In a delightful twist for fans of K-Pop, Girls' Generation’s Sunny has emerged as a mentor at A2O Entertainment, the newly established agency by the legendary Lee Soo Man. Observant fans caught a glimpse of Sunny in a promotional video from A2O, where she was actively involved in the 2024 Trainee Summer Training Camp.

The video, aptly named "A2O Trainee Summer Training Camp 2024 Highlights," features Sunny taking charge at the recording studio, where she was seen not only overseeing the sessions but also providing invaluable guidance to budding artists. With her casual attire and approachable demeanor, Sunny was all smiles as she shared her wealth of experience with the enthusiastic trainees.

This appearance comes on the heels of significant changes within the K-Pop landscape. After Lee Soo Man's departure from SM Entertainment in 2023, following a restructuring effort dubbed SM 3.0, he took a step towards realizing his vision through A2O Entertainment. Although bound by a non-compete agreement that limits his ability to produce music in South Korea for three years, Lee is gearing up for projects that primarily target the Chinese market.

Furthermore, Sunny also parted ways with SM Entertainment in August 2023, and her current role at A2O has ignited speculation that she might be officially joining her uncle’s new venture. Interestingly, Sunny is the youngest child of Lee Soo Young, the former head of Starworld Entertainment, adding a layer of family legacy to her involvement in K-Pop.

As fans eagerly await further developments, Sunny’s mentorship at A2O could signify a new chapter in her career—one where she guides the next generation of K-Pop stars. This unexpected collaboration raises exciting possibilities for both Sunny’s future and A2O Entertainment’s trajectory in the competitive K-Pop industry.
