Jeon Somi

**Jeon Somi** (전소미) is currently a solo artist under The Black Label. She ranked #1 on the finale of *Produce 101 Season 1* and thus made it into the final lineup of I.O.I.

## Career & History

Before Sixteen, she had a youtube channel named enniksomi.

Somi was born to a Dutch-Canadian father, Matthew Douma, and a Korean mother, Jeon Sunhee, in Canada. She has a younger sister named Evelyn Douma.

In 2015, she joined the JYP Entertainment survival show *Sixteen*, which created the girl group Twice. She made it to the finale but did not make the final cut.

In May 2016, Somi debuted in I.O.I with the other top 10 trainees from *Produce 101*. As the #1 contestant, she was the center of I.O.I. After their promotions, Somi returned to JYP to continue training for an official debut.

In January of 2017, she joined the second season of *Sister's Slam Dunk* as the youngest member of Unnies. She was a member of this temporary girl group until the final episode in May, 2017.

In late March of 2017, Somi was cast in the show *Idol Drama Operation Team* where the cast formed a project girl group called Girls Next Door and filmed a feature film.

In late August of 2018, Somi terminated her contract with JYP Entertainment. The company said they came to a mutual agreement and that Somi would be leaving JYP.

In late September of 2018, it was confirmed that Somi signed an exclusive contract with The Black Label (a sub label of YG Entertainment that houses artists like Zion.T).

She debuted on June 13, 2019, with her single and title track "BIRTHDAY" and is continuing to promote solo artist.

After over a year since her debut in 2019, Somi finally announced that she would be making a solo comeback on July 22, 2020 with the single "What You Waiting For".

In late July, 2020, it was announced that Somi had signed on with Interscope Records to assumingly prepare for more international releases and activities. Interscope houses BlackPink's international activities as well.
