Jeon Somi Stuns with New Era of Elegance on Stage
When it comes to evolution, Jeon Somi is always one step ahead. On the August 14th broadcast of Mnet’s ‘M Countdown’, the K-pop soloist mesmerized fans with her fierce and elegant live comeback of “CLOSER,” the title track from her freshly released EP Chaotic & Confused.
All Black. All Power.
Dressed in a sleek, black leather suit that screamed Girlboss Energy™, Somi delivered a performance that blended chic sophistication with commanding charisma. As fans dubbed her “unstoppable,” it was clear: this isn’t the fresh-faced rookie from ‘Produce 101’—this is Somi redefined.
‘CLOSER’: Elegant Vibes with an Addictive Twist
The track ‘CLOSER’ samples Sean Kingston’s hit “Beautiful Girl,” but reimagines it through the lens of stutter house—a sub-genre driven by cut-up vocals and rhythmic syncopation. The result? A seductive yet energizing soundscape, made complete by Somi’s sultry vocals and a theatrical buildup that explodes into a sea of synths and choreography.
From Extra to Extraordinary
This comeback wasn’t her only splashy move of the summer. Before dropping ‘CLOSER,’ Somi caught fans off guard by appearing as an actual extra on the variety show Mystical TV Surprise (yes, really). That glimpse of quirky promo added a fun twist to the serious glam of her music campaign.
She also teased the new track earlier at the ‘69th Miss Korea Competition’—a fitting platform given that ‘CLOSER’ is essentially one big ode to inner and outer beauty. Bold, fresh, and mesmerizing? Sounds like Jeon Somi in a nutshell.
What’s Next for Jeon Somi?
With more stages lined up and ‘CLOSER’ climbing the digital charts fast, Somi is expected to ride this comeback wave well into the season. Keep your eyes on her—because this queen isn’t stepping back anytime soon.
