On August 18, the YouTube channel Sangsu-dong Studio uploaded a video titled, “From Somi’s G-Wagen to Beauty Brand CEO – Talking About Everything Beyond Music”.
In the video, artist Ahn Yong-jin recalled, “*I.O.I and I first connected on SNL, but I actually first saw Jeon So-mi six months ago while waiting at a traffic light in Donggyo-dong. A G-Wagen drove by, and she was behind the wheel—it surprised me.*”
Responding to this, Jeon Somi explained, “I get reports like this quite often. When I drive with the windows down, people think, ‘Oh, it’s Jeon So-mi.’ But I’m just enjoying the weather that day. I roll down the windows, wear sunglasses, and don’t bother with my hair—completely messy—and somehow, that seems to give people the impression it’s me.”
She added, “Even producers from my company sometimes say, ‘Somi, I saw you just now in Yongsan or Itaewon,’” sharing the story with humor.
Jeon So-mi first showcased her car through her agency, The Black Label, in 2021. At that time, she affectionately referred to it as “Bboong-bboong,” saying she wanted to give it a wash since she had neglected it. The vehicle is a Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG, commonly known as a G-Wagen, with an estimated value of around 400 million KRW.
