- Sunny and her two older sisters, Lee Eun-Kyu & Lee Jin-Kyu, all have the same birth date, May 15th, but were born in different years. The odds of this event occurring is 1 in 133225. (Ridiculous, eh?) ;D
- Her father was once the manager of the disbanded K-pop girl group Sugar. Her older sister is Ayumi's (Sugar's lead singer) manager.
- Sunny is a professional gamer fo sho. She cracked 999 lines on continuous mode Tetris on her Nintendo DS. (If you haven't tried it, go do so. It's insanely hard)
- SNSD reveals she showers the fastest. If you're looking for a girl that won't hog the shower, look no further!
- Sunny's incredibly flexible. She can do the limbo at 75 cm. With heels on.
- In the 2009 MBC Chuseok Special Sweet Girl episode, Sunny was voted the idol with the sexiest lips by other idol group members.
- She has a mole that resembles a heart on her tummy.
- She has a unique way of blinking, first the left eye then the right eye.

- Sunny appeared in Super Junior-H's music video for "Cooking? Cooking!".
- Sunny was a co-DJ on "Chunji" radio until 2008.
- She was a permanent member of the TV show "Star Golden Bell" until Girls' Generation started their "Oh!" promotions.
- She also co-hosted a music show called "The M" with SS501's Kim Hyung-Jun and 2AM's Seulong but had to say goodbye to the show due to her busy schedules. Her last appearance as an MC for the show was on April 4th, 2010.
- Sunny was the only original cast member of "Invincible Youth" to be re-cast for the second season.
- She was the voice of "Miranda", the female Koala in the 2012 animation movie "Koala Kid: Birth of a Hero" alongside Taemin of SHINee. It was her first attempt at voice acting.

- Sunny is the shortest member of SNSD.
- Sunny is in charge of aegyo (cutesy acts) in SNSD.
- She doesn’t really fond of her real name, Soon-kyu because it sounds old and outdated.
- The name Soon-kyu lives on through her participation in variety show ‘Invincible Youth’ wherein Sunny revealed her hard-working side as a farmer. Many viewers thought “Soonkyu” was a nickname given to fit her persona of hard-working country-side girl in the show, while in fact it’s her real name. She also gained the nickname “Chicken-catcher Soonkyu” thanks to her impressive ability to catch chicken.

- Sunny has a phobia to fireworks and loud sounds, probably because of the Gulf War experience she had.
- Sunny is an avid gamer.
- Sunny is a niece to SM Entertainment’s founder and former CEO, Lee Sooman.
- She’s the last to join SNSD and the one who received the shortest training in SM Ent; that was because she was trained in another company, owned by singer Wheesung, for five years but the company went bankrupt so Sunny auditioned to SM Entertainment instead.
- Sunny shares the same birthday with both of her older sisters.
