Jeon Somi Makes a Bold Return with ‘EXTRA’
K-pop star Jeon Somi is back with a fresh and mesmerizing sound in her new digital single ‘EXTRA’. Released by The Black Label on its SNS channels on June 7, the track marks her bold shift to a more mature and sophisticated artistry, following last summer’s playful hit ‘Ice Cream’.
‘EXTRA’: Finding the Spotlight Beyond the Sidelines
The single ‘EXTRA’ delves into the emotional complexity of feeling sidelined and overlooked—like a nameless background character in a film. With sleek new disco instrumentation, sensual grooves, and an addictive chorus, Somi explores the chaos and contradictions of these silent moments with a cool, artistic touch. It’s a stylish reinvention that signals the beginning of a new chapter for the singer.
Music Video Adds Visual Depth to Somi’s Narrative
The music video for ‘EXTRA’ adds vivid storytelling elements to Somi’s narrative. It features masked dancers stripped of identity and shows Somi breaking away from this conforming crowd. Distressed outfits, mannequins sprawled across the floor, and emergency symbols like stretchers and fire extinguishers underscore themes of erasure and vulnerability. Fans have praised Somi’s impressive acting range and visual transformation, calling the MV both haunting and beautiful.
A Striking Change in Mood and Image
By blending a dazzlingly bright and somber atmosphere, ‘EXTRA’ effectively unveils a different side of Somi—one that’s more daring, layered, and emotionally raw. The song’s aesthetics and sonic direction highlight her evolving identity as an artist willing to take risks.
Upcoming Fan Events Set the Stage for More Chaos
Following the release of ‘EXTRA’, Jeon Somi will embark on a series of fan meet-ups. Starting with a Seoul performance on October 19, she will go on to meet fans in both Tokyo and Osaka under the banner of ‘JEON SOMI 2025 FAN MEETING [CHAOS]’. With new music and in-person events, Somi is set to connect deeply with her global fanbase once more.
