Jeon Somi Returns in Style with New Single ‘EXTRA’
K-pop idol Jeon Somi made a head-turning return on July 10, lighting up the stage of Mnet’s M Countdown with the debut performance of her latest digital single, ‘EXTRA’.
A Song for the Overlooked
Before her performance, Somi shared insight into the song during an on-air interview. “‘EXTRA’ is about the emotions of someone who feels sidelined, like an extra in a movie. It captures my unique, stylish vibe,” she explained. Teasing the audience, she also demonstrated the track’s signature point choreography with the show’s MCs, building anticipation for her stage performance.
Cinematic Stage and Bold Fashion
True to form, Somi delivered a show-stopping stage. Dressed in a sleek all-leather ensemble of a top, pants, and boots, she embodied a chic yet edgy charm. The stage, designed to resemble a movie theater, further enhanced the song’s cinematic feel—transforming her performance into a complete visual experience.
‘EXTRA’: A Stylish Anthem for the Underdogs
The single ‘EXTRA’ is a dance track that reimagines moments of invisibility and emotional confusion with a cool, sensory twist. Using groovy beats and a new-disco sound, the song fuses addictive choruses with sleek melodies, highlighting Somi’s evolved musical style and emotional expression.
Striking Visuals and Musical Growth
Alongside the music itself, fans and critics alike have praised Somi’s bold styling and eye-catching visuals, particularly her music video for ‘EXTRA.’ The video quickly climbed to the No. 2 spot on YouTube’s daily music video chart, signaling the power of her revamped image and successful concept expansion. Having already made her mark as a ‘high-teen girl’ and ‘summer queen,’ Somi’s latest release adds new depth to her artistic journey.
Fan Events on the Horizon
Somi is set to promote ‘EXTRA’ actively in the coming weeks. She will also meet fans face-to-face during her upcoming ‘JEON SOMI 2025 FAN MEETING [CHAOS]’ tour, starting July 19 in Seoul, followed by stops in Tokyo and Osaka.
With this bold return, Jeon Somi not only reaffirms her presence in the K-pop scene but also opens a new chapter with artistic flair and confidence.
