Talking about "Unpretty Rapstar," (G)I-DLE Soyeon told Yoo Heeyeol that she was just a high school student when she took part in the show and that there was a "Diss Battle" in the program. Unfortunately, she is not the type of person who disses anyone.
"My agency knows my personality so well and that I don't diss anyone," the rapper said. But, since it was required to create a diss rap about someone, CUBE Entertainment's chairman gave her a suggestion.
"My label's chairman told me, 'Try dissing the director over here'," Jeon Soyeon stated. She added, "I was asked to diss the person standing in front of me. I had no other option but to do it."
