In the final episode of SIXTEEN, however, Jeon Somi was eliminated, thus, she was unable to debut as a member of the girl group TWICE.
On the Namoo Wiki profile that she was reading to 1theK, it was mentioned that she received fewer votes than TWICE Tzuyu in the last episode of the survival show, and this is why she was eliminated.
Jeon Somi commented that she doesn't remember having fewer votes than Tzuyu during SIXTEEN. She then jokingly said, "But reading this makes me go, 'I guess so?'"
The "Dumb Dumb" singer then shared that she's very close with all TWICE members and she would run into each other on the streets quite often.
Somi also confessed that the TWICE members are some of the people she can feel comfortable around.
