On a 2018 episode of Talkmon, Sunmi said she first wanted to become a celebrity when her father was admitted to hospital due to pulmonary tuberculosis complications. She was inspired by BoA, who debuted at the age of 13, and it was for her "the fastest way to make money" to care for her mother and two younger brothers. She went to Seoul to audition and became a JYP Entertainment trainee at the age of 14, but her father died three months before her debut with Wonder Girls. Lee Sun-mi was adopted by her stepfather while in college and combined her old given name and surname.
