NewJeans is facing controversy amid an ongoing feud with HYBE/ADOR and CEO Min Hee Jin. The group is currently on an indefinite hiatus, yet their music is still climbing the charts.
Korean netizens are buzzing over their performance, noting, “Regardless of public perception, their songs must have been genuinely good… They’re still ranked 4th on Spotify’s K-pop Artist chart (the only girl group in the top 5), and they’re even in the top 10 for YouTube streaming.”
The controversy began when fans expressed disappointment over NewJeans’ situation, questioning what their success could look like under normal circumstances. There’s a fear they could be forgotten if this feud continues.
“They should’ve been more humble after receiving good songs.”
“It’s downward for them.”
“If only those good songs were sung by kind idols, how great would that be?…”
Some are comparing their plight to other artists, saying:
“When you look at many singers who’ve faced controversies, they stay on the charts for a bit, but eventually fade away…”
Concerned fans say:
“The more people stream NewJeans’ songs, the higher the penalty fee for them will be. People know that and still stream.”
“I miss NewJeans so much.”
Many want to see NewJeans back in action:
“I really, really want to see a new album or tour from NewJeans."
“Without the feud, they would’ve made it bigger and gone higher.”
The momentum is strong for NewJeans’ music, but the future remains uncertain. Will they bounce back? Fans are left waiting.
