My tribute to Sunny on her 22nd(23rd) birthday (for the “sunshiners” on SNSDKorean) 😉
Lee Soon-Kyu (써니), aka Sunny Lee, aka “SunnyBunny”, aka “Aegyo Queen” came into existence on May 15th 1989, the 3rd of 3 sisters in the Lee household. She had a relatively interesting childhood, involving lots of intercontinental travel and even a somewhat major war thrown-in for good measure !
Coming of age, it was noticed that she had inherent talent and a career in show-biz was mapped-out for her, firstly in Starlight Entertainment for 5 years, followed by a transfer to SM Entertainment on recommendation by Ayumi, a well-known singer, where she was enshrined as the final member of “Girls Generation”, a newly formed K-Pop girl group.
So, being somewhat “challenged” in the height category, what could Sunny do to be assured of her “place” in a group composed of 9 “earthly angels” ? Well, apply the power of “aegyo”, of course ! Sunny has perfected the 3-stage aegyo routine (also known as “Cuteness That Calls For A Punch-C.C.P.”)

Reputed to turn even the strongest person into a mass of quivering “jelly”, it is particularly effective on the male species of the human race ! Even her “unnies” in the group are not immune to it and they can often be seen covering their ears to protect themselves from its devastating effects whenever it is unleased by Sunny (intentional or not :D).
Yet, is Sunny’s aegyo the only distinctive aspect of her personality that is worth taking note of ? Honestly, in my opinion, I believe that Sunny’s inherent beauty or aegyo is but one aspect of what makes her lovable to all and sundry, and her true beauty lies in the fact that she clearly demonstrates her love for her fellow men(and women) in truly tangible ways :). Witness her active involvement in “Invincible Youth”, helping the less fortunate in society, and more recently, stepping up to help her fellow “unnie” Taeyeon, when the latter was accosted on stage at the Angel Price Music Festival.
No, like Tiffany, Sunny epitomizes Agape Love in action, letting her actions speak louder than words and winning more fans along the way. Never once has she used her familial connections to get ahead in the “fame game”, perferring instead hard work and perseverance to win the admiration of industry giants and fans alike.
The inherent love that Sunny possesses extends also to the animal kingdom, as evidenced by the recent videos posted on-line showing her interaction with Greeny, a bovine of non-descript nature. Yet, inspite of that, Sunny vested all the love and care that she could muster in taking care of her, and the final parting was truly heart-breaking, to say the least :(.
So, Sunny: aegyo queen, “energy pill”, “danshin”, singer extraordinaire. What else ? Well, I do not know about you, but I find that she also has the cutest “eye smiles” imaginable, second only to the “queen” of “eye smiles”, Tiffany 😀 ! This, coupled with her boundless energy and aegyo, have assured her a firm place in the hearts and minds of fans and non-fans alike. 
So, Sunny, on this special day of yours, may The Good Lord bless you and keep you always, may His face shine upon you and his Grace be with you as you continue to make the world a happier place with your unique talents and God-given love for fellow living beings (human and non-human alike).HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Sunny !

Go Sunny !
Sunny!!! I’m so happy for her!! ^^ yay another year! I hope all of your wishes have come true
Lovely post, Kenneth! 😉 Though I think you should do a page break by clicking the “insert more tab”. That way you can have that “read more” icon on your post instead of showing your entire post on the front page. 🙂
Happy Birthday my Sunny Bunny!
Stay healthy! =)
happy birthday SUNNY BYNNY! Be healthy and always be the way you were before!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
SNSD ! fighting!!
aww man! good post. She was the reason i got into k-pop. I still remember her smile from the first time I saw the gee video. she’s awesome!
Trying not to bloviate to the best of my abilities.
Going with Annabananaz here. Since it’s probably Kenneth’s first time writing articles for a wordpress blog, he might be unfamiliar with how the configuration of posts in HTML work, so give him a break.
Kenneth, if you’re reading this, thanks for another awesome post and definitely more than just a worthwhile read!
Remember not to let yourself go unrestrained with these expositions of yours. Although nice that you’re expressing your honest opinions and rhapsodizing about SNSD or Sunny in general, do note that you can be a little overzealous sometimes.
Nothing wrong with it, but it can escalate in extravagant behaviour under the right circumstances. I don’t want that to happen.
… And because most readers visit this site for the latest news and isn’t entirely centered around descriptive writing, especially since some posts are fairly lengthy and occupies a large portion of the blog, which is why there’s an option to lead the reader to an alternate tab/link to read the full article as opposed to… well, you know.
In short, there’s a time and place for everything.
Nevertheless, it’s still a exceptional piece of English Literature!
I’ll be on the lookout for more handwritten articles by you in the near future.
*into extravagant behaviour.
Writing this in advance to anybody who might respond to me later on.
(Future… uh, foresight? I guess?)
I’m not criticizing Kenneth’s actions in any way, I’m merely expressing some concern for him. Genuine or not, it’s his call and he’s allowed to do whatever he pleases. Apologies if I sounded a little harsh, over-dramatic and uneasy. The only reason I typed out the bottom half of the comment is because I’ve had friends who had a personality change and became obsessed with nothing but personal gain ever since they attained a position of high power, and was condescending to co-workers. While Kenneth’s method of writing does assure me that he will not go down that path, I’m raising the concern for safety measures.
Lately I’ve been having some trouble with the format of WordPress. Kind of peculiar.
*underwent.
SUNNY JJANG ! hope that all your dreams that you wish for will come true this year! ❤
Another nice post, great job, Kenneth! Happy Birthday ar, Sunny 🙂
Sunny Sunny Sunny!!!! Nice post Kenneth (:
Is Kenneth new on the team? I love your special birthday article by the way! looking forward to more of such from you!
Noona!! hapy happy birthday to you!! stay strong and beautiful. 😀
Thank you very much, guys and gals; I’m really glad you all like the post ;).
Thanks dreadtech, annabananaz and Terrez for the tips on how to use the WordPress blog functions 😀 ! Yeah, it’s my first time using it and I really had no idea on how to do the “page-break” ;). No need for the written defence on my behalf, Terrez (although I know you meant well :D), annabananaz intentions are good and I really appreciate the help and tips here 🙂 I hope improve with each post that I put up here. Cheers !
Hey, it’s Terrez, and you can obviously tell that I’m writing this from a computer terminal in my school library.
Well, uh, haha. Got a ‘lil carried away and went off-tangent there. Good thing I realized my mistake before I could cause any more self-induced stupidity and “harm” to others. But since it’s all in good nature between us, I guess I can relax.
As for the blog, don’t rush head-first and allocate some time to allow yourself to get accustomed with any complex feature that you might encounter whilst using WordPress. And before you know, you’ll understand how to work the blog like the back of your hand… or the tip of your fingers… or whatever.
Anyway, see ya.
Kenneth, i enjoyed reading this very much (how could i not…its about Sunny, lol). But really, it’s very well written. I think u’ll be a fine addition to the SKE staff. Great job and Congrats!
