Jeon So Mi humorously addresses dating rumors. While Korean celebrities, particularly K-pop idols, are often tight-lipped about their personal lives, a trend of candidness appears to be emerging among the newer generation. Dodging questions about relationships is commonplace in interviews, making it a surprise when they openly discuss the topic.

Recently, following the likes of Bambam and Jungkook, soloist Jeon So Mi, whose track "Fast Forward" topped the Melon charts, provided a cheeky response to a fan's query about her relationship status.

Fan: "Are you dating? lol."

Somi: "If I was, I wouldn’t be eating undercooked pasta by myself, yo."

Previously, Somi has touched upon her personal life in various shows. A few months ago, on the variety show "Witch Hunt," she shared that she still maintains contact with an ex-boyfriend post-breakup.

Moreover, on her YouTube talk show, "Yes or Hot," she confided in HyunA about being approached by a "foreign entertainer." This revelation has left fans buzzing with curiosity about the identity of this foreign person.

While Somi is known for her candidness, she has mentioned that she wouldn't drop hints if she were in a relationship. She would only publicly acknowledge it if the media uncovered it.

What are your thoughts? Should idols skirt around dating questions, or should they address them head-on like Somi?
