Do you thinkg this Rose and Bruno Mars collabo has taken IU, and all the acts focusing only on Korea and Japan, out of business? 19

A lot of electrons have been spent to discuss how Bang inhibited BTS' growth, and a similar amount was spent to discuss how Mr. YG had suppressed BlackPink's advances.
The owner of YGE significantly inhibited BlackPink's journey, only promoting them heavily toward the end of their contract.
Meanwhile, the Owner of Edam Entertainment , despite of having only one singer, IU, tried to do the impossible, namely conducting a concert in the Chamshil Olympic Stadium and challenging BTS later.
That might be because Bang and YG had to listen to their stockholders , while the Owner of Edam Entertainment , controlling 60% of her company, could do whatever F she felt like.
Thanks to the huge risks the Owner of Edam Entertainment, who later lost her company back to Kakao, had taken IU's career revived, and she rose to be the primary rival of BTS, despite of being entirely irrelevant outside of Korea.

The harm IU has caused on the rise of KPop is too many, and too extensive, to list.
Basically without her there would be no domestic KPop remaining. While completely irrelevant as far as the global pop scene is concerned, she wielded an inordinate amount of power domestically.
She made a huge impact on BTS being dragged to the military when it was all powerful. The Korean males did not need BTS. They could do with IU.
However, someone compared the recent Rose released to this
Rose could collaborate with Bruno Mars
Lee Jieun collaborate with Min Yoongi
Bruno Mars DOES NOT KNOW who is Lee Jieun.
Rose with Bruno Mars obliterated Yoo Jimin of aespa, the Day6 band boom and qwer, and is likely to destroy aespa and Illit with ease.
Perhaps that might be why Lee Jieun did not release Bye Summer since she knew she would be obliterated by Rose, ending her stranglehold on domestic digital music which was already shaken seriously by Kim Hyungseo and Jang Kiha(IU's ex).
Roseanne Park, MBE(her order is real, unlike those of other members, since she comes from the Commonwealth), is a citizen of New Zealand and does not have the obligation to pay filial duty to the singer who inhibited KPop's growth the most.
It seems Rose has ended all the existing acts in Korea who are only looking for Japan, and also Lee Jieun.
I wish this was done before the HEREH world tour had taken place, since Rose blasting IU off would have ended any dream for the latter to promote in the West.
I had said before that BTS, in 2021-2022, should have done one of these - advance further to silence any opposition in Korea, or crush IU beyond recovery so there would be no one to replace them there. It did neither.
What Rose is doing should have done years ago, and I don't think IU will care being blasted off now since she did have a world tour, an oxymoron since a domestic singer having a world tour is nothing less than a farce.
I simply regret that these measures , which should have been taken in 2020, is being taken only now.
