i gotta say that everyone and their mother question every other company except for hybe for charting high on the charts and high album sales but little impact irl
"they bought ads, they bribed music shows, company bought the albums, fans are doing manipulations, thanks to their us labels "
its just what i've noticed
Is this about new jeans again? I don't even like them much but why are you guys so threatened?
I am not a fan so I don't know much about the stats but they seem to have well rounded numbers in everything. Okay hybe bought album sales? did the buy korean digitals as well? Hybe doesn't even buy them YT ads which is the easist way to show fake hype so what makes you think they will buy all these other things.

why do you think it's bout that rookie?
I'm the first one to question hybe and their management/Actions, but hybe isn't known to fake numbers. They are a shady company, who're very eager to mediaplay whatever to convince stockholders they arent useless without bts, but almost everything adds up numberwise.
Charting: except for bts & their ggs no one charts very well in that company (and those are easily explained since bts is bts & Korea is obsessed with ggs atm).
Sales: there's a whole album sale rise going on in kpop, every single groups album is selling like hot cakes. We can have a discussion about how questionable they are when groups have 7+ different, cheap versions + digipacks + ...., But that's a kpop problem, bot Just hybe.
YouTube: hybe is one of the few companies that doesn't buy views & that's very noticable since most of their groups (except for bts) does worse than their peers on that platform.

so what you are saying is hybe is clean and maybe the cleanest
If knetz are not questioning nj charting, why would we do that? I thought everyone knew newjeans have 10 version of their albums? Plus who wouldn't buy those bags? lol
they're perfect for marketing.
Ive also have 9 versions for their upcoming album. It's the only way ggs (i don't keep up with what bgs do to sell 1m, so don't @ me about it) can sell that much.
Some reliable source idk remember which though said Txt was the second bg popular after bts in the usa? Like they either sold a lot or had the most streaming after bts? I remember twice was the gg. Plus they have bts hoobae tag which helped them gain lots of fans.
Idk enhypen though and how they were able to sell 1m. I did hear they are popular in Japan and maybe SEA? Maybe that's how
Them not using ads shows the real number of k-pop. Meanwhile aespa and itzy had 20?30? million paid ads. So that's why they're not that suspicious.
That's because hybe groups success makes sense out of the big 4 they use the least amount of dirty tactics.
I can tell OP is about nwjns so understand that their success was by chance they came out the right time with a good song/promotion and they are blowing up in SK rn so it's no surprise.
I think some people want there to be a scandal/issue. 
Not in album sales no. Sans bts who devour in index and everything else, I have noticed many hybe groups’ index for cheap album versions is lower than their sales amount. Meaning they don’t make profit. Newjeans and other 4th gen hybe groups cheap versions compared to Stray kids, aespa and nct dream this year have the lowest index to sales ratio. For the latter groups even their cheap album versions don’t have that much more sale amount than their index numbers.
Exhibit a)
The number on top is the sales amount and the number below is the physical record index. More index= profit/ same number to sales= No difference/ less index= loss.

It’s not that they don’t sell well or that they are fraud but it’s inflated the most with cheap versions to the point it’s making them lose but hybe seems to compensate the loss with doing the opposite to bigger groups especially bts selling very expensive albums in less versions. Eventually to investors the company’s results look like they are distributed evenly between the groups that sell many albums when in fact it mostly relies on bts.
clean is a big word
hybe, just like most kpop companies, uses nth versions of their groups' albums for ridiculous cheap prices etc.. in my opinion, that's a dirty tactic to inflate sales. HOWEVER, it's a tactic every company does, so it's mostly that hybe doesn't buy views on yt & only the explainable groups are charting well that makes hybe seem cleaner than other big companies.
