The way people just write anything in here 

No one is touching BP’s numbers globally such as sales, streams, views, charts, popularity etc., like the gap is so big 

 

BP literally is the most balanced Kpop group in terms of success, since they are successful in every metric

NewJeans  It’s what Min Heejin deserves, she’s a genius. SNSD, f(x), Shinee, NewJeans  the mother of Kpop. 

[Witnessed ET]

I think people are just comparing NJ with BP just because both their debut success was quite similar and now NJ seems to be getting bigger judging by those Spotify numbers. They ain’t replacing BP anytime soon though. 

now I’m curious to see how IVE will do. If they can’t match that success with their next cb, I think it’s fair to say NJ will be BP’s successors….although it’s kinda early to tell. 

[BigBangStan]

I'll wait another year, It's too early to denote them as Blackpink successors, most new girl groups are hot for one year and then underperform, look at ITZY, also Baemon is coming. They could be the next BP too. 

[k4rmabutterfly]

Ratmys trying to start a BP vs NJ fanwar  embarrassing. They’re going to switch anyways. 

[Dialamba]

Sometimes I think people are praying for GG downfall every time they say they’re BP successors 

[fauxtography]

BP has the intrigue of tap water at this point why are we still talking about them

So the Armys are behind NJ now, while paying LSRF dust? 

 

Alot of them bashed LSRF after they joked about winning a Grammy and getting a BB #1 so 

[Pluto6]

The fanwar between armys and BP is probably the biggest and most toxic fanwar ever Like it has being going on FOR AGES. 

 

Twitter is basically BP vs BTS and Cardi B vs Nicki Minaj

NewJeans won’t be BP sucessors. There are groups like aespa, (G)-Idle and ITZY already that follow the BP print.  NewJeans is more like TWICE + Red Velvet, there’s 0 BP in them. They’re probably going be the next BIG girl group tho.

txt translations telling us the tracklist one month ahead

newjeans are too powerful

too bad i don't feel this song

 

[Pluto6]

It’s interesting how all the SKZ members managed to snatch solo songs before the TWICE members 

I need my Momoriah and Chae Minaj solos as well JYP

this, also, they all have that star factor and unique quality that’s missing for most of the groups

it’s not about the formula and their music style, it’s about the girls’ charisma and uniquess, they have that natural something and it factor that makes them stand out among all kpop groups and we have a lot of those 

 

like, they were able to gather a lot of interest right off the bat, all girls are equally interesting and they kinda started „the revolution”, like, are the clear sensation of their gens

 

at least that’s why I’m comparing both groups and see NJ as potential BP’s successors 

 

they have all of the things to be the next staple and representative gg of their generation, the team behind them just needs to play it right since people are clearly there for them

Well, I agree. But even when it comes to success, they seem to be following a different trajectory from BP. Yes, they both have successful debuts but BP wasn’t considered the top GG WW until 2018 and the top GG in Korea until 2020. NewJeans is a phenomenon, BP was a slow burner especially in Korea (yes, it’s YG’s fault / strategy but it’s what it is). NewJeans is much more like Wonder Girls, TWICE, 2NE1 - phenomenons.

We can say the same thing for every groups under HYBE but this is sole because NewJeans hit big world wide thank to music and global listeners not a particular fandom  I have never seen people said Le Sserafim, ENHYPEN etc were popular because a particular fandom (Hypocrisy fr) like those groups are produced by Bang Si-Hyuk while MHJ had to leave Source Music because she didn’t want to share her ideas with him 

I saw big armys accounts tweeting about NJ and a lot of them support them and token stan them. And that’s why some armys are fuming. You just have to go on twitter. A lot of NJ fans are Hybe fans, just like a lot of group from the big 4.
 

LSRFM are not liked by the armys especially the karmys even since they filmed in a luxurious hotel. They accused them to enjoying too much Bts money .

IVE are the New Twice. Their popularity in Japan is so big. I’m waiting for NJ next sales but IVE are a monster seller and they might sell 2millions next cb.

 

+ the Gallup ranking showed that IVE was bigger than NJ

BPs debut single literally had a PAK  But anyways i agree that NewJennies seem to be bigger in Korea in their first year than BP in their first year but you definitely CANT compare their first years globally when k-pop is literally 10 times bigger now globally than 6 years ago  There is a reason why everyone is suddenly selling so much

[Kummercell]

ratmys hate women in kpop so obviously there's no correlation between NJ's smashery and ratmys' support.

NJ being from HYBE was a huge push tho

the Garamgate did put off a lot of people during debut (including me)

I'm glad they're bouncing back
