Among the glitterati present at Somi's launch were notable celebrities such as members from TWICE – Nayeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung, SEVENTEEN’s Woozi, The8, and Mingyu, BIGBANG’s Taeyang, and G-Dragon.

As is popularly known amongst ARMY, Namjoon learnt to speak English with the help of the American sitcom, 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S.' The BTS leader continued to further hone his proficiency and now speaks fluent English. He has written/co-written several all-English tracks and even delivered speeches at the UN in the past few years. RM's friendship with GOT7's Jackson Wang also developed a distinct flavour because of their shared understanding of the language.
Somi's 'Game Plan', released on August 7, serves as her debut EP, with 'Fast Forward' headlining the tracklist. Fans can expect a mix of genres ranging from dance and deep house to hip-hop and R&B. The collection features songs like 'Gold Gold Gold', 'Fast Forward', 'Fxxked Up', 'Pisces', and 'The Way' – the latter being an all-English track.
