“I had no choice. “With this confession in tears and a bold return declaration, the former member of the group of girls Ahn Somyi is again in the spotlight – and public opinion is abruptly divided.
Ahn Somyi recently signed an exclusive contract with Moden Berry Korea, reporting his return to the entertainment sector. His agency has announced a strong position against harmful and false voices comments and promised a legal action against the controversial YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute, who said he had a personal relationship with the CEO of PocketDol Studio Kim Kwang-Soo.
While his legal battle is making news, his past is also, in particular his period as an adult in streaming BJ (Broadcast Jockey) on a platform known for provocative content. Ahn Somyi joined for the first time in 2017, but stopped group activities in 2019 and was officially gone in 2022. Since 2021, he had been active on a live streaming platform for adults, wearing revealing clothes and making Ristro comment during transmissions – a clear contrast with the innocent image of Dia.
In 2023, Ahn Somyi appeared on Channel S Sisters’ attackwhere he explained his reasons to become a BJ. “My father failed in business five times“He said, adding that he continued to receive monthly allowances from his parents in difficulty even after his debut.”BJ work pays weekly. When my parents needed a large amount of money, I sent about 50 million krw once I sent them“He revealed, holding the tears.”I just want to receive love instead of hatred. I did my best in my own way. “
While some Netizen have sympathized his situation, others have questioned his choices:
“Was the streaming for adults really the only way to earn money?”
“It looks like a media game.”
“Everyone has difficulty, but not everyone takes that road.”
There are precedents of BJS who move on to idols – for example, the members of Qwer Chodan and Magenta were once streamed of known contractions for sexy dances and clothes revelations. Although initially they faced a repercussions, their coherent musical outputs and the growing popularity have contributed to moving public perception. However, the case of Ahn Somyi could prove more difficult, since its platform was explicitly focused on adults.
Online reactions on his return are divided. Some fans encourage her, while others remain skeptical, citing her past as an adult in streaming BJ. As anticipation and control grow up, only time will say if Ahn Somyi can successfully recover its place in the world of entertainment.
