somi is having a ROUGH time (1 Viewer)

[inverity]

First she debuts in the wake of YG's greatest scandal

her debut could have been better:
-the song was...polarizing, to say the least. I wasn't a fan of it besides the "oops, you're not invited" part
-and her first performance she seemed nervous

and she couldn't sing for her showcase (????)

she would have been better under JYP in my opinion. her concept would make more sense. and she'd be more stable. I'm not quite sure why she left.

the good news is that she's popular and pretty. it's a shame that her stage presence and general confidence seems to be less than it used to be

idk I really like the song but I agree about the timing and that I think, personally, that she fits better under JYP...
But let's see? Maybe she will be successful! About her presence on stage I guess it will gets better in time... It's her official debut maybe she is feeling nervous for now or something.
I think the song is so cool

You'd think the Black Label would be more organized than YGE
I really don't understand how they kept delaying her solo but still didn't have a choreography ready

I understand her reasoning for leaving JYP but Teddy needs to get it together

Although every soloist that's come from a group has been pretty nervous. Give her some time, people have been dragging her since she left JYP so I understand her feeling extremely pressured. She's only 18

in short, what was her reasoning for leaving?

it might have to grow on me...i'm honestly not patient enough for that though

Either she got kicked out
or she just did not want to be in itzy
or jyp did not want her in itzy

Creative Control is the main reason she listed
Wanting to be solo probably played a big part in it

Either she got kicked out

Honestly, the first one makes sense since JYP just so happened to make a statement claiming that all trainee's who violate the rules get kicked RIGHT after she left.

if she wanted creative control then she gets zero pass for the showcase. Its all on her.

i looked it up and it mentioned that she was one of the composers of the song
i honestly don't think anyone should be in charge of composing their debut song...i understand that she would want creative control but i think that should come with experience as an idol, not straight out unless you are clearly prodigious

 

[inverity]

or she just did not want to be in itzy

to be fair, she's only listed as like 5th composer for the song
i think it's an imaging issue-YG does girl crush and sexy and she's not at the point to do either of those well
and her as a person-she would actually stand out and be more impressive in a group

 

[Hajima]

her charisma and stage presence is down the toilet... she can't sing that well either.. her being a solo artist makes 0 sense.

I don't see why not
It's the concept she chose and what she wanted
It's charting decently so it isn't a huge loss

Partially
Choreography, stage set and not canceling or postponing it falls on the agency as well

I mean she's been in like 2-3 different groups, was basically a queen of variety at one point, and was on course to become a CF queen as well. She's gotten a lot of experience under her belt and is by no means a rookie anymore.

She's been out of the game because she was put in JYP's dungeon and then switched companies but I don't think that does away with the stuff she did before.

i adore somi but the song is mediocre and her performances have been really low energy not to mention the mess surrounding yg

i hope better for her in the future

but clearly from this song it proves my point. if she's not a rookie then this looks even worse

Just flip this and say she went solo and her dad was running the agency. They would be getting much more flack. That a real agency was that jacked up after repeated postponing. Says nothing good about all involved and i think it worse than if her family was running it.

 

[Mayday]

Yeah, I agree. She did a lot better in this fancam.



Though, personally, I find the "bad girl" concept not really her style? I guess she'll grow into it though. I'm not a fan of her, but I definetely don't have anything against her, and the song is really catchy. The choreography was underwhelming, and I wish her and her company managed this debut better.

I think that's unfair. Creative control means on her music, not choreography. She still has to learn that from someone else so it's still on her company.
