As Jeon So-mi leaves JYP Entertainment, interest in the next girl group to beat TWICE is also growing.
JYP Entertainment said on its official website on the 20th, "JYP Entertainment has agreed to terminate its exclusive contract under the consultation with its artist, Somi." "I sincerely thank The Artist and fans who have been together so far," he said.
As a result, Jeon So-mi left JYP Entertainment, which had been in the company for about four years, and found a new nest. Jeon So-mi announced his face through Mnet 'Sixteen' which was broadcast in 2015. Sixteen is a program to select a new girl group for JYP Entertainment, which made TWICE debut.
Since then, Jeon So-mi has challenged Survival once again: he appeared on Mnet 'Produce 101' in 2016 and has been a center for project girl group I.O.I based on his outstanding skills. After the I.O.I was officially dismantled, he appeared in the entertainment program Slam Dunk of his sisters and showed off his extraordinary talent.
Among the song officials, Jeon So-mi was expected to be a member of the next girl group connecting TWICE. However, as Jeon So-mi terminated his exclusive contract with JYP Entertainment, joining the next girl group has been canceled.
“The next girl group is well prepared,” said a JYP Entertainment official on the 20th, adding that “the new member, Ryu Jin, who was the number one player in JTBC’s Mix Nine, is a major member.” Shin Ryu Jin took a snow stamp on the public with his outstanding skills at the time of his appearance on Mix Nine, and he also appeared in the BTS' LOVE YOURSELF Highlight Reel teaser last August, attracting attention.
Jeon So-mi breaks up with JYP Entertainment and wonders what kind of girl group will be composed of TWICE. In addition, it is noteworthy that Jeon So-mi, who has been recognized for his stardom, will nest in any agency.
