We HAVE thought about it and discussed it for over a year in here. A lot of people in here are not part of that crowd and do not like newjeans. Its not anybody's fault that you're just finding out about them and want to be part of a conversation that you're clearly not equipped to be involved in. Go back to looking at aoty.org and gloating over mitski and fiona's wailing vocals over out of tune pianos please. 

So you have nothing to add at all, okay got it baby!
I will go back to AOTY and listen to Fiona Apple, I'll literally do that. You go ahead and enjoy your UK garage sang by a bunch of teenagers

Please think and hard why a group of minors making mediocre music led by a creative director infamously renowned for pedophilic imagery is making the biggest waves in a genre already known for its mistreatment of minors. Please think about that before you come for me about "no critical points or thinking skills" LMAO

You would have to be actually sick in the head to see anything newjeans has done since their debut as sexual. The lyrics to cookie were odd but that's about it. The imagery is very normal teen pop group type stuff with bunnies and cardboard purses.

Hey, my hill to die on isn't a K-pop girl group full on minors blatantly sexualized by a bunch of middle-aged corporate drones for the masses, but you do you

Go look at Min Hee-jin's career trajectory and controversies

 

Also LMAAAAOOO you're really going to throw Sailor Moon, a beloved franchise and a source of nostalgia for most (gay) adults today who grew up with the show under the bus, just to defend a K-POP GIRL GROUP? Are you serious? Like..........really babes?

You have no idea what you're talking about. Coke behavior.

 

Bring the receipts or shut the **** up. These are very serious accusations you're throwing around over some lowest common denominator basic radio pop music. Did seeing their festival crowd really make you that jealous for your flop favs?

This new version of Hold On Tight though :superman:

 

Omg so they giving Hold On Tight a well deserved performance? :superman:

I'm so sad I wasn't able to snatch the tickets for the Chile date.

They should book more dates in Latin America and bigger avenues. I bet they would do great.

 

newjeans' most viewed videos on youtube:

 

1. Hype Boy official audio - 201m views

 

2. Attention official audio - 151m views

 

3. OMG official audio - 146m views

 

Their songs are literally more popular than their visuals   :giraffe:

haters really make newjeans sound like AKB48 with the way they moan and groan. but nothing that newjeans has done is as racy or exploitative as Tzuyu's underage elevator ad or BTS' maknae line flashing their abs onstage at 15-17.

I wish they had deals like BPs metlife concert where they're handing out free tickets to anybody who's willing to subject themselves to 3 hours of Jisoo's off key yelping and Jennie's horrible performing that either she or blinks will invent a condition to excuse it with after the fact. With deals like that I could attend the whole tour.

The audacity when Adspa will never play to an audience even half as big as born pink tour :giraffe:

 

Bp handing out free tickets? Where sis bp actually has matching streams sales touring which Aespa not anyone currently active from sm can say. We can talk about the fraud sales

Blinks were so quick to lay out those MHJ accusations and the sheep were too eager to cosign it and now we have locals who have never even seen any of pre-NJ Min Heejin's output talking a huge amount of **** about it because they saw something on twitter once or whatever. Amber's visuals were offensive but not for that reason!

 

Jealous stan lying is actually the biggest hurdle to kpop in the west right now.

How does my faves that eat **** and work the roads just to make a living have anything to do with K-pop idols that have massive labels backing them up LMAO

You know what, enjoy your girl group. It's really not my fault if you're willingly ignoring just why having a bunch of minors in an industry as such as K-pop is beyond ****** up

Literally only Fiona was (apparently). And every one of the artists I've put down on my signature or whatever built their careers according to their own accord, with no dirty 40 year old telling them what to do, sing, and wear. Anyways, like I said, enjoy your girl group!

Jealous stan lying is actually the biggest hurdle to kpop in the west right now.

I don't even care to defend MHJ, but the simple fact is that literally every K-pop company is exploitative of minors. JYP is infamous for giving sexy concepts to underage idols like Hyuna and Natty, I mean just watch Sixteen if you want to feel outraged  :coffee2:

 

BigHit made Jimin and Jungkook do very questionable things when they were teenagers, SM is the king of exploiting their idols, and YG was literally implicated in a scandal where real women were r*ped. And YG is coming out with babymonsters in a couple of months :biblio:

 

If k-pop stans cared nearly as much about minors as they claim to, they would just boycott the music industry altogether instead of just dragging newjeans, but we all know that's not the real reason they're so angry.

Actually, It does. You were answering to Pluto's post mentioning Stray Kids outstreamed TXT on US this year and how they are still charting in Artists Category saying they only did due their full-length released. 

 

But It isn't true. They outstreamed TXT on US even prior their full-length release with data from January to late May.

I think you misunderstood my post. Obviously skz has been outstreaming txt this whole time. They're a year older, not to mention they released more materialist year and an ep late in the year. Txt only released one EP with a lackluster single in the middle of last year. Them outstreaming them all year is not an accomplishment.

200m spotify streams pays out to 600k-1m USD. The rates are even worse for Youtube and (especially abysmal) Melon. In reality one or two aespa concerts can outgross/outearn the entire careers of certain groups who only exist on streaming.

We love a Spotify posion but can actually tour and draw in crowds :clap3:

Not a magic girl anime made for little girls. I knew the call was coming from inside the house with your insanely bothered post. 

Not you shading the Most Influential and Iconic Female Character of all time who pioneered the anime boom as a global export like that. Miss Usagi is a Gay and Feminist Icon. Put some respect to her name sis :bam:
