When Sunmi picks up a bass, it’s not just music — it’s a statement.
After over a year away from the spotlight, Sunmi is back — and louder than ever. On August 7th, her agency Abyss Company unveiled the “SUNMI Comeback Trailer: Bass(ad)” via her official YouTube channel, teasing a dramatic new era that blends nostalgic callbacks with fearless evolution.
The trailer opens with a striking visual: Sunmi in a platinum blonde bob, smoky eye makeup, and a white tube top under a boxy denim jacket, strutting in heels with unmistakable confidence. But it’s more than just the look — she’s seen playing the bass guitar herself, hinting at a bold new sound driven by her own rhythm.
This marks Sunmi’s first comeback in over a year since her 2023 single “Balloon in Love,” and anticipation is already soaring.
What makes this teaser even more thrilling for longtime fans? It harks back to her legendary Wonder Girls “Reboot” era, where her bass performances turned heads and carved her distinct path as a solo artist. That same energy pulses through the teaser — dark, elegant, and unapologetically provocative.
With past hits like “Gashina,” “Heroine,” “Noir,” “Lalalay,” “Pporappippam,” “Tail,” “You Can’t Sit With Us,” and “STRANGER,” Sunmi didn’t just top charts — she created an entire subgenre lovingly dubbed “Sunmi-pop” by fans and critics alike. It’s a world where every comeback feels like its own universe, packed with layered visuals, addictive melodies, and subtle storytelling.
This time, she seems to be pushing even further — mixing artistry with mainstream appeal, and turning a simple trailer into a full-scale sonic moodboard.
Sunmi’s new single drops August 26 at 6 PM KST on all major streaming platforms. And if the trailer is anything to go by, this comeback won’t just make noise — it’ll leave a bassline in your memory.
