Sunny Days () was a South Korean female idol group established by Haeun Entertainment in 2012, making their debut with the two-track single "Take Away." After experiencing multiple member changes, the group released their final single, "Blah Blah," in 2015 before officially disbanding in 2016.
2012: Debut and initial releases
The group made their first appearance on May 18, 2012, with the single "Take Away," which included two songs. Shortly after, on June 19, Minji departed due to an ankle injury and was succeeded by Seoyeon. Sunny Days participated in the release of "Glory Korea," a track supporting South Korean athletes during the 2012 Olympic Games, which came out on July 18. Their second promotional track, "Don't Touch Me," accompanied by their inaugural music video, was unveiled on July 26.
2013: Member additions and new singles
In 2013, Sunny Days returned with the single "I Must Be Crazy" on April 8, followed by "Meeting a Girl Like You" released on July 31. This timeframe saw the inclusion of new members Bichen and Gyuhee; notably, Bichen had previously won the KPop World Festival.
2014: Sub-unit launch and lineup adjustments
The subgroup Real Vocal was formed within Sunny Days, consisting of Sunkyung, Jihee, and Soohyun. They debuted with "With the Same Lips" on SBS's The Show on March 12. Later that year, the main group issued their fifth single, "I Don't Need You Boy," on July 31 as a quintet after Gyuhee and Bichen left. Jung Yoon joined during this period while Seoyeon took a hiatus due to health concerns. Bichen exited to focus on her solo career and subsequently won season three of The Voice of China. Additionally, Sunkyung lent her vocals to One Way Dandelion's OST song "Rain," released December 2, 2014.
2015: Major lineup shifts, guerrilla performances, comeback efforts, and disbandment
In 2015, several members—Jihee, Soojung, and Soohyun—chose not to renew their contracts and departed from the group, leaving Sunkyung as the only remaining original member alongside Jungyoon. Fans recognized three fresh faces joining Sunny Days: Heuira, Dayoung, and youngest member Dasom.
During this time, Sunny Days performed guerrilla shows in Sincheon together with Haeun Entertainment’s boy group Lose Control (LC), delivering both past hits and new dance covers. Some performances featured duets between Sunkyung and Heuira.
Although a comeback was planned for early 2015, it faced multiple postponements. By late September, members hinted at their return through Instagram posts and official Facebook updates confirmed these plans. On September 23, teaser images were released along with the single Blah Blah and its music video preview. Unfortunately, the comeback did not achieve significant commercial success, casting doubts on the group's continuation. Shortly afterward, an official announcement via email declared Sunny Days had disbanded.
