K-pop singer Jeon Somi to treat her fans with a brand new album after almost two years

After a wait that seemed never-ending to some, Jeon Somi's comeback has been officially confirmed with the announcement of her new EP (Extended Play, bigger than a mini-album but smaller than a full-length album), Game Plan. The news came nearly two months after her agency, The Black Label, a subsidiary of YG Entertainment, confirmed that the singer was preparing to make a comeback.

The upcoming EP will mark Somi's first release in almost two years, following her successful debut studio album, XOXO, which was released in October 2021. During the past year, she has gained immense popularity and love for her hit song Dumb Dumb, released in August 2021, which had sparked a viral challenge craze online.

Meanwhile, the latest announcement has sent fans into a frenzy as they had waited patiently for this comeback for the past two years. Fans spammed social media sites to express their excitement for their favorite's new album.

Meanwhile, the second picture showcases a different side of Somi, donning a stunning red dress and unique braid buns, giving her a Barbie doll-like appearance.

Completing the trio of photos, Somi surprises with a mafia-inspired look in the third image, featuring blonde hair and dark eye makeup, dressed in a formal shirt, black tie, and an unconventional blazer-like upper with full sleeves, accentuated by a pair of black leather gloves, creating an edgy image.

Somi was recently seen at a Barbie movie interview, where, as the host, she interviewed the two popular American actresses and stars of the movie, Margot Robbie and America Ferrera.

As fans eagerly await the release of Game Plan, they are filled with excitement and support for Jeon Somi's long-awaited comeback and are looking forward to witness her growth and artistry in this new musical journey.
