On August 2, Korean female singer Jeon Somi officially released the English single "Ice Cream". The product marks Somi's return after 1 year, since the extended disc "Game Plan".
“Ice Cream” is a vibrant, fast-paced, powerful dance-pop song, very suitable for the fresh atmosphere of summer.
The MV for the song is also made in a bright, dynamic style, simulating an ice cream truck with vibrant colors. In it, Somi shows off her beauty, seductive figure and shows off her attractive dancing skills.
In particular, the end of the MV brings a surprise with the presence of actor Park Seo Joon . He appeared for only about 10 seconds, but Park Seo Joon's handsome "prince-like" appearance immediately caused a fever.
However, despite having famous guests like Park Seo Joon, Somi's MV is still entangled in controversy.
Many opinions say that Somi's "Ice Cream" is like a "copycat" of the MV of the same name by senior group Blackpink , released in 2020. Not only the name is similar, the tropical scenes, summer colors There are many similarities in the two MVs.
Some viewers sarcastically said that Somi's MV only differs from Blackpink's MV in the cameo. If Blackpink combines with European and American star Selena Gomez, then Somi combines with Korean star Park Seo Joon.
In addition, a few comments were not very positive about the music quality of "Ice Cream".
They think that this song is a step backwards compared to Somi's previous hit - "Fast Forward". They expected something better, but ended up disappointed because “Ice Cream” wasn't explosive enough.
