The song is also doing well on the charts.

After watching Sunmi's (former Wonder Girls) new song "Gashina" music video and live performance, I felt her good taste in music.
Did she decide to leave JYP because of the success of Wonder Girls' last masterpiece "Whｙ So Lonely"?
That's how I felt after watching the live performance of "Gashina".
I often listen to Wonder Girls' music, but I haven't seen many videos of her in them.
So I looked into it.
Sunmi was a member of Wonder Girls during their early activities.
However, she is missing a lot of their main activities, such as their US tour.
She took a break from activities under the pretext of concentrating on her studies.
She didn't go to America.
She returned to the group later in their career, replacing members who had left.
So I watched Wonder Girls thinking they were still making music in the same style.
It was "Whｙ So Lonely" that made me think, "Huh?" Their group sounds style with instruments was fresh.
I was so into it that when they performed in dance style, I was disappointed because the dance felt lukewarm.
But the music video was good. The visuals portrayed the overall lethargy of the music well.
Then I started to think that the dance stage was also very good.
When they appeared in instrument style, what made the biggest impression on me was Sunmi, who was singing and playing guitar on the right.
It was her who started singing at the beginning.
When I saw her face, I thought she looked like Seohyun (Girls' Generation).
If you look closely and compare them, it's hard to say whether they look alike.
But that's what I thought at the time.
It may have been the way she was wearing her makeup that made it look that way.
I don't know if that was the reason, but I focused on her in the music video and on stage for "Why So Lonely."
The impression I had at the time was so strong that I felt sad when it was decided that Sunmi would be leaving JYP.
If she wanted to continue her activities as a member of the Girls, she may have wanted to do it with "young people of her generation."
And if possible, she may have wanted to pursue a solo career...
In any case, this would not have been possible unless she left JYP.
Watching the live stage for "Gashina," I was relieved to see that what she thought and the world she expressed seemed to match.
One after another, members of the veteran Girls are going solo, but I would like to see Sunmi get off to a good start.
