Why somi is undeniably an it girl and more successful than you
Somi is a Canadian-Korean singer. She was a contestant on surival shows "Sixteen (2015)" & "Produce 101 (2016)." She is a former member of ioi and was the groups center and maknae. She debuted as a solo artist June 13 with single birthday
Somi was first introduced to the gp through the surival show twice (2016.) She instantly became a fan favorite with her energetic performances and spunk. Although she made it to the shows finale she ultimately did not debut due to her young age.
A year later Somi would return to the limelight through yet another survival show, Produce 101. She became even more beloved by the public then before.She was classed into the a class then later the b class.
Somi would partake in many amazing perfomances most notably "Bang Bang" where she performed one of the killing parts lipsyncing to the high note in the chorus. 4 years later it is still regarded as the best performance throughout all seasons of the show
In the finale Somi not only made it into the debut group but also garnered the most votes becoming the center of ioi
May 4th of 2016 ioi would finally make their debut with the song " Dream Girls." Somi would debut as the groups center, lead dancer, lead vocalist and makane all at the age of 14
Months later on August 9 2016 iois seven member unit would debut with somi as one of its members. The units debut song was "Whatta Man" which sampled the salt n pepa song. The song would garner the groups first win and an additional 3 afterwards
October 17 2016 ioi released their mini album "miss me?" alongside title track very very very which become the groups greatest hit. The song earned the group their first OT11 win and a total of 3 wins
ioi became a household name and won many rookie of the year awards competing against group blackpink which would later become a world wide sensation. The group won roty at the golden disk awards, Seoul music awards aswell as at the prestigious mama awards
ioi released downpour on January 17 2017. It was a ballad track composed by seventeens woozi. It was the groups last track before their disbandment on January 22 at their concert time slip. The song garnered one music show win
After iois disbandment somi had serveral solo promotions including her collaboration with eric nam "you, who? As well as her participation in project groups "Unnies" and "Girls Next Door" alongside their respective variety shows
Time had passed and somi had still not debuted. On July 20th of 2018 Somi officially left Jyp. On September of the same year she announced her new contract with the black label
On June 13 2019 Somi debuted as a solo artist with ep Birthday with the title track of the same name. Somi participated in the lyric writing on both of the tracks on the ep
More than a year later Somi would drop her second single what you waiting for. Again she participated in the creation of the track. On August 6th the song won first place on mcountdown marking her first ever solo win
Somi is unfairly painted by anti fans. Many people claim shes overrated and a flop comparing her to senior and ex group mate chungha. While both artists are simply amazing somi was been a solo artist for less time chungha understandably having less commercial success then her
A friendly reminder that somi got her win a year and a half after her debut while chungha had hers at over 2 years over her debut. Both girls are doing amazingly and its unfair to paint somi as less successful as both are doing amazing and working at their own paces!
End of thread!
