Because she's a soloist without a really huge fandom to protect her.
Much easier to be a performative hypocrite when you won't face as much pushback and attempts to drown your silly shit out
Very sad but also extremely true
It's meaningless she's fine. People are just on the latest trends
Tell Teddy to drop some music, follow will increase
hate me for this but for me her number of followers... well how to put it in words "inflated"?
8-12M shall be fine level for Somi-nim
you have certain artists which are active in group, and also doing solos, for example Nayeon has just 12.5M followers, mentioned above Taeyeon is a legend and she as 18.9M
I know that in western world you can be whoever, and whatever but you go viral and become a 'celeb' overnight
maybe then those people who dropped Somi, were actually international so called "fans"...
Solo’s physical features/assets cater to the West. And she has a ton of international/west fans. It’ plays a part.
Display Moreshe used to gain normal amount of followers until her starbucks tiktok. I remember she had like 19.8 M followers then went downhill after til now.
Why did it only affect her when we have other kpop acts working with BDS list?
I saw other also get backlash, but for just a temporary
I understand the sentiment but targetting a celebrity for working is not it
She is a soloist with (as someone said before) not a huge hardcore fandom protecting her and was one of the first ones the mob focused on, so they all have her in mind and see her as someone they have to destroy to be able to feel liek they have done something, while ignoring that others did such things too. Just like people remember that Chungha was the first kpop idol to get covid but can anyone remember who came after her (expect the like 3 friends she celebrated with)?
It is just like in school that when the first victim is picked by the bullies others will join to be part of the "community" too and to feel better about themselves, while ignoring that for whatever undeserving reason they picked the victim for, it applies to other people as well. But either they are so focused on disliking the victim that they don't see anyone else or make excuses for their friends (or in kpop their groups) who share the same "trait".
In a few months most will probably forget about it and she will gain followers again with a new comeback
This was brewing for a long time, I think it was year ago when people started shifting their opinions about Somi.
When she first debuted she was met with lots of backlash but most people still wanted her to suceed, she came back, improved and with better music and everything was back on track. Then she had some weird things to say about her father, close friendship with Hyuna, fast forward was mid and some other things, people were ready to hate and then Starbucks thing happened

She really doesn't have enough music
