They say Lee Jieun's perf resemble the perfs of Moritaka Chisato and Kudo Shizuka at their idol days.
Some people say Lee JIeun was 'inspired' by the perfs of Kang Susie and Ha Soobin, idols in early 1990s, but since they copied the styles of the Japanese idols it's the same thing.
As the captions say, both Moritaka and Kudo were around 20 when they performed these
Kang Susie was in early 20s. Not much is known about Ha Soobin (it was rumoured that she was actually a he, but since she disappeared without a trace, the truth was never revealed) but she was around that age too.
Lee Jieun was the sole recipient of the Grand Prizes in all of the 3 major GPs of this year because others did not show up.
And, she won the main Grand Prize and was presented her award by the owner of JTBC, the first time a digital winner received this owner ever since the digital award was established back in 2006.
And she chose to act like those who were popular in late 1980s.
Lee JIeun, who is 30 in Korean reckoning, no longer tries to hide her reactionarism and her willingness to erase all gains of KPop and return back to the bad old days in no time.
She always wanted to eradicate Kpop and make the Korean Pop industry return to the old age where vocals and domesticism were emphasized and overseas successes ignored.
I have warned about the Senior Singer of Korean Pop gaining power again since she would try to eliminate all successes of Kpop and make it return to the old era.
And, her perf in the style of 1980s Japanese idols shows she woulld gladly erase every came after 1990s.
