Somi Discusses ’11-Line Abs’ Secret

Somi is currently preparing for her Japanese debut and that includes her diligent commitment to maintaining her physical fitness. She was recently a guest on “Knowing Bros.” where she admitted that she has been working out for six years.

Furthermore, Somi credited her Pilates instructor for imparting the knowledge necessary to achieve what’s commonly referred to as “11-line abs.” She explained that this is influenced by a person’s early life experiences, such as excessive crying as a baby. Somi stated that it strengthens their abdominal muscles through deep breathing exercises.

Somi soared to nationwide recognition when she secured the coveted first position on the competitive reality show “Produce 101,” which led to her membership in the eleven-member project girl group, I.O.I. Following the disbandment of I.O.I, she inked a contract with YG Entertainment’s subsidiary, The Black Label. This pivotal move marked the commencement of her solo artist career, with her debut taking place on June 13, 2019.

Presently, Somi is in the midst of an active promotional phase for her latest EP, titled “Game Plan.” She also started a fun variety show “Yes or Hot” where Somi had longtime friend HyunA as her first guest.
