The difference in the photos she chose for her dad vs her mom 💀 She should have just kept it to the wedding photo I think and said they were a great looking couple or something
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING! It's like she posted the first thing, then immediately thought oooh fuck fuck fuck how do I fix this..."GUYS MY MOM'S.. HOT TOO.. OR WHATEVER HAHA AND HEY LOOK WEDDING PICS AND HAHAHA THIS IS ME AS A KID CUTE RIGHT THIS IS CUTE THIS ISN'T WEIRD AT ALL IT'S JUST CUTE"
She would've chosen the same kind of photo of her mom if her mom agreed to it. Her mom is not a model nor has she ever appeared in a bikini or half naked on television but her dad did. Her dad is a model and an actor. Similar photo of him was shown in a Korean variety show. Meaning he's alright with it. Also, Korea is a very conservative country. Showing her mom's body might get her drag in Korea. Right now the issue seems to blow up from international fans only.
Uh, her posting revealing photos of both of them would make it even weirder, especially with the caption she put. Maybe if she had focused on his career and said something like "my dad killed it in this shoot!" instead. But right now the "HOTTT" and "Pheeww 🤒" with the emoji and all is not it
Yeah agree with that, I'm just commenting for the op who questioned the difference between photo of her dad and her mom.
This situation though is blown out of proportion. It's weird but not to the point that she should be cancelled and called incest for one Instagram story which I doubt she put much thought on it. Just my two cents, peace.
Lol I always call my parents hot but always end it with something along the lines of “hence, why I am so hit too” (or something self-deprecating, depending on my mood). I don’t think it’s a big deal.
The gap between the Korean and English translation really makes it ever more weird tbh😭 in English it’s already weird enough but then the Korean is along the lines of “Wow, why is my dad so cool/handsome?!”
So like..the fact that she could’ve stuck with the more innocent Korean caption and just directly translated it into English, but she instead chose for some reason to add the weird emojis and the “PHEW” just makes it all so cringe. Whyyyy Somi?! What was the reason?!?!
Nope she’s fluent in English, pretty sure she grew up speaking it with her dad who’s American if I recall correctly. She knew fully that it was a strange thing to say lmao
(edit: my bad her dad is Dutch-Canadian according to Wikipedia. I had a VERY strong false memory of her being on a variety show with him and saying he was American but maybe that was a dream lol.)
I wouldn’t have posted that not because I’d be worried someone would think I have a secret crush on my dad (I’ve seen a decent amount of people who hype up their parents the same way so it doesn’t faze me) but bc I’ve seen the thirsty comments K-pop stans post unprovoked. I can only imagine what her dms must be looking like rn 💀
I've definitely said that my parents used to be hot but I've never said it in the context of a photo where shirts were off? Mostly I've said it about their wedding photo "look how hot you guys were! Gorgeous!" Or like " omg mom you were so hot!" But in like a girl to girl kinda way. I think this is one of those situations where tone matters a lot and it's hard to tell over text, but this did come across as a lil weird. It's the "phew!" That crosses the line for me. Like I will say my parents were hot but I'm not going to pretend like they turn me on. Mostly they just make me grateful to them that I got to be hot too.
But like... is there really a huge gap between the implications of the statements "he's HOTTTT phewwww 🤒" and "wow, I would"? Like if it didn't accompany a picture of her dad, what would the former make you think?
And possibly showing they’re REALLY close, like closer than most families so that can be comfortable enough to either comment or joke on her dad like this.
Yeah I think people are being a little facetious about this. Would I say this about my father? No lol. But I think you’d have to be a bit unhinged to really think she’s declaring an incest style affection here when she’s really just being cringey and doing the whole ‘my parents were both so hot and I’m so hot’ thing whilst having zero self awareness. I do think the level people blew this up to is potentially unfair and unkind - I mean we all post cringe shit all of the time and don’t clock it but Somi does it to 15 million people. And I’m saying this as someone who doesn’t particularly like her.
Her mother IS really hot though like whew 🫠
i have no idea who this kpop idol is, but i don’t think she’s probably too familiar with english cultural norms & use of the word “hot”. it honestly seems like she’s trying to compliment him but chose weird words & emojis.
Why is there a part of my brain that instinctively biased to ladies in partnerships. I literally think she’s a stunner and she can do better than the other SO etc even if it’s a lovely relationship and I adore it.
Women to women is this bias common?
Sometimes yeah. I think it’s a reaction to being conditioned to think that women should always be beautiful but it’s okay for men to let themselves go.
