hi welcome
so I recently saw some pre-debut photos of Itzy and those
photos included Somi and I wanted to talk a bit about that. I'm gonna stop you
right there to remind you to subscribe to this channel click the bell to be
notified you can also do little things here and there like liking my videos
commenting on my videos and sharing them if you feel so inclined to for those who
don't know so we used to be under JYP entertainment before it leaving to the
black label which is a sub-label of YG Entertainment oh we understand the
intentions of this video now don't we and the thing is she was apparently
going to debut with Itzy so I guess the big question surrounding this is
would she have suited Itzy's concept? would she have been a good addition to
Itzy? my personal opinion, I think a company has a vision and then they mold
people to that vision a good quality that an idol should have is the ability
to adapt to different situations and I think Somi no matter what would have
done very well in Itzy but I think the real question should be did she make the
right decision? but before we get into that I really want to talk about my
opinion on solo artists now don't get me wrong I definitely support quite a few
solo artists but I can't help but feel about a group dynamic is sometimes
better suited for k-pop given its extreme expectations, singing and dancing
an entire song on your own could be quite difficult and if the artist
doesn't have amazing stage presence there is the possibility of having quite
a few awkward pauses since there's really no other members to
switch the camera to every now and then and I think there are a lot of
advantages to being in a group and here's why! you can still do solo
activities even if you're in a group and that's what's really fun about being in
a group setting is that there are endless possibilities, you can have
different subunits you can go solo, but when your solo you're kind of restricted
in what you can do and what kind of formations you can do there's just more
that you can do with the group then you can do with a solo artist
have you guys seen that clip of Bom in queendom when she asks to be part of
Mamamoo? Inevitably when you're a solo artist you're alone and I can imagine it
could feel a bit isolating another advantage of being
in a group is that there are more personalities and therefore more chances
that you'll actually click with someone and lastly if you are dancing rigorously
it's more beneficial to be in a group so that you can get a break and I
personally think it would improve the overall performance, so this brings us
back to the big question should Somi have debuted with it see under JYP
entertainment? I just want to preface this by saying that I did appreciate Somi's
solo, birthday was very iconic "oops you're not invited yeah you're not
invited" that being said she is part of YG entertainment and I know you're gonna
say "but it's the Black Label" I think it's just YG trying something
new but at the end of the day it's still YG entertainment it's still yg style is
still yg flavor is still everything that makes up yg including apparently having
their artists disappear for quite a long time she made her debut and I haven't
seen her since and I feared that we probably won't see her for a very very
long time and if she makes a comeback tomorrow then I'm sorry for saying that
that just seems to be the trend with yg all the time
at least if she had debuted with Itzy we would get to see her more and I
personally think she could have brought a lot to the group, for one she speaks
English fluently and though this is definitely not a requirement it's for
sure an added bonus for k-pop groups these days. I would love to see more of
somi, I would love to see her shine but I fear that because of the entertainment
company she's under that might not be a possibility. also I asked you guys what
you thought of this situation so I'm gonna read some of your comments "Somi
would have been perfect for it see but I feel like Yuna was the better
Edition overall as she encapsulate the concept her young youthful looks, aegyo
strong stage presence is the epitome of teen crush concept that JYP
wants for Itzy" that's the thing right you wouldn't want to change Itzy the
way they are now but it's still interesting to think of what they could
have been like "I do feel like she shines more in a group but I don't think it's
these concept would have fit her style she seems to be doing good as a soloist"
fair enough "people keep saying she's more confident in a group
and I do agree but as a solo artist she has been improving a lot her debut may
not have been the best solo debut but she'll just keep growing from there" I
will add if yg lets her! some of you also commented that you'd like to see Itzy
as a six member group keeping both Somi and Yuna since Yuna was added to
the lineup after Somi's departure, that's another issue with girl groups if
they're an even number of members they tend to cover one another so that one of
them can be centered we see it with black pink who was allegedly supposed to
be a five-member girl group do we remember that scandal? I do! so I'm seeing
a lot of comments that say that Somi might have outshined a lot of the other
members because she was already famous I mean maybe at first maybe that's the
one focal point that everyone would have but I think that would have only helped
it see to be honest with you because just an example before b.a.p debuted
yong guk did a solo song with yo seob from beast which kind of made him the
most popular member made him the member that people could recognize the most
when b.a.p debuted and that only helped their debut so I kind of see where
you're going with this but I also think it would've helped them a lot that's
basically all I had to say leave your thoughts down in the comments below
