SUPERNOVA’s Yoon Sung-mo’s Facts
Yoon Sung-mo’s Debut with SUPERNOVA
Before officially debuting in 2007, SUPERNOVA had a little history about their career journey. The group that was originally formed by Mnet Media in 2006 had a 5-member line-up under the name GM5 which consisted of Park Geon-il, Kim Sung-je, Kim Kwang-soo, Song Ji-hyuk, and Han Ji-hoo. At the end of 2006, GM5 did a member line-up change with a 6-member formation where Ji-hoo was removed from the group and replaced with 2 new members, Jung Yoon-hak and Ki Jin-chul. Not long after, Yoon Sung-mo was added to the group to replace Kim Jin-chul. In 2008, SUPERNOVA made a promotion in Thailand. The following year, SUPERNOVA also collaborated with a rookie girl group at that time, T-ARA, with the song “T.T.L (Time To Love)” that was released in 2009, and in the same year, the group finally made its debut in Japan. SUPERNOVA was previously under the auspices of Maroo Entertainment (Korea), but the contract ended on June 21, 2018. After that, SUPERNOVA joined SV Entertainment (Japan). In 2011, almost all of SUPERNOVA’s members did solo activities. The members are heavily involved in various musical drama titles both in Japan and Korea. SUPERNOVA is a group that is quite active in promoting and releasing several songs every year. However, SUPERNOVA is more popular in Japan, so their discography also has more songs in Japanese than Korean. Individual members also have the opportunity to pursue solo careers by debuting as actors, models, singers, and more.
