block them. And [if I receive calls,] I’ll change my number. If I like someone, I’m the type of person who’ll approach that person first and start up a conversation. I also tend to have very long-term relationships, so I don’t start dating people all that easily.”
Yoon Jong Shin acknowledged that it seemed like Sunmi’s approach to dating would make it difficult to meet people, even celebrities. Sunmi agreed and then Ahn Young Mi asked her, “Does that make it [difficult] for you when writing lyrics?”
Sunmi replied, “Actually, I kind of obsessively avoid using the word ‘love’ when I’m writing lyrics. Almost all of my lyrics are about myself.” Ahn Young Mi jokingly responded with a wink, “If you ever put the word ‘love’ in your lyrics, then I’ll know you have someone.”
