Somi’s Recent Announcement Triggers Majorly Divided Reactions
The idol has been promoting the track, ahead of its release, on social media.

But you want that 101— JEON SOMI (전소미) (@somi_official_) June 22, 2025
Yet, the post was hit with major criticism. Although some just thought they seemed like bad lyrics, others believed Somi was using AAVE, or African-American Vernacular English, which is a variety of English spoken primarily by black communities in America and criticized the idol for the words used.
The aave??? This is weird sorry 💀
