Naoi Rei covers the Kimi ni Todoke OP in Korean - more Japanese members in KPop should cover it in the original language to celebrate the Reconquest of KPop by Japan

Naoi Rei, unfortunately, covered this song in Korean.

The version sung by 10cm is no more than a cover of the original japanese version , released in 2010.

10cm's cover of the above Japanese song has defeated even the mighty IU, who had terrorized KPop for 15 long years.

So , since nobody in KPop could defeat her, it was perhaps fitting that a Japanese song crushed her in the end, like Lee Sinsun being put down by a Japanese sniper, whose name is lost to history, in the final stage of the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592-1598.

Rei blew her chance, but there are other members of KPop groupis hailing from Japan.

I think they should all do Japanese covers of Kimi ni todoke, to celebrate the reconquest of Korean Pop by Japan and also to denigrate IU, who finally met her match after 15 years of terrorizing KPop by a Japanese song.

Quote from Rarami

I saw this cover a while back, didn't even reilize this song is #1 right now

Rei lost a golden opportunity, which is now up for grabs to all Japanese members operating from Korea.

The one who does that first will win huge fame.

Is Lee Jieun over for good?

Looks like so. This is a very serious blow since in the last 15 years the former owner of edam entertainment never failed to score #1 in Melon's daily chart.

Quote from Jasque-O-Part2

So now we wait for the next big menace to k-pop expansion to the west

No. She actually outlived the period of KPop expansion to the west, which was decisively defeated by APT. in last winter so the chance of a KPop expansion to the west has passed basically for ever.
