From debut to now
- 2007Began as a mixed-gender vocal group, starting out around Janghyun, Jubi and Bitna.
- 2011After Kota and Misung joined, a circus-flavoured world and heavy narrative music videos showed the experimental side of Sunny Hill strongly.
- 2012Satirical songs and aching vocal songs alike held the experiment and the singing side by side.
- 2014After Janghyun left they continued as a female group, and Monday Blues and Once in Summer built the route through the middle period.
- 2015Part B, carrying Here I Am, sorted out the singing and the pop of the female-group period further.
- 2019After Eunjoo and Geonhee joined they kept the name, leaving a route for a long-running group to be rediscovered.

KPOP DISCOVER's Sunny Hill note
Sunny Hill debuted on September 20, 2007 as a mixed-gender group centred on Janghyun, Jubi and Bitna. Kota and Misung joined later, widening the voices and the colours further. After Janghyun left, the work continued as a female group, and in 2019 a new line-up welcoming Eunjoo and Geonhee released Nom Nom Nom. This is a group that changed shape over many years while keeping its name.
Choosing an entrance, the core is Midnight Circus, The Grasshopper Song and Goodbye To Romance. Midnight Circus has a dark, carefully built circus world with a pull unusual for K-pop. The Grasshopper Song weaves social satire into a fable, a rare song that holds concept and humour together. Goodbye To Romance is where you first meet the other axis, a Sunny Hill of aching, unguarded vocals.
After Janghyun left in 2014, Monday Blues from the female-group period opened a new way of listening. Here I Am in 2015 balances pop and singing and reflects the middle-period Sunny Hill well. Knowing the run through to Nom Nom Nom in 2019 shows how far one group can keep changing. Midnight Circus, then The Grasshopper Song, then Goodbye To Romance covers the unusual world, the satirical pop and the aching vocals.
Editors' take Midnight Circus / The Grasshopper Song / Goodbye To Romance — three songs cover experiment, satire and aching vocals in a former mixed-gender group from Nega Network.
Trivia worth knowing
Line-up
Sunny Hill started as a mixed-gender act, and after Janghyun left the public image settled into that of a female group.
Name
The name sounds bright, yet Midnight Circus and Pray show how much darkness and storytelling the music actually carries.
Fandom
Hiller reads as the people gathered on that hill, which makes the fandom name easy to remember.
Entry point
Played in order, Midnight Circus, The Grasshopper Song and Goodbye To Romance lay out both the experimental streak and the singing.
Later years
NomNomNom belongs to the later line-up, and keeping it apart from the early and middle years makes its place much clearer.
Comparison
Lined up with Brown Eyed Girls, Davichi and The SeeYa, the balance between experiment and pure vocal work stands out.
