Many of today’s K-pop idols had to convince their parents to achieve the career they have now. Being a K-pop idol isn’t easy at all, so it’s understandable that parents didn’t want their child to choose the career path they chose.
While this applies to a few idols, there are artists whose parents are fully supportive of their children. In fact, there are some famous parents who are so supportive that they’ve even contributed to their children’s music videos – three examples below.

In October 2021, Somi returned with her first full album “XOXO” and the title song of the same name. The music video for “XOXO” continues the plot of her previous song “Dumb Dumb”. At the end of “Dumb Dumb”, Somi starts dating a man in MV and in “XOXO” she breaks up with him and MV follows her as she gets revenge on her ex for cheating.

But one thing is confirmed, Joohoney’s mom is a jewelry designer, which is consistent with the rumor that she made a jewel in MV. Member MONSTA X has mentioned his mum’s work several times in interviews and vlogs. Actually his mother made a necklace for him and the idol wrote the text “my mom is a jewelry designer and i am DIA because i am her son. Because my mom designed me” for his mixtape “DIA”.
