Controversy

Dia was mistaken as a copier of 2NE1's Bom due to her similar appearance and vocal ability. Although she has debuted earlier than Bom's major debut, Dia is still an underrated artist.

She kept the belief of the saying, "인간만사 새옹지마 In life, both the good and bad will have to happen", and stood strong after the depression of her failed single, "0.5caret". She stated that she would like to meet Bom and thank her, she also stated she wants to show her own styles and capabilities.[2][3]
