Just months after former SM Entertainment trainee and Girls Planet 999 contestant Ahn Jeongmin confessed she was “too old” to debut, the young star has taken matters into her own hands and released a self-written solo debut.
Initially ranked one of the lowest contestants among the show’s Korean competitors, Jeongmin quickly rose up the ranks. By episode five, she was ranked 17th, and in episode eight, she reached rank no.13. Unfortunately, her rise wasn’t enough to keep her in the competition, and she sadly missed her chance at joining Kep1er in the second elimination round. However, fans of the show were convinced they’d see her make her debut in another girl group one day.
That’s why so many were shocked and dismayed back in March when Jeongmin crushed any rumours of her imminent debut. In a live broadcast with fans on Instagram, the aspiring singer sadly told fans she felt she was now “too old” to debut.
In the international age system, Jeongmin is just 18 years old. However, the star seemed to feel that she had no chance of being accepted into a girl group at her age, despite training for years already.
Thankfully, it looks like that hasn’t stopped her. Refusing to give up on her dreams, Jeongmin has now taken matters into her own hands with a self-written solo debut.
On June 24, Jeongmin made her long-awaited solo debut with “Rainy Day” under a new stage name, JEOMi. She appears to be signed to a small agency called exscape, with her music distributed by YG PLUS.
