Jeon Somi Hints at a Bolder Musical Shift in New Teaser
[CBC News] K-pop star Jeon Somi is turning heads with an enigmatic teaser video for her upcoming digital single, ‘EXTRA,’ set to release on July 7.
Barbie, But Not as You Know Her
On June 24, The Black Label released a short teaser video via official social media, giving fans a sneak peek into the new track. The video opens with a blonde Barbie doll, lifelessly sprawled across the floor. However, the usually cheerful image of Barbie is replaced with something eerier—her eyes erased, turning her into a blank, haunting figure.
The scene then shifts as her heart-shaped chest flips open, revealing a flashing warning symbol also shaped like a heart. The words ‘EXTRA – July 7’ appear on screen, bringing an intense, cinematic close to the brief but powerful clip. Somi’s departure from her usual bubbly and youthful image offers fans a glimpse into an intriguing, more mature concept.
A New Look, A New Sound?
Prior to the video release, teaser images also revealed Somi rocking a striking short haircut—a dramatic change that didn’t go unnoticed. Fans praised her bold transformation, noting a palpable shift from her signature playful vibe to a moodier, more sophisticated aura.
Fan Meeting Tour Adds to the Excitement
Adding to the buzz, Jeon Somi will kick off her 2025 fan meeting tour ‘CHAOS’ on July 19 in Seoul, followed by events in Tokyo and Osaka. With a jam-packed month ahead, fans are eagerly anticipating not only her live shows but also the message and emotion behind ‘EXTRA.’
What to Expect from ‘EXTRA’
Jeon Somi’s new digital single ‘EXTRA’ will be available across major music platforms on Monday, July 7 at 6:00 PM KST. Will this be the visual and sonic reinvention of Somi fans didn’t know they needed? All eyes are on her next move.
