misc.

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."
