NewJeans vs Ive in Rookie of The Year Awards

  • Who you think should win? 60

    1. Ive (35) 58%
    2. NewJeans (25) 42%

    Who you think should get the award?


    Ive did very well with Eleven and then demolished the competition with Love Dive arguably the biggest kpop hit thus far in 2022, followed by a 1 million physical sold combined 2 single albums. Much above any expectations even for a post-iZone group


    But then NewJeans debuted taking kpop by a storm, 3 songs in top 10, unheard in this current day and age including #1 (with over 500k ULs an growing) and #2. They also somehow managed to get 2 songs on top 200 on Spotify, something no 4th gen girlgroup did. Their physicals weren't too shabby either, with over 450k copies sold in 10 days pre order.


    So this is very likely the strongest ROTY battle in kpop. Even groups who could have easily swaped the title a couple of years ago like Les Serafim and Kepl1r don't stand a chance against this two titanic forces, but who deserves to win?

  • wow


    we havent had this thread for a good 24hs


    It was about the time


    but to indulge you its still IVE

  • I voted for NJ, my reasoning is the following:


    Ive did very very good, but seems a normal path for a top group with a huge hype and fandom backed by iZone members


    NJ did all this is WITHOUT any preexisting fandom or hype, as none of its member has a dedicated fandom . They just debuted and exploded. Plus while Ive numbers are doable for a follow up, NJ did something that looked kinda of impossible in their debut

    BIG4 group with minhee pedo


    wtf r u on about

  • You’re just gonna get newjeans dragged with this thread lol akp loves ive and many feel resentment for newjeans

    But anyway most award shows are probably gonna award both groups (literally they’d already done that many times before) so no one will go home empty handed, so idk why people keep fighting each other over this not even very important award when both groups are gonna win :pepe-shrug:

  • BIG4 group with minhee pedo

    I won't pick this fight, sorry. But here is my Attention to you

  • Then I have one more reason to pick NewJeans!

    lol we already know you did, but it’s annoying to see this thread being made 20 times and every single time peeps will shade newjeans in various ways (tacitly and overtly) and claim only ive deserves to win. it’s tiresome to read and not even a productive discussion anymore bc the outcome is the same every time

  • Ive is literally the first post produce group to succeed. And it’s not like they come from big 4, they don’t have the company stans to hype them up

    They are the first to succeed, but they aren't the first to have a big fandom. They have the winner of Produce


    NJ has 10 days to amass a fandom they just debuted with good music and people liked them, as we can see with so many songs of them charting. Their re debut hype was nonexistent because people didn't even knew they were going to debut, remember their first song was pretty much a surprise release

    Well I don't care for any of this. I'm old, too old to be bothered by i-netzens shades or anything like that. I created this thread to engage in arguments and to hype NewJeans a bit. Just learn to ignore the butthurt jealousy and delusional antis

    i don’t agree with people scoffing at the idea that a debut this explosive and historic doesn’t deserve to win any roty awards. regardless of any competition, if newjeans wins it’s not such a crime like people act it is. at the same time I don’t agree either with your thinking that people claiming ive should win are all jealous and delusional antis. ive deserves to win too for their very impressive achievements. if either group wins it’s only deserved, and I don’t appreciate people downplaying either group and acting like it’s a heinous unthinkable crime should either group win

  • The debut first and they did better :pepe-shrug:


    Maybe that will change seeing how attention, hype boy, and cookie do in the long run but for now it’s Ive easily

    Except they didn't! NJ is doing better if we compare day by day chart and sales performance


    Sure, we need more time to see which one does better in the long run, but right now NJ started off stronger (and without an iZone member)

    Ive might have Army and Hybestan support who ignored Lesserafim cause of Ssamkura's ties to Izone/Produce/CJ.


    This could be the difference between 250k UL (Lesserafim) and 500k UL (Newjorts).

    NJ got their ULs because their song is great and resonate a lot with koreans. It didn't debuted straight to #1, it took their time and needed promotions it raised like an standard kpop hit. What happened with them is PURE CHARTING MAGIC. Do you have any idea how hard is for a girlgroup to chart 3 songs inside of a ranking based on unique listeners? I don't even know when was the last time it happened, 2NE1 after Crush release?


