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."

Hearing this, netizens consoled her with sweet comments like, "Somi, don't cry," "You're doing better now than in the past, so be strong," "I support you," and more.
