Lee Soo-mi’s Facts

Lee Soo-mi’s Debut as a Coed School Member
Soomi made her debut as a Coed School member in 2010 and successfully released “Too Late” and “Bbiribbom Bberibbom” as part of the group’s debut project. In Coed School, she was in charge as the group leader, lead vocalist, and rapper. Soomi revealed that it was quite hard for her to become the leader of Coed School since she used to be the youngest member of SeeYa. Nevertheless, she enjoyed her time as a Coed School member as well.
Coed School released their first mini-album Something That Is Cheerful and Fresh, which lead them to gain more recognition from people. Several months after their debut, the agency decided to divide Coed School into two subunits, namely SPEED and F-ve Dolls.
Lee Soo-mi: Active as a F-ve Dolls Member
Seeing the increase in popularity of Coed School, the agency divided the group into two subunits: one of them was F-ve Dolls. The girl group consisted of Soomi, Chanmi, Hyoyoung, Hyewon as well as added members Eunkyo, Nayeon, Seunghee, and Yeonkyung. Soomi was in charge as the leader and lead vocalist of F-ve Dolls. While she was in F-ve Dolls, Soomi was the leader of the group. F-ve Dolls marked their debut with the release of “Lip Stains” and “I Mean You” in 2011. Soomi additionally increased her popularity with other members Chanmi, Hyoyoung, Hyewon, Nayeon, and Eunkyo. Due to the group’s popularity, the agency decided to make F-ve Dolls an independent group.
Unfortunately, in the meantime, Soomi decided to leave the group in 2012 along with Chanmi. Then the group added several new members such as Seunghee, Nayeon, Yeonkyung, as well as temporary members Shannon and Jihyun.

F-ve Dolls’ Lee Soo-mi’s Scandal: Becoming a Victim of Bullying
In the course of her career journey, Soomi unfortunately, became a victim of bullying. It was reported that Soomi decided to leave the group because she wanted to pursue a solo career, and that was what was said by Core Contents Media at that time. Turns out, it wasn’t the only and real reason. Soomi was bullied by her groupmates Chanmi and Eunkyo while they were in F-ve Dolls together. They were reportedly responsible for Soomi leaving the group. Not only that, but Eunkyo also tried to “make friends” with Soomi’s closest circle with the purpose to turn them against Soomi by spreading rumors about her, and somehow it worked. Eventually, Soomi wasn’t close to them any longer. Even though the agency told the public that Soomi wanted to pursue an acting career, many people still believe that she was actually bullied into leaving by her groupmates.
