Netizens commented:

Why did she delete it?
- I don't know
- Maybe she got a warning from the agency.
- I think idols should not use other idols' music unless they're promoting it by doing the challenge but in Somi's video, she's doing the meme trend.
- Because she spoiled her outfit on stage :))
- This is technically using NewJeans music as a meme or in a joking way and it's kind of breaking the rule of being a K-pop idol that's why
I WON'T BE ABLE TO SLEEP PROPERLY.
naur she deleted it?
- Yes she deleted it
Why did she delete it?
Is it racist or something, someone explain???
- No, they're mimicking a meme based on this song but sadly Somi deleted it.
I SAVED IT BEFORE IT GOT DELETED
She must have felt afraid that someone might cancel her. Idols get so many attacks for being racist for the slightest thing these days. They are cute tho.
