You know, Jeon Somi is highly active in the Korean entertainment world these days. She has recently received a great deal of attention as a member of Unnies of "Sister's Slam Dunk Season 2", while she will make an appearance in "Idol Drama Operation Team" to be aired from May 29. She's now one of the most sought-after young female idols in the Korean entertainment world, while there are so many fans who love the pretty girl. By the way, isn't it strange that Somi didn't make an official debut yet? It has been more than a year since she became the winner of "PRODUCE 101", and most of the other I.O.I members have already made an official debut.

On February 7, the graduation ceremony of SOPA (School of Performing Arts Seoul) was held in Seoul. You know, the school has turned out a lot of k-pop idol stars such as Suzy, Naeun and Sulli, while their juniors, BTS' Jungkook, GFriend's SinB and Umji, WJSN's Eunseo, CLC's Yeeun and more attended this year's graduation ceremony.

By apppearing in "Produce 101" and being active as a member of I.O.I, Somi received great public attention. The talented 15-year old idol's joining TWICE will give a boost to the girl group. Furthermore, Somi, who has been trained in JYP with the TWICE members and appeared in "SIXTEEN" as a potential member of the team has a very close relationship with the members. TWICE has been on a roll since its debut, while the girl group has already become one of the hottest kpop idol groups. In this situation, it can't be said that the girl group really needs Somi. Another problem is that there could be  a firestorm of criticism if JYP lets Somi join TWICE because she's been already eliminated from the competition among the potential members of TWICE more than a year ago.
