Lee Soomin (이수민) is currently an independent trainee. She ranked #31 on Episode 10 of Produce 101 Season 1 and was eliminated.
Career & History
During Produce 101, Soomin represented Fantagio Music, but in April 2016 she left Fantagio Music for unknown reasons. It is assumed since she would not be debuting with Weki Meki, she left the company.
After Produce 101, Soomin was a contestant on Kpop Star 6. She was in the Top 4 (semifinals) before being eliminated.
After Kpop Star, she officially signed with LOEN Entertainment, and then to FAVE Entertainment (a subsidiary of LOEN).
She was in MIXNINE, an audition program by YG Entertainment to debut trainees from different companies, representing FAVE Entertainment. She earned 2nd place in the girl’s ranking, but her group lost to the boys team allowing the boys the ability to debut and not the girls.
There were rumors that she would be debuting in 2018 in a new girl group with Park Soyeon and other LOEN trainees. LOEN was updating the prospective girl group's Instagram and Twitter account at the handle @LOENGIRLS2018. Around August 2017, the group rebranded as "Fave Girls", as they were confirmed to be under the LOEN subsidiary FAVE Entertainment. Their usernames changed to @FAVEGIRLS2018. Soomin and Soyeon were part of that group until August 2018 when Fave announced they had left the company.
Since late 2018, Soomin was training under MYSTIC Story and was in predebut videos under their YouTube account. However, on August 2020, MYSTIC took down her pictures and content, confirming her departure.
On August 7, 2020, she took down MYSTIC Story's link out of her Instagram bio; hours later, all her pictures was removed from the MYSTIC Rookies's official Instagram, therefore confirming her departure.
On July 1st, 2022 Soomin posted on Instagram after over two years saying that she gave up on being an idol and decided to get into university and get a degree instead, she claims that she "was living the same thing over and over again" by leaving one company and joining another one. She also says she feels peaceful and alright right now
