In July 2003, The S started promotions with promo version of The First Album. During a performance on Music Bank in August 2003, Yoonmi's top fell off and exposed her left breast in front of about 20,000 people. Yoonmi continued to perform for about a minute before she noticed and hurriedly pulled her top up.
As the recording was not live, the show was able to edit out the accident and replaced it with scenes of the duo playing at a beach before it aired. After this incident, Lee Yoonmi felt doubtful about her singing career and her parents also strongly opposed it. After much deliberation, Lee Yoonmi decided to leave The S in October 2003 and give up her singing career to become an actress.
With this, We Entertainment considered replacing her with a new member but ended up disbanding the duo altogether. Following The S' disbandment, the members went their separate ways: - Yoonmi became active as an actress. - She married singer and composer Joo Younghoon on October 28, 2006.
They have three daughters - Joo Ara (born in 2010), Joo Rael (born in 2015) and Ellie (born in 2019). - On April 10, 2009, she returned to the music industry after six years with the release of the OST "잘가요 언덕 (엄마별 아래)" for the novel of the same name. - Geunyoung became a sub MC for iTV's Park Cheol's Entertainment Road Show.
She appeared to have quit the entertainment industry as she never appeared in the media again, now assumed to live a life away from fame.
