I think starting the Fourth Generation, KPop figures should stop paying respect to its sole Senior Singer, who had failed to contribute anything to Kpop in her first 10 years and only contributed a little since then.
She is a big drag for KPop's future advance, and when BTS begins to slow down, she is likely to recapture control of KPop and turn it back inwards.
So I think the newer acts should learn to shun her, not cover her, not mention her and not say anything about her, so she begins to fade away from the newer generation of KPop.
