So I wanna give my general thoughts and will try to keep it short.
I actually really liked it. About the title track, initially when I heard it ( I couldn't wait for the MV sorry) I was in shock because it finally hit me that she had debuted, and it was real. So I was just in a bubble of happiness. And then when I heard Outta My Head ( And feel in love with it ), I was like whoever had the idea to let her debut with these 2 very different tracks is a genius. It's like Birthday is a representation of that energetic Somi we all know of, infused with the TBL flavor ( which she actually addressed on her Showcase when she said they decided to go for a song that reminded people of that "old" Somi - and since that was my reaction I guess it worked) while Outta My Head to me shows Somi's growth as an artist and vocalist. And to me that was a great combo.
*BTW Birthday is a great song to blast on your car radio.
When I saw the MV, my first reaction was to think that we were all fooled since the MV ended up receiving a lot more investment that what I think we all thought they were going for. Which I'm glad they did and its only smart to do so given her popularity.
I was from the very beginning worried with the live performances because the song is very fast paced and there is not a lot of breathing room for someone that is also going to dance to it, so you need to be smart with the lines you will sing live and the ones you can leave for the backing track. On her second performance she's already started adjusting these moments. So to me that shows that we should probably expect her to refine more and more her performances as she goes on and as the nerves go away.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT HER GOING TO M!COUNTDOWN
When I heard about it I was like only Somi to be the exception between the Mnet and YG beef. And since she's Mnet's daughter of course she will promote there.
NOW ABOUT THE FUTURE: Let's talk comebacks, because I'm pretty sure she will have one before the year ends.
*Did anyone catch when she said on her showcase that she recorded a lot of songs but that they decided for Birthday for the reasons I talked before.

It should've been obvious to us that she was going to come up with a 'vitasom' song like this but it came as a surprise because we thought TBL would influence her to change her style. It was pretty clever of them to debut with this image first. Like Somi said, to remind the majority of the public of 'vitasom' a lot of them recognize and it worked!
I'm sure Somi and TBL will be eager to do another comeback as soon as the promotions for Birthday ends but I'm predicting that it might be at the start of 2020 or maybe late November/December this year since they've had lots of criticism for her debut feeling rushed. And if Somi were to appear in lots of variety shows from then on then it wouldn't be such a bad idea for them to really take their time before the next comeback. As long as it doesn't take a year or more then I'm fine with it. Who knows, maybe even in 3 months? If they decide to release the songs they pre-recorded. Either way I don't think TBL (hopefully) or Somi would allow herself to be inactive for months anymore after what she's been through. I'm expecting lots of appearances and of course interactions with us Sommungchis from now on~~ *blissful face*
I've had Outta My Head on repeat for the past couple of days, it's such a good song!
Birthday is really good as well, I actually liked it from the first listen. The drop was a little surprising but tbh it's such a fun song I can't not like it!

So glad to see all of you here ♥
I missed our community everytime Oh! was down. It is just not the same on twitter and other places.
I feel that all of us here and on the Somi thread on Oh!, are more respectful and mature than certain stans in other platforms. We all cherish, love and support Somi yet are not afraid of voicing out our opinions. I also appreciate that we dont fall for the trolling and dont attack other groups despite the taunting and legit hating of some people/fandoms. It is so much more enjoyable to me to be able to fangirl in a healthy space like this, so thank you! I really appreciate all of you here and enjoy reading your inputs
Love how Somi seems to enjoy watching the reactions to the drop that many people hate lol
Guess she loves it. I wonder if she had anything to do with that part, as she is credited as a composer too

1st episode of the Dingo reality show, I really love this format, you get to see a side of Somi you don't see everyday, and I appreciate that!
Also this :'D
Also this :'D
Looks like she was having a lot of fun, also love when Somi smiles while performing!
I very much prefer that simple jeans + white t-shirt outfit than her last inki costume. She doesnt need much to look pretty and stand out! And no bangs >>>>>

I was surprised to see Sebin in the video. When Somi called "Sebin" I was like "I only know one Sebin, it's really that one ?". Indeed, same age, both idol, I'm glad they are close
Somi having fun, smiling, what else ?

I like all the groups she was in

We stan a queen who debuted FOUR FUCKING TIMES now, wow!
New here!
I'm very happy that Somi finally debuted. It wasn't perfect but now it will only get better. She was nervous AF, not only it is a debut stage, there was all the waiting and drama changing agency. If it wasn't enough, then all the mess involving her label's parenting company... But give her a couple of stages and she'll slay.
I want to slap the management for a lot of things, her styling, the choreo, the non-performance showcase... But I'm happy that she is back and I'll enjoy this debut to the fullest I can.

YES ! Also loved the insight of TBL and how it works, I have to agree with something I read on twitter that Somi is like a ray of sunshine for TBL. Loved seeing her relationship with the producer and also how Outta My Head was made. Teddy seems exactly like the supportive person Minzy said he was.
Not wanting to bring YG here but Teddy just seems very different from him when it comes to female idols. No wonder 2ne1 and BP have a strong bond with him.
i love this dingo show so much. some people should see that she is not a arrogant or rude person as they think of but a kid who runs down the stairs while saying "ROLOLOROROLOLO" and is loved by every single person around her.
I have to say that as a huge fan of T-ara for a long time, seeing Somi dance to Bo Peep Bo Peep made my day!
Also love how shy she got when dancing to Chungha's Gotta Go lol her face trying to hold in her smile, it was cute
I'm crying there is so much content just when I have so much work to do and no time to check on everything. Still need to watch her dingo show
SHE LOOKS SO GOOD! She also did so well in those radio idol performances ahhh cannot contain my excitement
Look at her
Can they for god's sake burn those stage outfits and let her perfrom in a simple tshirt and jeans

Teaser
This is the best new show on Mnet. I watched all episodes of the previous season, even before we knew that Somi would be a guest in season 2. I's fun.
I was sad when rumors about the guests came up. I wondered, why they didn't invite Eunbin, but here she is spilling the tea :hearteu:
