On April 4th, the YouTube channel “LeoJ Makeup” uploaded a new video featuring the guest appearance of Jeon Somi.
In the video, LeoJ said, “I saw on TikTok that you’re making a highlighter” , adding “Have you really made it yourself? Haven’t they just borrowed your name?” . Jeon Somi immediately denied it, saying “No, I’m not a figurehead. I researched myself.”
LeoJ then asked, “There are many kinds of cosmetics. You could make an eyeshadow kit, foundation, lens, or nails, which you are into. Why did you make a highlighter, of all things?” . In response, Jeon Somi said, “There was not a perfect highlighter, in my opinion.”
She continued, “I always mixed multiple colors or multiple products, which was such a hassle. While I was planning this product with this thought, I once wondered, ‘Am I the only one who complains?’. So, I invited a few K-pop idol friends and had a meeting at my home. I asked them, ‘Which highlighter do you use?’, and I learned that all of them were mixing multiple colors.”

Introducing her highlighter for the first time, Jeon Somi boasted, “I did the packaging myself” . LeoJ asked, “Did you design the package, too?” . Jeon Somi replied, “Yes. I drew this when I was in elementary school. It’s my first product, so…” .
Jeon Somi emphasized, “I thoroughly checked even the slightest pearls and the weight. First, I cared about the color. I kept applying my products and tested them. I’m not a figurehead” .
Meanwhile, when Jeon Somi’s brand opened its official channel at the end of March, the price of her highlighter palette was also revealed to be 43,000 won, sparking a controversy among netizens.
