Jeon Somi is a “Barbie Girl” in the K-pop world. Known for her versatility, charm, and aura, Somi has earned the endearing moniker of “Barbie” within the industry because of her doll-like visual. From her early days as a contestant on the survival reality show "Produce 101" to her flourishing solo career, Jeon Somi has consistently dazzled audiences with her talent, visuals, figure, and personality.
Jeon Somi can pull off any look with grace and elegance, and she never fails to turn heads and set trends. In 2021, Somi underwent a dramatic change by bleaching her hair blonde during the “DUMB DUMB” era. Initially, she was hesitant about going blonde, fearing that it might make her appear “too much like a foreigner.” However, her fans’ enthusiasm pushed her to embrace the transformation, and she emerged with a radiant new look. Since then, Somi has effortlessly rocked her gorgeous blonde locks, earning her the nickname “The Barbie of K-pop.”
Here are some of Jeon Somi’s mesmerizing pictorials that stand true to her trademark Barbie doll-like visuals:
In an interview with actor Joo Woo-jae Somi, she revealed that she is grateful and happy but also a bit shy about the nickname “Korea’s Barbie.” During a promotional event for Barbie in Korea, Somi also had the chance to interview the “IRL Barbie” herself—Australian actress Margot Robbie. Robbie is known for her portrayal of stereotypical Barbie in the popular film.
