Other than BTS, the singer who is watching this news like a hawk is probably IU.
IU always wanted to recapture the initiative of KPop but BTS was always a challenge too great for her.
However, if the Giant disappears, the 1,343 old singer regains her one chance to recapture the initiative of KPop and darken the atmosphere with her sleepy ballads once again.
There is no one in KPop scene who is capable of blocking her because BTS' domination was so great.
IT is like the old tale of the dowager queen, who was put in dungeon for 24 years, coming back out of it and haunting everything again.
If aespa had been a bit bigger they might have been able to stop the millennian singer, but apparently IU had put that into mind and had released Strawberry Moon to check aespa back in last autumn.
If BTS' military exemption is denied, next year the 4th gen will fight a life - or - death struggle against the Singer who significantly overstayed her welcome , a very bloody fight I expect.