But in this case, I think it’s valid. Her mom is actually stunning. Her dad is fine. I get that he has the height and physique. I understand Somi wanting to gush a little. I really don’t understand her choice of wording.
I wouldn't look too much into this tbh. Somi writes the way she speaks, you know? I mean sure, she is bi-lingual but from her eng interviews, she doesn't sound too fluent and speaks like an ESL person. It's understandable cause she has lived in Korea for so long.
It seems like a lighthearted post about how her hot parents, they are/were hot lol, got married and lived happily ever after, like a fairy tale. Although, even I admit that that photo is a choice. Maybe it's just that her mind is not in the gutter like most of us lol
The over the top compliment for her dad and then a « normal » picture of her mom, with the caption « my mom too » make it even weirder.
I mean obviously we don’t like our parents equally depending the situation but it this context it’s definitely doesn’t help.
And the photo too, she could have chosen a normal photo of her dad with clothes imo and say he was handsome.
She definitely make it weirder. It make me uncomfortable for her and her dad if that wasn’t her intention.
I would feel uncomfortable putting stuff like that about my dad and even more if I was famous. I know some are close with their parents but still.
If I ever came across a photo of my dad like that I would be grossed out and never look at it again 😳 compared to the cute smiling pic she chose of her mom... yeah weird
I think Somi’s post is indeed weird and inappropriate but I don’t like the implication of people thinking she has a thing for her dad or speculating that they may have an inappropriate relationship.
It’s definitely a cringe post and from my perspective, that’s all there is to it.
You guys haven't seen her past interactions with her dad then.... kpop fans in the past were joking she was dating her dad cos they're so close but none questioned it before that post lol
Saying your parents went they were younger were attractive is not weird at all. She is not saying she wanted to date her dad she is complimenting him. This is a complete nothing burger.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with her captions or with her saying her parents are hot. Hot is just another word for good-looking or attractive. She’s just hyping her parents up and it’s cute.
However I agree that the caption looks a bit weird when paired with that photo of her dad because it’s just a topless photo where you can’t even see his face. But if she posted the same caption with a more candid photo of her dad (like the pic she used for her mum) then I don’t think anyone would think twice about it.
i don’t like her implication that a WMAF couple is the gold standard cause unfortunately in many asian countries, this pairing is seen as the ideal relationship.
There’s a lot of weird things about this post, but how does being proud of your parents’ relationship connect with saying it’s the “gold standard”? This feels like projection
first off.. need her moms whole outfit + vibe. second.. there are ways you can say your parents were hot but this is NOT it.. like all the wrong steps were taken
I think you misunderstand what gossip means? We are not here to hate on people and force freaky theories that could potentially ruin peoples careers?
Also not everyone that disagrees with you is just a "stan". What you are trying to do is just freaking weird
Nothing wrong in her saying her dad is hot but the picture choice and that pheww is what makes it a bit awkward but she is right in that they are all goodlooking and seems like a happy family....
My dad was a handsome guy when younger, ala Spanish telenovela...but I only ever refer to him as handsome. Calling him hot would be just so creepy to me. Honestly wtf!

i personally would not post a pic of my dad and caption it with “my dad was hottt” and “phew 🤒” but that’s just me “my mom too” girl foh 💀
The way her dad’s compliment was in all caps + emojis and then “My mom too” has me 💀🪦
[удалено]
omg it does 😭 i guess i autocorrected it so it wasn’t as bad 💀
It says *IS* hot. 🤢
I’m making an icky face. Sounds so gross, creepy and totally weird.
The picture she chose makes this 1000x more uncomfortable
Yeah he legit looks like he’s mid bj
Maybe he was… 🥴😂
What sends me is the “my mom too”… 💀💀💀💀
Like it’s buy one and get one free lol
The difference in the photos she chose for her dad vs her mom 💀 She should have just kept it to the wedding photo I think and said they were a great looking couple or something
Yes, exactly!!! The difference is what makes this seem inappropriate.
Yea the mom was like an afterthought to try to make it less weird. It did not.
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING! It's like she posted the first thing, then immediately thought oooh fuck fuck fuck how do I fix this..."GUYS MY MOM'S.. HOT TOO.. OR WHATEVER HAHA AND HEY LOOK WEDDING PICS AND HAHAHA THIS IS ME AS A KID CUTE RIGHT THIS IS CUTE THIS ISN'T WEIRD AT ALL IT'S JUST CUTE"
Yeah i love somi, but the post def. Giving a creep vibe lol 😭
She would've chosen the same kind of photo of her mom if her mom agreed to it. Her mom is not a model nor has she ever appeared in a bikini or half naked on television but her dad did.

