A post on the online community Pann titled “Didn’t Jeon Somi do a really good job going to YG?” praising the idol’s decision to move to The Black Label under YG Entertainment from JYP Entertainment has been gaining attention.
The original poster wrote:
“Birthday,” “What You Waiting For,” “XOXO,” all Somi’s songs have good quality, clear concepts, and “Dumb Dumb” is somewhat of a hit. Honestly, I don’t understand people who always pity Somi for moving to YG and not being pushed. In my opinion, compared to what JYP did for artists like Baek A Yeon and Park Jimin (Jamie), YG is doing a much better job for Somi. Above all, I think Teddy really cherishes Somi.
Under this post, other netizens left comments:
- Somi had recognition because she was pushed by JYP first. How could a trainee go to Teddy?
- No matter how much time has passed, Teddy’s quality is still top-notch.
- If Somi had debuted with ITZY, she might have given up on solo gigs, but her popularity and recognition would have been even better. It’s a pity that under YG, she took a two-year break without releasing new music, and her popularity has decreased.
- I always anticipate Somi’s song concepts. Seriously, her star quality is undeniable.
