[edit] Career and biography

She was a former member of the Tsunku-produced duo EE Jump along with Yuki Goto (Maki Goto's younger brother). Yuki was caught underage in a bar, which got him suspended from EE Jump. When the band released its next single, calling the artist EE Jump Featuring Sonim, and it proved to be more popular than other EE Jump singles, the band released one more single, and then disbanded.

Sonim began her own solo career under the Toys Factory label, but then switched to Harmony Records. She is currently in a unit called tomboy with Akane Osawa, which debuted in November 2007.[1]

Sonim can play the guitar and speak Japanese, English, and Korean.

Her ancestors came from Gyeongsangnam-do to Japan. Her Korean name is Sung Sun-Im (Korean: 성선임).

She is 159 cm (63 in) tall, is blood type O, and her favorite color is pink.