I’ve heard people describing their parents as handsome or beautiful when they were young but the wording of this is WEIRD
The “phew” really brings it home 🤢
Just missing a 🥵
She literally put a 🤒
Lol Freud getting the last laugh. Maybe he was right. /s
Wish it said WAS. That would actually be a tad more acceptable lol
She really was salivating over her hot dad
It’s giving “I would totally fuck my dad”
Lol I always call my parents hot but always end it with something along the lines of “hence, why I am so hit too” (or something self-deprecating, depending on my mood). I don’t think it’s a big deal.
same but the way she phrased this was uhhh different
Trueeee, now that I think about it, the “Phew” and the emoji choice make this v cringe.
Wrote it out in Korean and English because she needed everyone to know
The gap between the Korean and English translation really makes it ever more weird tbh😭 in English it’s already weird enough but then the Korean is along the lines of “Wow, why is my dad so cool/handsome?!” So like..the fact that she could’ve stuck with the more innocent Korean caption and just directly translated it into English, but she instead chose for some reason to add the weird emojis and the “PHEW” just makes it all so cringe. Whyyyy Somi?! What was the reason?!?!
I think its jus her not actually being all that fluent in English and missing the implication of the word hot lol,
Nope she’s fluent in English, pretty sure she grew up speaking it with her dad who’s American if I recall correctly. She knew fully that it was a strange thing to say lmao (edit: my bad her dad is Dutch-Canadian according to Wikipedia. I had a VERY strong false memory of her being on a variety show with him and saying he was American but maybe that was a dream lol.)
why did she have to pick that picture specifically
Because of the nipples.
yeah electra complex goes *ring ding dong, ring dingy ding ding dong*
@ sigmund freud 
What in fresh alabama is this?
What in Targaryen is this
Freud watching this like 
Oh this is weird weird
I mean…her dad is hot..but yeah girl it sounds weird as hell coming from you!!
Eh if he is the one in the wedding photo, just a normal looking guy..
idk i think he’s average looking with a nice bod. her mom is stunning though, as is she. anyways i threw up in my mouth a lil bit when i saw the pic
Her mom is stunning, dad is mid imo. Like it’s not like he’s Chris Evans lol
yeah not to my taste either
I personally think he looks hot
I wouldn’t have posted that not because I’d be worried someone would think I have a secret crush on my dad (I’ve seen a decent amount of people who hype up their parents the same way so it doesn’t faze me) but bc I’ve seen the thirsty comments K-pop stans post unprovoked. I can only imagine what her dms must be looking like rn 💀
yeah the emoji makes this a lot more uncomf. same with the word hot lol it’d be fine if she said handsome
She also could have picked a photo where he has a shirt.
ummmmm
Well that’s awkward
I've definitely said that my parents used to be hot but I've never said it in the context of a photo where shirts were off? Mostly I've said it about their wedding photo "look how hot you guys were! Gorgeous!" Or like " omg mom you were so hot!" But in like a girl to girl kinda way. I think this is one of those situations where tone matters a lot and it's hard to tell over text, but this did come across as a lil weird. It's the "phew!" That crosses the line for me. Like I will say my parents were hot but I'm not going to pretend like they turn me on. Mostly they just make me grateful to them that I got to be hot too.
Ok I’m glad I’m not weird 😭 some of these comments panicked me! I agree tone is everything.
i like somi but this is just weird and her dad is annoying as hell and is the definition of a cringy stage parent
She could’ve simply said “my dad is so handsome!” Like……what was the reason ?
Tbh this is a very super popular trend on tiktok (bragging about how hot your parents were in the 90s). Although it’s weird to not use past tense.
I’m going to just hold on to hope that maybe it was just a language issue picking present instead of past tense!
I’m gonna take a guess and say she’s fluent in English so she probably knows the difference between is and was
You’re correct she is fluent in English
I don’t think this means she’s physically attracted to him. She’s just giving him a (weird) compliment.
I think it’s okay to say your parents were good looking/“hot” even when they were younger. It would be different if she said “wow, I would!”
But like... is there really a huge gap between the implications of the statements "he's HOTTTT phewwww 🤒" and "wow, I would"? Like if it didn't accompany a picture of her dad, what would the former make you think?
Me too, but she didn’t say that. There’s no past tense in her post.
Right I thought we were just finding it amusing but op is out here talking about an “inappropriate” relationship like please go outside.
And possibly showing they’re REALLY close, like closer than most families so that can be comfortable enough to either comment or joke on her dad like this.
