Sunny is just being lazy...?

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

You decide.

It's been months since fans and non fans alike took notice of Sunny's lack of enthusiasm and energy on the stage for the past few months, many quick to label her as lazy and question her dedication to Girls' Generation.

She addressed the issue [once again] during one of her radio show sessions of FMDate:


In addition, there have been several fanaccounts and fancams depicting Sunny's worsening condition as she has been missing concert goodbye stages, limping and requiring assitance from members and staff to move around after live stages and has even been spotted wearing ankle and knee braces on both legs.

Skip to 0:25

Sadly, knee injuries are not the only of her concerns as she has also been nursing a rib injury since last year (at least), wearing pain relief patches on her stomach.



It's not the first time Sunny has mentioned her knee injury, doing so as far back as 2009, during the filming of Invincible Youth season 1, again on Happy Together last year and once more on her FMDate radio show last May, describing her injury as a knee effusion.



Sunny has asked time and again for fans not to worry and expressed her gratitude for their continued support:

자야되는데 글자만 썼다 지웠다 반복... 내사람들 아프지마라~ 내가 늘 여기 있어요.. 그래 왔고 앞으로도 그럴꺼예요. 항상 고맙고 사랑해요...

— Sunny (@Sunnyday515) August 5, 2015

"I need to sleep but I keep writing and then erasing... Don't be hurt, my people~ I'm always here. It has always been like this and in the future, it'll be the same. I'm always thankful. I love you..."
Translation: @SoneStella

I believe she also mentioned her knee injury sometime during SNSD's debut, but I can't find the video for it, so I didn't add it.

Idk, reading so many comments where people call her lazy and uncaring really pisses me off. I've been wanting to make a post regarding this to clear the air a little bit for a while now.

That being said, I really dislike this athlete's kind of mentalitly some idols have. It's fine to want to try your best and work hard, but risking your health is not worth it in the long run. Fans would (most likely) understand if they needed a break, and as for antis...well, fuck them.

What do you think, Omona?

Poor Sunny.
Idols are always getting shit for anything and everything, the pressure must be high. I wish she would rest more, but with SM at her back I guess not...

[andshehopes.livejournal.com]

she's my bias so i support this post 100% BUT other than her injuries she has been a bit emotionally checked out. i just worry about her and hope she is given a break to heal up a bit, emotionally and physically.

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Yes, I wasn't sure whether to include her emotional state so I opted not to since it's mostly heresay.

It's no secret that Sicagate affected her, as well as her aunt's passing (LSM's wife) which was right after first CMIYC was filmed. :/

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

I feel so bad for sunny. :(
She still has a couple more weeks of promotion.
Tbh, I think she might just peace out next of GG because her knees seem really bad and constantly dancing on it must be painful.

[wishesgranted.livejournal.com]

I love Sunny and she's never appeared lazy to me, just exhausted. I wish people would lighten up on her and on idols in general, but I know that's a pipe dream.

If she has effusion in her knee it means she has some level of internal derangement, so she is probably in constant pain.

[kaykaydelight.livejournal.com]

That's terrible :( I gotta give her credit for still trying. Although I think she doesn't care for the idol life anymore and will most likely not renew her contract.

[klauses.livejournal.com]

that video of her going down the stairs with seohyun looked like it hurt. rest up girl, fans will understand

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

get her dad to pull her out of the group ezpzlmnsqz

ok seriously I think the sica thing took a toll on her, she seems pretty down about a lot of things so i hope she has a good support system around her.

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

people reaaally take chronic pain for granted. it's always easy to forget what it's like to be sick or in pain when you're not feeling it, and we've all had those few days of food poisoning or whatever that make us so grateful for our good health, but so many idols don't even have that, even though such circumstances could've been preventable. i can't imagine how frustrating and emotionally draining it must be as well as the physical strain. my mum's had chronic back pain the last few months and i see how much it stresses her out and pushes her to her limits. i rly don't know how idols cope with it on top of everything else, but "fans" need to take a step back and get some basic understanding and compassion. /rant

i have knee problems like sunny and sometimes i have to wear those brace things so i definitely sympathize w her
sometimes walking around campus was too much for my legs so i can't even imagine being constantly on the go and performing in heels (or just in general)

[purpleglaceon]

Let's be honest here; it's not those idol having the "athlete's kind of mentality" but their company forcing them to keep going. They don't have the choice.

