In the KPop sphere, I am somewhat known as having written at least 10,000 posts to tell the harm Lee Jieun had caused to KPop. I stopped counting after around 5,000.
But when I saw this photo
Of Lee Jieun with a boy,
Whyknock thought about Jang Nara, who was the image of an innocent girl, but she now plays a jilted wife, a queen to an evil king and things like that. She had played a mother in Confession Couple with a lesser known actor.
It appears Lee Jieun, while famous for all these ears, appears to realize that she now has to play a different role because of the change of times.
Kim Eana had commented that the new album will be "very spicy", and since Lee Jieun probably consulted Kim Eana while writing the lyrics, it seems Lee Jieun will probably be firing her last shots before moving on to more 'adult like' music.
Whyknock thinks this might be the final year Whyknock will be writing about Kpop, since if Lee Jieun moves on to the more adultlike style of music, she is no longer in the mainstream of Kpop so Whyknock has no more reason to write about her.
In fact the moment almost came on Nov 2019 when IZOne almost collided with Lee Jieun. If the rigging scandal was revealed just a few days later, IZOne would have revealed its album and would have buried Lee Jieun. Instead, Lee Jieun got to own the December , extending her dominance into the 2020s.
What would be the expectation on her album, which appears to be quite experimental?
