    • @GriffinChaeng
      @GriffinChaeng  7 років тому +269

      Right, seeing as her dad is canadian/dutch, they speak english at home. She doesn't write super well in english, since she moved to korea when she was one year old

    • @GriffinChaeng

    The more Somi related stuff I watch, the more I become a fan.
    I just wonder if she will re-debut as a solo singer or in a group..

    • @GriffinChaeng
      @GriffinChaeng  7 років тому +85

      Somi already has a contract under JYP as a solo artist. I think that since she's in high school, she won't be releasing music as often as other solo artists for a while, but will continue her activities

    • @mariazippy233
      @mariazippy233 7 років тому +24

      I can definitely relate to this! I wasn't into i.o.i until I watched unnies slamdunk season 2 and after that i tried to discover somi more. She's very adorable and energetic. I can definitely see she'll be doing well. Kind of worried about what she'll offer as a solo artist but I'm excited.

    • @dana_grdp2136
      @dana_grdp2136 7 років тому +10

      Somi will probably continue on making duets like the one she did with Eric Nam.She's also in the cast of Unnie's Slam Dunk Season 2 and she'll play in a drama with Red Velvet's Seulgi (my bias ♥) and I'm so excited!!!!

    seeing somi speaking a second language with her dad is so cute. It makes me miss my dad a lot because we spoke a second language together. sadly he passed away two years ago :'(

  • @themusicianme8747
    @themusicianme8747 7 років тому +1423

    This applies to all cases. The reason why I love watching Korean artists/celebrities speaking in english is because of the entertainment value of korean shows. mixed with english language (the only foreign language I can understand fully) is heaven to me. And ofcourse somi. She is really fit to do variety shows. her reactions are awesome and she's so animated..

    • @형이핸디
      @형이핸디 7 років тому +43

      The Musician Me If you''ve watched Sister Slamdunk's Episode where the whole group tried the Personality Test (first time for the new members, second time for Jinkyung and Sook.) Somi got 0 introversion and 21 on extroversion. Which means, she's very outgoing and fun to be with. She's useful for variety, business and filling the empty atmosphere. She's basically South Korea's little sister, according to Minzy ;;

    For people saying that Somi speaks English a lot, I would like to say that I made this video a while back, during a time when Somi didn't have many appearances on tv, and because her members were korean, she didn't speak english very often. Nowadays it seems Somi speaks english much more than before!

      @@benandterrys haha I made this video before all the sixteen clips were taken down. For several clips in my videos there were no eng subs so at the time I used the very basic and honestly not so good youtube editing studios to add subtitles for those who don't speak korean! Most clips with awkward looking subs was me adding them for intl fans ^_^

    • @hazimsone
      @hazimsone 7 років тому +9

      if u watch happy together (she guested with her dad) she tries very hard to adapt to korean society esp during her primary school. she coloured her hair dark (u can see her dad had a lighter hair) bcuz she doesnt want to be the odd one in the class. so i guess she rarely speak english bcuz of this issue. unless in a comfort her family/private conversation she speak english. compared to amber, tiffany they embrace their background n culture and proud of it. probably they're matured enough so they have no problem showcasing their english proficiency

    i really like how douma raise somi like a son. he has a good reasons why he raise somi that way. because entertainment world pretty harsh and quite hard. so he told somi if she want to be an idol/singer she must do with his way. he trying to push somi to the limit and make her even stronger so if someday she failed again (like when she's in sixteen it's kinda sad for douma to see his daughter didnt make it) she know how to handle it.
    and i can see how good she is now.
    im looking forward to somi next project. solois? or group ?

      She speaks English much more now! I think in the beginning, she wanted to be as "Korean" as possible, because when she was introduced to the public, mixed race idols were not a thing, and she didn't want people to think of her as a foreigner when she was raised in Korea, and is half Korean. She didn't speak English very often at all.
