Sunmi Talks About Going Back To The 2000s For Comeback Inspiration + Filming Zombie Apocalypse Scenes For MV

Aug 07, 2021

On August 6, Sunmi held an online showcase for the release of her third mini album, “1/6.”

About her new title track, “You Can’t Sit With Us,” she said, “In my last comeback, ‘TAIL,’ I wanted to leave a strong impression. This time, I wanted to show a lighter and more natural appearance. The beat is 140 bpm and really fast. It’s difficult to pull off, so I practiced a lot and thought hard about it.”

The visual concept of “1/6” is a throwback to the early 2000s. She said, “Because of the Y2K concept, it’s a much more cheerful and lighter image than I’ve shown before.”

The music video for “You Can’t Sit With Us” features action scenes like a zombie apocalypse movie. she said, “It was only for a short time, but I received training from the stunt director behind the Netflix series ‘Kingdom’ and the movie ‘Train to Busan.’ Rather than it being a difficult shoot, I would say that it was a really fun one.”

The album’s title “1/6” comes from the quote, “On the moon where gravity is one-sixth, will the weight of anxiety also be one-sixth?” Sunmi said, “I wanted my music to give comfort, fun, and lightness to those who are feeling heavy and weighed down right now.”
