Jeon Somi opens up about secret friendship with NMIXX’s Lily: 'Couldn't believe how much she changed'

As a part of her promotions for her latest single ‘Extra’, Jeon Somi starred on a popular variety show to talk about her career and new music.

Somi recently starred alongside K-pop girl group NMIXX on a popular variety show titled ‘L1VE WIRE’. During the show, she spotted Lily and ended up getting excited. She explained how the two had been friends for a long time and that at one point in their career, they both even trained together.

Somi even ended up getting emotional, recalling the last time she bumped into her friend saying, "I ran into Lily at a university festival a while ago, and I couldn't believe how much she had changed. I really wanted to see her again, so I personally chose to invite NMIXX on this episode”.

Even Lily ended up getting emotional over the meetup and shared, "I listen to Somi's music a lot, and I've been so curious about how she's doing these days. I really missed her”.

Somi talks about working as a soloist

During the show, the ‘Extra’ singer even mentioned how working as a solo artist can sometimes get lonely for her, as she does not have any fellow members to rely on. While joking about the situation, she even mentioned getting ‘jealous’ of Lily and NMIXX’s bond and friendship.

Somi then expressed her wish to join the group briefly to put out a performance! The girl group ended up teaching the soloist a part of their latest song ‘DASH’, and they even performed a short segment together as well! Commenting on the performance, the former I.O.I member shared, "It was such a short moment, but it was thrilling. I've always wanted to grow closer with the NMIXX members, especially Lily, so I'm glad I finally got the chance”.
