She wasn ' t supposed to be in Twice from the beginning . She was one of the participants of the reality survival show SIXTEEN who had a chance to be selected to join Twice , but she didn ' t make the cut . From what I ' ve read , the people against Somi joining Twice rn feel this way because 1 She adds nothing to the group , because they already have very established personalities and roles main singer , lead vocals , dancers , face , etc , and are themselves very popular , so they don ' t really need her 2 She can do better in JYP ' s next girl group , because she ' s poised to be the most popular member of that GG think the next Suzy , and that GG will probably need her to hard carry them at the outset , so from a popularity standpoint it makes more sense to build a group around Somi or 3 there are some crazy intense OT 9 fans who don ' t want additions to the group .
