I found the netizenbuzz post about it

I know it is a a culture thing but lmao this is hilarious

Oh, I'm not part of them but I even find it hilarious seeing Jung Hae In there. lol. But to bash him for that would be too much.

I also remembered the time when Han Hyo Joo won an award together with another actress, she gave her speech first, the other actress followed, when the other actress was done, HHJ remembered someone she hasn't mentioned and went on to thank that person. Knets dragged her for saying thanks twice and trying to be the one to say the last words. lol

It is not really easy for i-fans to appreciate her lyrics since she bases her lyrics on years of Korean tradition which does not get translated. She even shows some hints of Buddhist philosophy in her songs. (She has no religious following but grew up in a Buddhist household)

Since Lee Jieun mostly writes songs for the Koreans, and only occasionally tries to relate with the i-fans like Celebrity, most foreign fans will never really appreciate her no matter what ; the i-fans who follow her are doing that because she is famous

May I know which lyrics exactly? It's important for me to know.

Quote from MJay14

Overrated? LOL. She is nowhere near overrated imo. She is a singer that has great vocal skill (50% idols struggle) and a great songwriter (50% of idols cant do). Even her dancing is pleasing to watch and not awkward (better than some idols).

The word overrated doesnt exist in her vocabulary. Again, my opinion. No shades, just trying to make a point based on my opinion.

Well said.

Quote from WhyKnock

BTS basically started the love-yourself genre. That is what propelled it to the top of the world, and LeeJieun appears to be trying to follow that formula to advance her international career.

Yes, love theirselves too much that they keep trashing on others.

Quote from QueenMaknae27

How is she overrated when she's been releasing hits after hits?

IKR?

The simple fact that the OP has that handler speaks all.

Quote from chounim

Do you all remember that actor who was dragged through filth for standing in the middle during a drama cast group photo? It was wild.

Really? Didn't know about that.

Quote from chaengaro-o

I think it's the culture. Idols get dragged sometimes for not bowing to each other, imagine if they showed open distaste.

I remember a Comedian getting dragged by KNetz because Yoo Jae Suk supposedly bowed lower than him. In fact he did, only Yoo Jaesuk was shorter, so he literally have to fold his body in half so that his head be lower than that of Jaesuk. If he'd be criticised for this, how much more for feuds?

And you earned yourself best answer my friend

Thanks!.

Let's not talk about money here, because when we do, then we should also take into account how next to JYP, Psy, Rain, Jaejong, GD and someone I forgot, IU would be the richest singers, and the woman's on the top list for the richest female singer in Korea, and her pocket's would even be bigger if she stops donating, but that's out of topic so yeah. Those things, themselves speak for the work and success she have built.

Boa's legacy is amazing, and IU's legacy in itself should be commended as well. If Boa promoted or revived kpop, it was also IU who revived the genre for indie, ballad, and soloists into mainstream popularity, during her time the sleepy music was going on extinction as the Korea Music Industry has been flooded by girl groups and boy groups dancing to upbeat sounds. Thoughtful lyrics and music have almost been buried as EDM led the way, in a way it was IU who fought knit and grit that's why we can still see the music diversity in Korean Music today. She reminded people that there's more to music other than dance songs, that music can still be enjoyed by LISTENING rather than 'watching'. It was partly to her success in battling kpop that we can see the likes of Lee Hi, Akmu, Heize, Hyukoh, 10 cm, ZION T. even Day 6 in the mainstream. Furthermore, the time for soloist during her debut was almost gone as well, but it was IU who proved that you can be a soloist in the era of boy groups and girl groups and still be a success, that's why you can see people from boy groups and girl groups look up to her because they are seeing her as the role model that they can follow once the popularity of their groups starts to wane. But I don't want to dismiss Boa, because I wouldn't be too happy to know that someday when a new era of music arises and someone successful comes along and they start to discredit IU because of this new singer's or act's success , don't you think it's a disrespect to the work IU has done?

It's actually a good song, I like the upbeat sound but still soft and easy to the ears as I don't really like loud and noisy songs. Another thing is the lyrics, I'm not too fond of love songs, so I like this song. This long is easy to listen to and since it's not too upbeat it can be listened to over and over again without the listener getting easily sick with it. I have observed my music taste to resonate that of the Korean Public, aside from IU I also like the works of most of the other artist contending on the top, as I like this song Celebrity, I kinda understand why it's raking up the charts.
