Actually, it is either a KPopper or a Trottist. Most other genres all withered

This. Koreans have always praised her songwriting, they always seem to resonate to Koreans and are the main reason why they're so successful. If you're not Korean or don't have a Korean explain it to you, it's hard for non-Koreans to understand and appreciate it.
It's not surprising seeing I-fans hate on a young, successful woman. Once I read the lyrics for Blueming and saw someone explain it, I learned to appreciate her songwriting alot more.
The main reason why Celebrity is so successful is again, because of the resonating lyrics telling you to love and enjoy yourself. Also her use of songwriting is really good, and these lyrics/message are really helpful during times of covid.
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

Out of all the songs she had released, BBiBBi is the only genuine KPop song making some mark outside of Korea, although this song is trying by using Ryan Jhun and some foreign composers.

Her lyrics are Korean and it is hard for non-Koreans to appreciate it

Lee Jieun used to release experimental songs until the Zeze controversy. After that, she grew too big to adventure, although she has met people doing hip hop and might release some songs in that genre in her upcoming album which has not been announced yet.

Not after she posted a certain photograph with a species of fish

Yes but Korea and neighbouring countries dealt with the pandemic a lot more efficiently than the US or Europe. Everything is currently closed, including the borders for now, and there is no telling when concerts and cultural gatherings will be allowed again.
It's very brave of Celine Dion and Harry Styles to plan a tour this year, but with how uncertain the situation is, it might not even happen.
I think they do have to continue to have concerts to cover their loans since they would rather not sell their possessions for a loss.
In Korea, it is the companies bearing the losses (except IU, but she is domestic and is not subject to the lack of overseas concerts), and the companies do have to answer to the govt and the stockholders, making a fast action harder.

Not a good idea even if outdoors and with decreased capacity. I'd rather this entire pandemic be completely over before such events take place again. I'm willing to wait just so everyone stays safe. It's better to just use this time to work on ourselves so we can enjoy all these great things once the pandemic is over.
Companies have to make money, though. Domesticists like IU and the trottists are doing fine, but acts who have to make lots of money from outside Korea are hurting

I doubt international kpop concerts will start again until idols get vaccinated and currently SK does not have a vaccination plan (they're waiting to see which vaccines are most effective). Kpop Concerts aren't coming back until 2022.
Idols and their staff will be getting priorities when they leave Korea. You know how the world works. They are like diplomats.

I am holding tightly to my MOTS floor tickets
Hope you can use it this year. Yes, Koreans are really vulnerable to peer pressure, so even if foreign singers do have concerts, the Koreans might refrain because of govt influences.

Not straight away but if COVID ever buggers off they will resume shows. I’m sure the groups are missing them.
The money they are missing out is simply ENORMOUS. They will try to start overseas tours, which will be less criticized by Koreans as that occurs outside of Korea and do not affect them directly, as soon as possible

Asians are less stupid when it comes to this and actually care about covid so I doubt it, they will keep doing online concerts through 2021
Or, more totalitarian. The peer pressure is enormous enough to discourage independent action.

Plus a few others who are popular, like Gidle. Acts like Dreamcatcher do have to go out since they don't make too much being stuck in Korea.
