Jeon Somi Mentions Opinions on Her New Song "Suddenly"…"I'm Sure It's Catchy, But I'm Actually Worried About the Members" ("Jeonchamsi") [Yesterday TV]

This is a review article written after watching the broadcast.

[OSEN=Reporter Park Ha-young] On 'Omniscient Interfering View,' Jeon Somi shared her honest thoughts about the mixed reactions to 'Suddenly.'

In the MBC variety show 'Omniscient Interfering View' (hereinafter 'Omniscient View') aired on the 13th, behind-the-scenes footage of I.O.I's 10th anniversary concert was revealed.

That day, on the concert day, I.O.I received many congratulations as their new song 'Suddenly' rose to No. 1.

Song Eun-yi cautiously asked, "When the teaser for this song first came out, didn't people have mixed reactions? Since Somi participated in writing and composing it too, I thought you might have felt bad about that."

Jeon Somi said, "I thought I could either become a fan of this song or not, but one thing I was sure of was that it would be addictive. I was actually worried that when there were mixed reactions, the older sisters might be shaken by it." In response, Im Na-young said, "I was worried about you instead."

Kim Se-jeong recalled, "What I still remember is that when we first heard 'Suddenly,' it was the day we all got together for the first time to hold a meeting for the anniversary album. You said you had a song you wanted to play for us, and then you played exactly this song."

She continued, "We all sang along, saying it was so good. But it was Somi's solo song. At that time. We didn't know it would become our song, and we said it was so good." Jeon Somi added, "It was my way of trying to make my case," surprising everyone.

Then Kim Do-yeon revealed the behind-the-scenes story, saying, "This wasn't the title track. There was another song. But we suddenly switched to this one. Since it was chosen by the national producers, we thought it would be better to go with something more approachable, so we went with 'Suddenly.'" She added, "The staff chose it unanimously."

While getting her makeup done ahead of the main performance, Chungha drew attention by opening up about an issue with her optic nerve. When asked why, she explained, "They said it's not in great condition. They said my response is a bit slow and that I absorb a lot of light. I can get really dizzy all of a sudden."

When Song Eun-yi said, "That must be tiring on stage," Chungha admitted, "It can be. I end up making a grimace without even realizing it. So I tend to get misunderstood a lot."

The long-awaited concert began. Seeing I.O.I on stage for the first time in nine years since disbanding, not only the fans but even their first manager became emotional. The members watching in the studio also showed their overwhelming emotions.

I.O.I successfully wrapped up the concert, singing from their debut song 'Pick Me' all the way to the final number 'When the Cherry Blossoms Fall.' In a place filled with cheers and tears, the members held back their own tears and responded with smiles, moving everyone deeply.

Afterward, I.O.I's first manager told the members, after all the videos had ended, "I hope I can be your manager again next time. I want to keep seeing you healthy for a long, long time. Thank you," expressing sincere gratitude.

Meanwhile, I.O.I reunited for their 10th debut anniversary, nine years after disbanding, and released their title track 'Suddenly,' continuing to receive a lot of love to this day.
