Somi celebrated the release with a star-studded listening party. A clip of her dancing to the new song went viral, with netizens criticizing the party as “boring” due to the calm crowd.

Fans jumped to Somi and her party-goers’ defense. They pointed out that K-Pop idols are criticized for everything, from drinking and partying to smoking, etc.
if they were actually partying, do you think they’d film and post? bfr. they’d be cancelled in kr so damn fast.

Then the queen herself, Somi, responded to a netizen that called out the party-goers for not dancing with her. Somi explained that “they made room.”
Oh honey they made room

Somi has further proved just how lit her party really was by revealing some of the celebrity guests.
After the party, fellow K-Pop solo artist HyunA shared a now-viral video of her and Somi kissing along with a cute selfie. HyunA captioned it, “Congrats, Somi! Eat well and show them everything you put together so diligently!”
