In a twist which even surprised yours truly, Lee Jieun basically announced her retirement from singing for the foreseeable future , citing her ear troubles.
In other words, Lee Jieun gathered all of her strength to have a big festival for KPop's reactionarism, and now basically the only person who kept KPop's reactionarism alive and the only singer who was a match against all these KPop Greats won't be in action for quite a while.
It is likely that she will not have any more concerts this year, and will start filming the rumored new drama, keeping her out of KPop for quite a long time.
The 4th Gen , who were supposed to fight her, is suddenly freed from her threat for the time being.
Whyknock might retire from posting about KPop as well since if Lee Jieun is out of Kpop Whyknock finds no reason to write about the damages she had caused to KPop as well.
There were no storms to stop her and there were sudden big events to derail her, but in the end the 4th Gen are freed from her threat after everything was said and done.