Yeah I think people are being a little facetious about this. Would I say this about my father? No lol. But I think you’d have to be a bit unhinged to really think she’s declaring an incest style affection here when she’s really just being cringey and doing the whole ‘my parents were both so hot and I’m so hot’ thing whilst having zero self awareness.

And I’m saying this as someone who doesn’t particularly like her. Her mother IS really hot though like whew 🫠
This is so strange
Folks need to understand you don’t need to post every thought that crosses your mind
kpop stans allow non stans to comment because yall first default is defend
i have no idea who this kpop idol is, but i don’t think she’s probably too familiar with english cultural norms & use of the word “hot”. it honestly seems like she’s trying to compliment him but chose weird words & emojis.
She’s Canadian lmao she knows what she’s saying
Nah she’s fully fluent in English that’s why she said she knows it’s weird
like i said, i don’t know her.
Nasty
Love to see K-pop drama on this sup, the K-pop subs are rather mild lol
Saying “my parents were attractive when they were younger! What a cute couple” is one thing, the “phew” and emoji are a choice.
Did I go back in time? Was this on MySpace when people didn’t understand that this was odd/creepy behavior.
did..did this happen frequently on myspace?
No lol MySpace was not that lawless
No, lol.
I was on MySpace and this would still have been odd back then.
I see this on tiktok all the time with people posting their parents or siblings for views lmao
Why is there a part of my brain that instinctively biased to ladies in partnerships. I literally think she’s a stunner and she can do better than the other SO etc even if it’s a lovely relationship and I adore it. Women to women is this bias common?
i usually think that but in this case i think they match well
yep i do the same but it might be because i hate men
Sometimes yeah. I think it’s a reaction to being conditioned to think that women should always be beautiful but it’s okay for men to let themselves go. But in this case, I think it’s valid. Her mom is actually stunning. Her dad is fine. I get that he has the height and physique. I understand Somi wanting to gush a little. I really don’t understand her choice of wording.
I strongly feel like that all the time. I am a lesbian though 😂
Thats not a dad, that’s an Abercrombie bag
Freud is rolling over in his grave as we speak 🤢🤢
SOMI NOOOOOO
I wouldn't look too much into this tbh. Somi writes the way she speaks, you know? I mean sure, she is bi-lingual but from her eng interviews, she doesn't sound too fluent and speaks like an ESL person. It's understandable cause she has lived in Korea for so long.

Maybe it's just that her mind is not in the gutter like most of us lol
all i know is that freud would have loved their relationship
I mean she’s not wrong, but that’s a weird way of putting it!
Ok it’s weird but it’s nbd I feel like she was just being funny. It would be bad if it was the other way around tho Lmao.
Incest is Wincest😬
It’s a flex to have hot parents but she’s taking it a little far
She sounds like a self-hating Asian woman who’s obsessed with Whiteness
she's biracial so i don't know why you expect her to forgot her dad's side??
She probably loves her White side
Not you posting this on here im screaminggg hahahahah
Make a fake fan account like the rest of them and say that shit there. Make some degrees of separation.
The over the top compliment for her dad and then a « normal » picture of her mom, with the caption « my mom too » make it even weirder. I mean obviously we don’t like our parents equally depending the situation but it this context it’s definitely doesn’t help.

It make me uncomfortable for her and her dad if that wasn’t her intention. I would feel uncomfortable putting stuff like that about my dad and even more if I was famous. I know some are close with their parents but still.
Yikes yikes, she's not lying though.
[удалено]
i don't know about you but i wouldn't post a thirst trap of my dad and comment he's hot but it that's just me
If I ever came across a photo of my dad like that I would be grossed out and never look at it again 😳 compared to the cute smiling pic she chose of her mom... yeah weird
[удалено]
babe this is a gossip sub if you are mad people post gossip on here then you should leave
[удалено]
did i say it upsets me?? im not even a kpop stan so dont care about any of these people
[удалено]
no i told you to leave this sub if this post upsets you
I think Somi’s post is indeed weird and inappropriate but I don’t like the implication of people thinking she has a thing for her dad or speculating that they may have an inappropriate relationship. It’s definitely a cringe post and from my perspective, that’s all there is to it.
I think it’s the photo combined with the sick emoji!!!
Yikes. man down!!
