Somi Confessed That She Cried While Watching Other I.O.I Members Debut

[Astro]

Jeon Somi appeared on Idol Room, where she talked about her long-awaited debut with “BIRTHDAY”. The hosts asked her how she felt about being the last I.O.I member to officially debut after the project group disbanded in 2017.

She confessed that she went through a difficult time watching the rest of the members debut while her own debut was yet to be announced. She even cried from the emotional stress.

“I did cry, to be honest. But I pulled through it.”
— Somi

But even still, she was happy to see her I.O.I members promoting their own music and cheered each of them on for every promotion!

“Everyone was actively promoting but all I could do was cheer them on.”
— Somi

And she personally did her best to stay in touch with the fans through social media.

But now that Somi’s made her official debut, the I.O.I members all showered her with love and support since the very first teaser!

“Every one of them contacted me.
When my first teaser image dropped, they uploaded it onto our group chat and messaged things like, ‘You’re so pretty’, ‘You’re finally debuting’, and ‘Do well’.”
— Somi

Ah fuck now I feel even more bad for her.
Yeah Somi you did pull through and your song is amazing!

 

[emily]

ALL of them hit her up

 

[JNT-LEGGO]

I get that. It's like watching all your old classmates getting jobs and getting to travel and you're just kinda stuck.

Glad she finally got to take the next step in her career.

Jyp did dirty to her.

It must have been hard, I'm so glad she was finally able to debut and anticipate her future releases

Well, she was the youngest in the group, over a year younger than the second youngest, and over 5 years younger than the oldest - she was 15 when she debuted in IOI. I guess JYPE felt that she was too young to debut at that point. There was no GG debuting in JYPE and that time since Twice debuted a few months earlier post-Sixteen, and they weren't going to debut her solo. She still had activities of her own though, but I guess it wasn't what she wanted.

Her dad did dirty to her.

Solo artist makes more money, so she is lucky to join YG BlackLabel

I'm sure it was difficult..i would be distressed in her place and not so confident. But well done can't wait for her to come back !
