IOI's Jeon So Mi proved her popularity on 'Hello'!

The November 21 installment of KBS2 'Hello' was a special 300th episode, and star guests like Shim Hyun Tak, Lee Sang Woo, Seo In Young, and Jeon So Mi donated their treasured items for an auction.

Jeon So Mi brought her taekwondo uniform and sneakers that she wore in elementary school. She explained, "I was overweight in elementary school. That's why I started taekwondo, and I've been doing it for 8 years."

She also shared, "When IOI promotions are over, I am going to try for 4 dan (taekwondo rank)."

Jeon So Mi's uniform brought a lot of competition among fans. The MC added to the competition by commenting, "If you own an item from Jeon So Mi, who won first place in a competition program, you will have good luck."

In the end, Jeon So Mi's uniform and sneakers were won by a bidder who bid 700,000 KRW (~$600), the highest bid of the day!

Meanwhile I'm just wondering... what's the point? Why do you want it? Lol

I could think of several reasons, while not even being a fanboy: 1) because you like Jeon So Mi, 2) because you're into Taekwondo, 3) because the auction supports a good cause (just guessing, but I doubt the money is going to So Mi), 4) because it's not that expensive while you get to own an exclusive item nobody else has, etc. If I had known about the auction I might have even bid for it but for a different reason all together: Jeon So Mi has some Dutch DNA coursing through her veins. As I'm Dutch, I'd love to get that connection :)

The answer is 1 or 4. because they like Somi, a die hard fans or maybe creep wanting a personal item of Somi. If youre into taekwondo, you'll not buy it but make it. If its for good cause then she should've said it beforehand.

For me it would've been 5, but that's all besides the point. I merely want to point out there are several reasons why you would want something like that :)
