Soon-kyu Lee, aka ‘Sunny’ (born May 15, 1989) in Los Angeles, California, is a South Korean K-Pop singer, radio DJ, music show host and member of the Korean girl group Girls’ Generation. She is one of the lead vocalists and sub-rapper of the group. Sunny moved to Kuwait when she was an infant, however, her family moved to South Korea around the time of the Gulf War. She has two older sisters, who share the same birthday as her but were born in different years. She speaks fluent Korean, along with basic English, Chinese, and Japanese. She is the niece of Lee Soo Man, the founder of SM Entertainment. Sunny’s other nickname is “The Aegyo Queen” which was given to her due to her childlike charm and innocence. She is also often referred to as a “Bagel”, a word used to define someone with both a “Baby Face” and a “Glamorous Body”.
In 1998, Sunny entered Starlight Entertainment and became a trainee for 5 years before transferring to Starworld where she became a member of a duet called “Sugar” which never debuted. One of her older sisters was the manager for Sugar, but when the duo disbanded, she became active in other parts of the music industry. In 2007, she was recommended by the singer Ayumi, who transferred to SM Entertainment. After several months of training under SM Entertainment, Sunny debuted as a member of Girls’ Generation that same year.
Sunny has contributed to a few soundtracks as a solo artist, singing the theme song You Don’t Know About Love for the SBS drama Working Mom, Finally Now for IPTV’s Story of Wine and Your Doll for the SBS’s Oh! My Lady. She is featured on the Heading to the Ground soundtrack, singing a duet with Taeyeon in the song SarangInGulYo and another song titled Motion performed with the vocal line of the group. She participated in the S.E.O.U.L. song project along with Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, Leeteuk, Ryeowook, Sungmin and Donghae and fellow Girl’s Generation members Seohyun, Sooyoung, Jessica and Taeyeon.
Sunny was a permanent member on the television show Star Golden Bell until Girls’ Generation’s song Oh! came out. Sunny alongside with Yuri was a part of reality show Invincible Youth in which they were a part of G7, consisting of 7 girls from idol groups. Due to Girls’ Generation’s Japanese debut and other activities, Sunny left the show, along with Hyuna and Yuri, in June 2010. On October 17, it was confirmed that Sunny would be joining for the second season of Invincible Youth alongside with Hyoyeon. She is the only returning member from original G7. Sunny was also a co-DJ of the radio show Chunji until the broadcast ended in July 2008. Sunny also co-hosted a music show called The M with Kim Hyung Jun of SS501 and Im Seulong of 2AM, but had to leave the show due to her busy schedule. Her last appearance as an MC for the show was on April 4, 2010. -Wikipedia

Why we think she’s hot:
‘Aegyo’ is a Korean word which comes from the Chinese characters (ae) for ‘love’ and (gyo) meaning ‘beautiful’. The closest English translation would probably be ‘winsome’, which is defined by the Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary as ‘generally pleasing and engaging, often because of a childlike charm and innocence.’ Obviously, Aegyo is considered a feminine trait, attributed to women who can charm through a balance of sweetness and poutiness, cuteness and modesty. Aegyo, in fact, is considered such an essential female trait within much of the Asian community, that there is even a plastic surgery procedure called ‘aegyo surgery’ in which skin is created on the bottom eyelid to create a sweeter and more innocent appearance. Ladies and gentlemen, although she is South Korean and not Chinese like the word’s origin may suggest, Lee Soon-kyu, the Girl’s Generation star who is affectionately known to a wider audience as Sunny, is also very well renown as… ‘The Aegyo Queen’. Enough said?
