She's already the biggest name in Korean music now that Bigbang is gone. She's also had a long ass hiatus and will already have tons of hype by coming back from it, same as BB, Akmu, BTS next year, etc.
But i just saw her teaser with V.
Like really? The most accomplished chartist in Korean music history feels insecure enough that she has to use V clout to hype up her comeback even more? Groups like Idle, LSRFM, and yes even NJ who will all likely comeback between Jan-February now have to take on both IU and BTS fans/listeners?
Not cool, Lee Jieun, not cool. My girls like Miyeon, Soyeon, Yuqi, Chaekkurra, and Minji are pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and going to war with honor and courage. Meanwhile, IU is fixin to bring a gun to a knife fight.
