Is Jeon Somi’s comeback track a replica of BLACKPINK’s style? Netizens seem divided

On August 2, Jeon Somi will release “Ice Cream,” her summertime special single. However, there are differing opinions online.

The Kpop artists posted on X, “JEON SOMI Summer Special Single ‘Ice Cream’ 2024.08.02 1PM (KST)”

Devoted followers are excitedly anticipating Somi’s return. They also adore the idea’s aesthetic, with some even comparing it to Barbie.

However, some couldn’t help but believe that this song and its exact concept had already been made available.

Internet users drew attention to the song’s blatant resemblance to Selena Gomez’s 2020 smash hit “Ice Cream” by BLACKPINK. Both the title and the style are the same. Supporters merely hope the sound will be different.

Even though the majority of fans were unable to ignore the similarities, they still adore Somi and are excited about her impending return.

While some supported Somi as well, realizing that it’s probably not her fault that everything is so similar to “Ice Cream” by Selena Gomez and BLACKPINK. “Ice Cream” was released by BLACKPINK under YG Entertainment. Somi is employed by THE BLACK LABEL, a business associate of the company. Teddy is among the producers she collaborates with. The business is accused by many of having “zero creativity.”
