South Korean singer Somi, often dubbed the “Human Barbie,” recently made a comeback with new music—but it wasn’t just her songs making waves. In a surprising twist, Somi shared a spooky yet hilarious ghost story on her personal YouTube channel that has since gone viral among fans!
According to Somi, the eerie incident happened in the middle of the night. She was fast asleep when she was suddenly jolted awake by the sound of a woman wailing. Curious (and surprisingly unbothered), Somi followed the sound… and found a crying female ghost in her bathroom. Instead of panicking, Somi recalled feeling strangely calm—and even intrigued. “She was the first ghost I ever saw! Honestly, she was quite pretty,” Somi said, adding that the ghost looked human, just with some bruises on her body.
Her Reaction? Classic Somi: Sit Down and Chat With the Ghost.
Rather than running away in fear, Somi did what any extroverted queen would do—she plopped down next to the ghost and asked, “Unnie, are you okay? Why are you crying? Did you fall and get those bruises?” The ghost coolly replied, “It’s normal for ghosts to wander around when humans are asleep.”
Somi, ever the empath, went full therapist mode—listening to the ghost’s woes and encouraging her to open up: “It’ll help you move on if you talk about it.” She even complimented the ghost, saying, “Unnie, you’re so pretty!”—which apparently flustered the ghost enough to respond shyly, “Really?”
The Best Part? Somi Gave the Ghost a Deadline.
Before heading back to bed, Somi gave the ghost a heads-up: “I’ll be smudging the house with sage tomorrow, so please leave before then. I don’t want to accidentally hurt you.” She then peacefully went back to sleep.
Hilariously, she forgot all about the encounter until the next day while chatting with her mom—only then realizing how creepy (and hilarious) the whole thing was. “I got chills just remembering it!” she exclaimed.
Netizens couldn’t get enough of the story, flooding the comments with:
- “Somi really is the ultimate extrovert—she even makes friends with ghosts!”
- “Of course the ghost fell for her visuals too.”
- “This whole story feels like a K-drama scene!”
- “Somi is truly a variety show queen, on and off camera!”
