, a former member of Group DIA, expressed displeasure at the criticism for smoking.
Somyi recently posted a photo of herself smoking an e-cigarette on her personal SNS.
Fans critized the photo saying "A cigarette...", "Somyi unnie", and more. The former DIA member responded saying "So what if I smoke?"
Meanwhile, Somyi joined DIA in 2017 and appeared on KBS 2TV's idol reboot project "The Unit." After withdrawing from DIA and terminating the agency's contract, she is working as a BJ.
Koreans responded to the news on an online community forum saying:
- She's not a minor. Who cares?
- She can smoke, but why upload the photo?
- She not a minor, so it doesn't matter.
- I think fans might follow imitate her.
- The problem is that they could copy her.
- What's wrong with you posting pictures of yourself smoking or not?
- Isn't it up to you?
- Seriously, what's the problem?
- Looking at the floor, it looks like she's on the street. It's none of your business whether you smoke or not, but smoking on the street...
- She's not an idol anymore.