    Serafims debut is something akin to Eleven, they both have roughly similar fandoms and hype from Produce and iZone, but ultimately Ive released a true smash hit with Love Dive with Serafims are yet to make a comeback

  • Okay, Ive will win. End of discussion. Now, let's listen to this-

    >>> 2022.06.10 <<<IMG-4283.jpg

  • Are we gonna pretend that Ive isnt by miles the highest charting 4th gen group internationally and that is what puts them far ahead than other 4th gen groups? Yall acting like thats an easy feat lol

    NJ charted 2 songs on top 200 at the same time. Plus on Spotify:


    Royal and Take it - 10 million

    Cookie - 8.8 million (in less than 20 days)

    Hurt - 6.5 million


    I'm not sure, NJ seems more consistent with all their album being streamed. Cookie will easily surpass 50 million and Hurt 30 million. And both Attention and Hype Boy are clear 100 million+ songs too. This all with only one EP. This will have the biggest female kpop album on Spotify after Blackpink, that's huge

  • Because nwjs had a better debut, I've longevity for 8 months becomes irrelevant. This is rookie of the year not debut of the year. What happens when njs doesn't hit big on the next comeback or doesn't comeback within the same year. Your going to discredit the accumulated hits that I've put out?

    NJ released 2 big hits and one moderate hit with one single debut (and almost half million albums without Produce hype), are you descrediting this only because Ive debuted early?

  • We will see if they got high streams for their b-sides without 4 music videos.

    I didn't know music videos streams counted towards Spotify :woow:


    Please stop it. NJ videos is by far their weakest spot, literally all track have more audio streams than video streams, people are barely checking out their videos if at all. Their songs have much streams because they are all good, end

  • anyway siked for after like tmr


    The ending scene will the fireworks would have been my sig if not for the dark lord comeback

  • Cookie is considered a title track and was promoted on music shows, and both Hurt and Cookie have MVs released in a channel with over 60M subscribers :pepe-shrug: Royal and Take It were never promoted and they only perform it on events, they didnt even released dance practice for it. So is it even comparable?


    Ive have everything Newjeans have and they actually showed growth with many people saying they wouldn't outdo Eleven just for them to release Love Dive and double their stats in everything. Its too early to tell if Newjeans will show the same type of growth or will peak at debut like Itzy.


    Love Dive is the highest charting 4th gen song on Billboard and Spotify global, the highest charting 4th gen song in Japan this year and also now the longest charting GG song on Apple music surpassing HYLT. If NJ can stay on top5 for +4 months like Love Dive and do just as well internationally with just their debut or comeback, than maybe they will deserve it just as much as Ive.

    Are you serious? Music videos and music promotions boost streams on Spotify that’s not rocket science. For example Itzy biggest b-sides (excluding shoot) have higher streams because they either had a dance practice, promoted on music shows or got a MV. Even LSR b-sides have better streams than Take it and Royal.

    IVE has only 2 singles while NJ has 3 singles from the same album. It would’ve been weird if their streams weren’t higher than IVE’s bsides.

  • They are the first to succeed, but they aren't the first to have a big fandom. They have the winner of Produce

    Well, no. Their dedicated fandom isn't that big. They even struggling in music show votes ^^

    I've seen many dives on twitter that stressed out because they can't win only because they still don't have a good amount of dedicated fandom that will do voting. A kpop show analysis account even had 1 tweet saying "Finally, with the help of dive's live vote IVE is winning..." because weeks before that, they're always losing just because the fan votes.


    Which actually is a normal thing you know? Back then for a 4 or 5 months old rookie group and even coming from the non big 4.


    They can be big because gp loves their song.


    And if you say that they're backed by wizone, well, at the beginning they even get attacked by wizone themselves, leaving only the annyeong stan.

    The point is how many girlgroups can have 3 hits at the same time? None. The reason why companies doesn't release more than one single for comeback is precisely because they know only one really hits and the other has lukewarm chart performance it at all. NJs never intended to release 3 hits at the same time, this was just a pleasant surprise but guys here are thinking this is like nothing when in reallity most of groups aren't able to put a single song with the size of Cookie let alone 3 and one being on Tomboy/Love Dive level (Attention)

    Of course MVs and stages help streams, but turning into a HIT? This is far out of reach of any music performance and MV, specially when they are performing 4 damn songs at the same time


    They aren't ony high, they far far far far bigger. I mean, we are talking about a group who will have 3 hits at the same time, do you think anyone else can pull this besides Blackpink?


    NJ is doing what nobody else does, 3 hit singles charting at the same time is something GG can't do since 2nd generation hence why most companies don't even bother promoting anything outside the title track


    But people here pretends this is not meaningful, I don't get it

    Not many girlgroups can have 3 hits at the same time because nearly none of them release 3 singles at the same time. Blackpink did it before at debut and it worked well, but we don't even need to go that far as g idle also had a massive hit with Tomboy and My Bag that also did really well on charts. Both examples had videos and music show promotion.
