Participant Somi on JYP Entertainment's competitive program, 'SIXTEEN,' shed tears as she remembered being called derogatory terms in the past for being half-Canadian and half-Korean.


During an interview section, she said, "I've heard that I was a mutt (or crossbreed) from my friends," tears dripping down her face. Rude! Her father, Matthew, added, "When I heard this, my heart did not just hurt normally. It really hurt a lot. I almost cried. Her mother cried."
