Summer Anthem set for release by Sunmi according to reports
Sunmi, the celebrated South Korean solo artist, is gearing up for her return to the music scene with a new summer single titled "Bass(ad)". The much-anticipated release is scheduled for August 26, 2025, at 6 p.m. KST, marking her first endeavour since her last single "Balloon in Love" in 2024 [1][2][4].
The comeback trailer for "Bass(ad)" subtly references Sunmi's Wonder Girls days, hinting at a nostalgic connection to her roots as a bassist during the "Reboot" album era [4]. Sunmi and her agency, Abyss Company, are in the final stages of preparing the album, with details and concept teasers being gradually unveiled [1][2].
While rumours of a potential Wonder Girls reunion have been circulating, there is no official news or update confirming such plans at present [1][4]. The get-together among some Wonder Girls members last month has sparked reunion hopes among fans, but Sunmi's recent activities and statements have been centred around her solo comeback rather than group activities [1][4].
Sunmi's solo career began in 2013 with the release of "24 Hours", and since then, she has delivered several chart-topping hits such as "Gashina" and "Siren". Her latest project, the summer single trilogy, started with "Pporappippam" in 2020, followed by "Heart Burn" in 2022, and concluded with "Balloon in Love" [2].
With "Bass(ad)", Sunmi will be concluding her summer single trilogy, promising fans a fresh and exciting addition to her discography. The new single is set to be a significant milestone in Sunmi's solo career, further cementing her position as a prominent figure in the K-pop industry.
