Jeon Somi Talks Preparing to Host KCON LA, Reveals the Music She’s Listening to & More | KCON LA 2024

Jeon Somi chatted with Billboard’s Tetris Kelly on the red carpet at 2024 KCON LA.

Tetris Kelly:
Tell me: What’s your KCON experience been like so far?

Jeon Somi:
So far, I was just at rehearsal because I’m hosting today. I went through all the scripts and I went through all the stages, and it was actually pretty good. It was amazing. It was nice.

Tetris Kelly:
I was about to say, does it feel easier now that you’re here?

Jeon Somi:
Yeah, it does. It does because I was here eight years ago, and then it’s my first time ever since. So I thought things might be a little bit different.

Tetris Kelly:
But you aced it!

Jeon Somi:
But it’s the same or even better. I feel comfortable, confident — it’s nice.

Tetris Kelly:
Perfect. And what’s been some of your music obsessions lately?

Jeon Somi:
Music obsessions … emo rock.

Tetris Kelly:
Emo rock?

Jeon Somi:
Emo rock, indie rock, I’m really into.

Tetris Kelly:
OK! Name a artists. Who should I be listening to?

Jeon Somi:
You should listen to a song called “ican’tbelieveiletyougetaway.”

Tetris Kelly:
OK.

Jeon Somi:
My go-to these days.

Tetris Kelly:
I’m gonna check it out.

Jeon Somi:
Yeah, but it has no space bars. No space bars. “ican’tbelieveiletyougetaway.”

Tetris Kelly:
All one word.

Jeon Somi:
Yup!

Tetris Kelly:
OK. Thank you so much, have fun!

Jeon Somi:
Thank you, thank you! Have fun!
