SUNMI Returns With New Video ‘You can’t sit with us’

SUNMI is back and better than ever in her zombie apocalypse-inspired music video for her song “You can’t sit with us.” She is not the only soloist making her mark in August, but Somi also returned from a year-long hiatus with her own single “Dumb Dumb.” SUMNI is styled in 90s-inspired outfits, a complete contrast with the abundance of summer-themed concepts flooding the K-pop industry at the moment. “You can’t sit with us” is one of six songs on her EP ⅙. The mini-album also includes the songs “SUNNY,” “1/6,” “Call,” “Narcissism,” and “Borderline.”

SUNMI’s “You can’t sit with us” was released on August 6 and immediately gained the attention of K-pop fans worldwide. She is known for her eccentric retro beats, and this comeback is the perfect example of SUNMI’s musical identity. Her style makes her stand out among the other soloists in the industry, such as CHUNG HA and IU.

Watching SUNMI perform feels as though one is experiencing a roller coaster of emotions. As a former Wonder Girls member—a second-generation girl group under JYP Entertainment—she has the most experience by far. Her facial expressions and vocal range tie each performance together. Audiences can feel the music through her aura and outgoing performing abilities when it’s her turn to shine.

“You can’t sit with us” is largely inspired by 90s cinema. The music itself contains traces of cinematic value, as though it were made to be a part of an original soundtrack for a thriller film. Its music video portrays exactly that feeling, with a strong female lead taking down zombies. But there is a side timeline that lets SUNMI indulge in romance, which is what the lyrics are truly about. She sings, “Because of you, I’m out of my mind. I hate you. When I think of you, I’m feelin’ faded. Why don’t you know my heart, God damn it. Who do you think you are?” SUNMI is confused and conflicted by her lover’s actions, and this song becomes her response.

The music video is a whole film of its own. Nearly five minutes long, SUNMI’s music video is jam-packed with stylish sets and matching costumes that make way for the explicit action scenes. A combination of different filming techniques makes her video resemble more of a blockbuster movie than an average K-pop music video. “You can’t sit with us” quickly surpassed 10 million views on YouTube and is steadily increasing on the charts. So far, the song is doing very well, reaching over a million Spotify streams and having new content released every day.

Fans are in love with this era, and SUNMI executed it perfectly.