[missingmisnomer.livejournal.com]

Her company definitely knows more about her knee injury than we do and should give her time to rest but she's a k-pop idol and an idol under SM so good luck with that

[redgreendress.livejournal.com]

I was really pissed off when people here were demanding "receipts" for her injuries. It's so incomprehensible to me that *fans' could watch videos of her clearly struggling to keep up this last year and be annoyed at her incompetence instead of worried about her well being. You know, as humans do! I hope she's listening to her doctor and not pushing herself, and SM better not be advising otherwise.

[maiihanii.livejournal.com]

this 'if i get love then it's ok to wreck my health' thing is making me so :( :( :( :(
it's not the first time i hear/see/read an idol saying stuff like that, so i can't tell if this is legit a thing they think or if (and this is probably more likely) it's just pr/what they're taught to say. in either case, :( :( :( :(

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

maybe is an athlete kind of mentality maybe not
after all idols are constantly competing , seems just natural for some of them .... well, not just natural i bet contracts has something to do too
I can't judge her, nobody wants to lose their jobs

she does seem kind of fed up on some recent shows tho
then again i can't judge her

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

this reminds me of a post I saw today about the Jung sisters having anemia and that being why they can't dance as hard. I never knew that and feel bad now :x

[kamoku-ayame.livejournal.com]

I could relate to them with the anemia :/ a lot of people call me lazy because I constantly feel exhausted and even walking up a flight of stairs makes me winded.

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

i realize somethings wrong with her at party-post-promotions because the dance is simple and required a lot of smiling, and she, who always act cute, now rarely smiling. sure o thought she was done, tired, or hate the song, so thank you for posting this to clear up my thought

[scheisse.livejournal.com]

If she's in constant pain, of course she's not going to be super peppy and enthusiastic on stage. Every time she's on stage she's probably just trying her best to fight through the pain because she has no other choice. Fans in general are always so damn selfish.

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

:( poor Sunny.

[extraenchanted.livejournal.com]

no, bb girl. no amount of love even by the most die-hard, kindest, supportive fans will bring your health back. don't say you can throw away your knees for the sake of love. you can't suffer like that. :( these idols need to be taught how to love themselves.

[slowitdownbaby.livejournal.com]

“if i can receive love by throwing away my knee, it's alright”

oh, sunny :( she's reminding me of what kai and lay say about their waist injuries.

smh this girl has been working almost non-stop for nearly 10 years, she (and the rest of the group) need to rest.
I'm willing to bet anything that SM is well aware of her injury but is turning a blind eye to it.

[typhlogirl.livejournal.com]

that line from her made me so sad :( it's just not worth it! she's still so young - how is this going to affect her in 20-30 years time? smh SM

[dot-rose.livejournal.com]

Whoaaa...Where did the Rib injury come from?!

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

I've no idea, actually. She's only mentioned having to wear these patches to relieve her pain, but she never said anything about how or where she got it.

[yakuniku-8.livejournal.com]

I hope these girls get real rest. I think the best for them would be to focus on solo activities and come back every two years like non idols.

Regarding Sunny we don't know what happened to her. In roommate they said she knows too much for her age. I guess the industry took her innocence away and I hope she can find something she likes.

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

she probably was zonked out on painkillers, just to get thru the performances, tbqh... so you probably weren't wrong...

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

And this is why I'm not totally enjoying the last round of promotions :/ they all need long holidays. And Sunny... I kinda hope that she won't renew her contract. Or that SNSD will slow down releases a lot so they all have more time for themselves.
On top of the knee injury, she's working a lot (I feel bad looking at their Channel when she has to do to her radio show on top of performing and doing variety) and she seems really exhausted. We can't say anything about emotional state but that wouldn't be surprising either...
This is really too sad.
In the end, Jessica has the best life now.

[thisoneputa.livejournal.com]

kick her out of the group tbh
