Somi shared about her closest friends in showbiz but accidentally caused controversy.
Somi‘s recent sharing on the show Turkids On The Block to promote the full album XOXO has sparked controversy.
Everyone knows that Somi has a good relationship with many celebrities, which can be clearly seen through her SNS. But when choosing her close friends in showbiz, Somi did not hesitate to answer: “I’m closest to TWICE. Up to now, they still treat me very well.” “I don’t have many friends. People often think that I’m close to many people in showbiz, but that’s not true. I also want to find friends.” – Somi added.
The female idol admitted that she is not as close to many Kpop idols as many people think. Only her friends during the trainee time, such as TWICE, are close to her in showbiz.
However, this statement infuriated many netizens because Somi and BLACKPINK members had repeatedly demonstrated their close relationship as sisters, especially after Somi officially joined The Black Label – the company founded by Teddy, BLACKPINK‘s main producer.
BLACKPINK has repeatedly expressed their support for Somi’s new products, even visiting the studio to cheer on her. But when it comes to her closest colleagues, Somi always chooses TWICE. Therefore, many fans of BLACKPINK were disappointed with Somi.
However, Somi has not been supported by TWICE fans. Many people are still not satisfied because she unfollowed the members of TWICE after leaving JYP.
The most contentious incident occurred when Somi shared a screenshot of Jennie‘s SOLO in the first place and TWICE‘s Yes or Yes in second place on the chart. Many fans thought that Somi was flattering Jennie and mocking TWICE through the photo. Thus, until now TWICE’s fans still believe that she is not sincere with TWICE because of her previous actions.
