It seems like she is releasing roughly around the same amount of new songs as always...
So I don't get why everyone is getting so worked up just because there's 4 interludes.
Had she released more than 2 singles prior to this album, the interludes could have been easily reduced and/or replaced with those songs but none-the-less, it would probably still end up being the same amount of new songs.
It's just not as shocking from that point of view since it doesn't seem like interludes are taking up a whole lot of the album. Instead, people just ignore the amount of old material.
I, personally, am still super excited for this album.
And I can't wait to see the PVs!
Not to mention, with her tour coming up soon, any interlude she uses will get their own mini PV
