The biggest news of 2024 is not Shohei Ohtani's marriage or the Reiwa Roman double crown, but rather the departure of Falan from TEMPEST.

The tweet translates to: "The purchasing agent BUYEE has purchased over 70 TEMPEST Phalan Je-won trading cards in the #Card_Idol category. ▼For details, click here jp.mercari.com/item/m58511160…"

The tweet translates to: "It's terrible how I ended up using Tempest's defense and then missed a kill by banishing a large monster from the graveyard, or how I used Super Polymerization before gaining graveyard advantage and ended up with a disadvantage."

The former member of TEMPEST, Mr. Phalan, was forced to leave the agency and hit rock bottom, but it seems like he's now become a popular influencer on social media, going viral in the military. I feel a sense of his rise against the odds, and I imagine the agency is regretting losing such an incredible person (wishful thinking).

"I watched the past music videos of Tempest and couldn't help but laugh because Farhan was just too good. He really was a huge asset. It must have been quite painful for them when he left."

It's not solidly based on iE, so it's just speculation, but since "tempest" is quite a song that relies on Farhan's rap for the comeback, could it be that after he left, the songs became more subdued and less dynamic? Like "unfreeze" and "In the dark"...

"I'm happy to have found Son Je-won's (former Tempest) Instagram."

"My timeline is filled with as much Son Jae-won as it is with 80s."

The tweet translates to: "With SoHo in the center for 'Golden', and SongKyu and SungJaeWon on either side as a strong lineup, the visuals are so powerful that it makes me want to shout."

The translation of the tweet is: "I really want to give a present to Hyuk this year, so if anyone knows the details about applying for TEMPEST's fan support, could you please let me know? Or I would like to send it anonymously through a gift service (though that might be difficult)."

"I just found out that Je-won from Tempest went to the military after leaving the group 😫😫 I'm surprised by how much he's changed, he looks so different! I've been watching him since DSP N, and I really thought he had a scattered career, but I'm relieved to see he's still rapping in the military."

The tweet translates to: "Group 1 had a thin and frail body, but now they are bigger and thicker than anyone in Tempest, and they have a certain presence (Grandma Farang-kun is already....)"
