Singer Jeon Somi was embroiled in a public decorum controversy over a single selfie taken inside a taxi.
On the 26th Jeon Somi uploaded several photos to her social account with the caption "One random day".
The released photos captured Jeon Somi enjoying a trip in Japan. She savored tasty food and shopping, enjoying her rest.
However, in another photo Jeon Somi drew attention by suddenly lifting her leg and taking a proof shot while riding in a taxi in Japan. She was also seen lifting one leg and taking photos in a shopping center rest area, not just in the taxi.
Some netizens criticized Jeon Somi's behavior. They pointed out that putting ones feet up with shoes on inside a taxi used by multiple people violates public decorum. Moreover, reactions followed that a K-pop star active globally doing such an act in Japan, where public etiquette is sensitive, is a national embarrassment.
However, some netizens argued there was no problem since Jeon Somi's foot did not touch the seat. They said people should refrain from excessive criticism based on a single photo without knowing the full context. Nevertheless, there was also regret expressed asking, "Did she have to take the photo in that pose?"
Meanwhile Jeon Somi recently announced her appearance in her first Hollywood leading film "PERFECT GIRL." "PERFECT GIRL" is a thriller film themed on K-pop, and Jeon Somi will for the first time challenge straight acting through this work.
