No english release, no interview, no tv show, no collaboration. I'm not even sure if they spent more than a few days in the US yet. i just searched newjeans english interview and found like 6 how is that not promo and their songs are like %80 english anyways all the things you mentioned are literal examples of targeting US not saying there is anything wrong with it but to act like they are not focusing there is just false Edited March 28 by hallucinate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were always well known and supported by casuals. The thing is that they've never built a strong big fanbase there due to the dumspter fire that is their japanese career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those interviews are from the same events I mentioned. We expected them to take advantage of Getup and Lollapalooza success by releasing an English album and promoting in the US like other groups, but MHJ chose to debut in Japan instead Edited March 28 by geniecantstophypeboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ promotion cycles aren't short, they span over months and really feel like eras. They promoted Getup on Korean music shows for almost 2 months straight, when other groups promote for a couple weeks. And they also do many side quests on Korean TV, Radio and elsewhere. I expect Japanese promotion to be similar, it's going to be big, long and eventful. They haven't done promotion on that scale in the US yet. Maybe next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
