I'm not talented with GIFs or anything like other people on here are, so I'll leave that to them, but I want to take a second of your time to talk about Kim Sori.

Sori (stylised as SoRi) is a female solo artist under M.O.L.E Music. She was formerly half of the nugu duo CoCoSoRi, whom have since disbanded.

She featured as one of the main roles on the Amazon Prime K-Drama, [email protected], and was a member of the resulting project group; Real Girls Project (RGP). This was her first major acting role and she absolutely smashed it.

SoRi then appeared on MixNine, hoping to gain some more exposure for CoCoSoRi, where she was told by YG that she should "give up on being a singer" because she's "too old". (She's only 29!!) He reduced all of her achievements in her drama and her previous promotions with CoCoSoRi to nothing and was honestly unbelievably cruel and sexist towards her.

Despite that, SoRi continued to fight for her dream. She started a YouTube channel, SoriNotSorry!, where she began filming vlogs and other fun videos to communicate with her fans (called SoriNation or SweetNotes!) and she began working on crowdfunding for her solo debut.

On the 4th September, 2018, SoRi made her solo debut with the song 'Touch'. This song was actually received quite well, unlike SoRi's previous work in her duo. 'Touch' started to generate a lot of views & exposure for SoRi, meaning that she was able to do a full promotional cycle on music shows, and her MV was even shown on a screen in Hongdae. SoRi was finally starting to get the recognition that she deserved....

But, things got worse when SoRi's former group member, CoCo, along with her Koreaboo YouTuber friend, Edward Avila, decided to slander Sori's name, out of jealousy that her solo debut, 'Touch', did better than CoCo's solo work. They accused SoRi of receiving preferential treatment from the company for her solo debut, despite both members using crowdfunding for their solo works, and they claimed that SoRi was relying on showing her body to gain views. (M.O.L.E has since taken legal action against CoCo for this.)

Following the success of 'Touch', SoRi released her 2nd crowdfunded single; 'I'm Ready'. Unfortunately, this didn't quite receive the same support that 'Touch' did, and whilst it managed to hold it's position in the top 100 on the charts for quite a while, it seemed like SoRi was back to square one again.

That brings us to today, the 10th of July, 2019. SoRi has just released her 3rd single, 'I Am Not Alone'. This will probably be SoRi's last comeback, ever, unless we can get the same kind of response that 'Touch' had!

SoRi has worked so so hard throughout her career, she has had to deal with things that she never should've had to deal with, and she is honestly such a kind and pure person.

Her new song is a collaboration with Folded Dragons. It is an EDM-style song that talks about facing challenges but refusing to let them overcome you. SoRi, who has self-proclaimed herself as not being the best of dancers, has worked with 1Million Dance Studio for the choreography, and it is honestly a piece of artwork more than an MV.

That's why I'm asking you, please, PLEASE, don't let this be SoRi's last comeback! She deserves so much better than this! Please stream her MV and show her lots of love!