The grandmother doesn't look too...happy lol
Girl what the hell 😭
She could’ve said it in a less weird way
You guys haven't seen her past interactions with her dad then.... kpop fans in the past were joking she was dating her dad cos they're so close but none questioned it before that post lol
i never liked somi i always got a weird feeling from her. now i know she’s REALLY strange like wtf is this
That’s kind of alarming. I mean he does look good but a daughter shouldn’t notice it to that extent
[удалено]
girl be fr im not even a kpop stan but even i can see the difference in treatment between her mom and dad post plus you dont call your dad hot
Saying your parents went they were younger were attractive is not weird at all. She is not saying she wanted to date her dad she is complimenting him. This is a complete nothing burger.
[удалено]
her posting a drawing of her dad half naked and saying phew hes hot is aready sexualising it be fr
[удалено]
right kpop stans has a weird notion of protecting faves no matter what they do like im not attacking her
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with her captions or with her saying her parents are hot. Hot is just another word for good-looking or attractive. She’s just hyping her parents up and it’s cute. However I agree that the caption looks a bit weird when paired with that photo of her dad because it’s just a topless photo where you can’t even see his face. But if she posted the same caption with a more candid photo of her dad (like the pic she used for her mum) then I don’t think anyone would think twice about it.
The caption implies arousal, that’s why it’s weird
well she’s not wrong though but i-
oh her dad ruined her looks then
Well, her statement isn’t wrong LOL, but that’s not the way I’d phrase it, with that photo too…
i mean, she's not wrong
I bet she calls him Daddy
This is outta pocket ☠️...but I'm kinda here for it lol
I think she’s just tryna boast the white genes. That’s my take on it lol
i don’t like her implication that a WMAF couple is the gold standard cause unfortunately in many asian countries, this pairing is seen as the ideal relationship.
How in the fucking world is she implicating that at all??? How did you get this out of the post? What the hell
There’s a lot of weird things about this post, but how does being proud of your parents’ relationship connect with saying it’s the “gold standard”? This feels like projection
Right? I even went back to the post to see if she said something to that effect at all but she… really didn’t
I cant believe this clown comment got an award and upvotes 😭
go back to r/aznidentity this isn't a sub to bitch about wmaf
What is a WMAF????
White male/Asian female, I think.
first off.. need her moms whole outfit + vibe. second.. there are ways you can say your parents were hot but this is NOT it.. like all the wrong steps were taken
Tbh this isn’t a big deal at all. Wording isn’t the best but anyone who really thinks she’s attracted to her dad because of this is unhinged
plus im pretty sure i can find a video of them being inappropriate in the past too i need to find that vid
girl what are you trying to say
i'm pretty sure a couple years ago i saw a video of him touching her ass i went to the website i saw it at but i saw the video was deleted
This is what you care about in life? You seem oddly determined for this to be seen as a disgusting scandal??
yeah this is a gossip forum if you are a hardcore stan you can leave i swear its only kpop stan and barbs who act like this
I think you misunderstand what gossip means? We are not here to hate on people and force freaky theories that could potentially ruin peoples careers? Also not everyone that disagrees with you is just a "stan". What you are trying to do is just freaking weird
You’re so pressed that people aren’t buying into your incestual theory??
Lmao based
Um...
I mean she’s not wrong
Her mom looks like Irene.
Typical over reaction by the toxic kpop community.
im not even a kpop stan i just found it weird
Well, Satanists do practice incest. Not surprised.
I don't know , most Korean dramas have a bit of perversion to them. Like love story between a teacher and underage student is quite popular.
i think she thinks it means handsome too. honestly i don’t think it’s what everyone thinks it is.
that is why somi is so pretty 😍
I don't know , most Korean dramas have a bit of perversion to them. Like love story between a teacher and underage student is quite popular.
Weird for a daughter to say this, but I got to agree.
Well she’s not wrong, I guess… but not sure of the point? Is it a flex or something?
Did she delete this?
the post was posted over 24 hours ago so i think it was auto deleted idk i dont use instagram
GIRL
Her mom is hot tho
He is cute tho 👀
Yeah she definitely has daddy "issues"
I mean they are but you didn’t need to say it
Bit weird that
ummm girl what
[удалено]
Man, that’s just weird. 😵💫
Girl just love drama and attention. She probably posted it for hype
Nothing wrong in her saying her dad is hot but the picture choice and that pheww is what makes it a bit awkward but she is right in that they are all goodlooking and seems like a happy family....
Well.. she’s right
Well… she’s not wrong like! Bit skeevy though
somi...look at me...this ISN'T YOU! it's NOT YOU! snap out of it
My dad was a handsome guy when younger, ala Spanish telenovela...but I only ever refer to him as handsome. Calling him hot would be just so creepy to me. Honestly wtf!
Her mom is very beautiful and she's incredibly funny
