Somi is facing backlash over her latest career move, sparking heated debate among netizens.
The controversy began when Somi’s official X announced a new digital single titled EXTRA, set for release on July 7, 2025.
Fans expected excitement, but many quickly turned critical. Netizens slammed THE BLACK LABEL for mismanaging Somi’s career, pointing out that after such a long wait, fans only got a digital single.
Many argued she deserved much more success and spotlight, blaming the label for holding her back.

The frustration comes after a year of complaints about THE BLACK LABEL’s handling of Somi. Previously, Somi responded to a now-deleted TikTok comment urging her to leave the label, which inflamed the debate.
