On August 27, 2025, she joined comedian Lee Yongjin on his YouTube channel episode titled Getting CLOSER to Hollywood – Jeon Somi’s Surprising Yongtarot Results | EP.43. There, the K-pop idol revealed that she’s been approached for several tryouts abroad.She mentioned that the shift started while filming a music video built around vanity. The project gave her space to show varied feelings, sparking her interest in acting. The 24-year-old later screened the clip for senior actors Seol Kyung-Gu and his wife Song Yoon-Ah, who complimented her delivery and urged her to continue exploring the field.“I showed him my acting. Uncle Kyung-gu never says anything unnecessary. Somi, this is what we call ‘method.’ You’ve experienced a rare moment that even we only encounter occasionally," she asserted. Her earliest brush with acting came in 2017 through KBS’ Idol Drama Operation Team. Alongside fellow idols, she co-created and appeared in Let’s Only Walk the Flower Road. That effort also formed the short-term unit Girls Next Door, which recorded the soundtrack for the show.Later, she was seen in MBC’s Surprise Mystery TV in the Unbelievable Story slot. Somi portrayed a ghostly figure, performing in stormy weather and rough settings while even handling a parrot. Dressed in a pale dress and wig, she leaned into the chilling look.Supporters remember that Jeon Somi’s dad, Matthew Douma, a Dutch-Canadian performer, once had a role as an American soldier in the popular drama Descendants of the Sun. Now that the songstress is beginning to explore acting herself, many are eager to see if she’ll carve a path similar to his.
