The knetizens debated about nj popularity

I do agree their core fanbase doesn't seem too strong at all. They need to work on that. But it's hard to argue their popularity in SK when like every idol alive has talked about them/danced Hype Boy.

As far as YT views go, it's pretty clear they don't buy a ton of ads or make MVs designed for mass streaming. Once you take away the ads, most MVs from big groups put up similar numbers.

This site shows YT views without ads/bots:

From what you shared, it looks like newjeans don’t have a large fandom but they have gp and casual fans.

they kinda got the digimon thing going on, cept they sold 800K

I don't think newj has a hardcore fandom yet, but they def have the attention of gp. If they keep on releasing successful bops then they'll def build a fanbase.

not coming for the youtube views when literally they have 0 ads and most of the kpop mvs actual views are like 60 70 80 % of ads

newjeans views are 100% organic

newjeans is probably the act with the most organic views and streams . the numbers dont lie

are you coming for newjeans mv views but how about their music on youtube music?

people who actually listen to newjeans are literally 100% into their music

spotify

people are coming for their playlist but before any playlist they were still getting huge numbers now HYBE is just doing what a normal company would do

now look at this list ( not updated they are at 14.9M now) they are only behind BP, The ronettes, little mix and 5H

that's crazy huge. they will probably pass destiny's child by tomorrow

people are just really INTO their music now they just need to solidify their fandom

I don't think most 4th gen girl groups have stable fandoms who'll go out of their way to vote for them. Why is it that when it comes to voting, it's still almost always Twice vs BP for #1? We know album sales are bought in bulk these days so I don't know if that's a good indicator of fandom anymore.

But they're going great digitally and they have the public's interest, so I think NewJeans will only grow.

Bragging about yt views in 2023

Op, Itzy chesire had 40+ millions in first week but their real views ended up being 16. There's nothing wow about yt views anymore because they are heavily inflated by ads

This is literally a pann post. A toxic echo chamber and cesspool more than any accurate representation of what Korean fans think of, well, anything.

No thanks.

you should post the knetz comments to see what they are talking about

STOP

Jealousy always seems to make some kpop fans say the stupidest things

So they do have a mid sized fandom, which will only grow more. Let’s see what the future brings for newjeans

The main question mark for me is how their album sales dont match up to their fanvotes. I dunno what Mubeat voting is, i dunno if it's limited to Korea or includes I Fans, but look at how low NJ Mubeats votes are compared to even their contemporaries like Ive, Kepler, Itzy and LSRFM who have 4x the number of votes. This would imply that NJ doesnt have much of a fanbase and all their support comes from GP and casuals, yet they also have huge album sales (over 800k preorders), more than Kepler and almost as much as LSRFM.

It's weird

Imo buying an album is way easier, nowadays is so accesible too, so many sites to buy it

Voting takes time, if u have never done it u need to install apps for each voting and make multiple accounts and all that take time, time casual fans simply won't waste. Buying an album may take 10m, listening to a song in Spotify or yt 3m but voting constantly can take at least 1 hour or more

Not eveybody Stan like that

Good charting doesn't mean they have the fandom to vote them.

Most likely just casual listener which is completely normal.

Casuals have better things to do than vote on MuBank

Actually the same thing are also roughly happened with ive...

They had high stream, high sales yet their voting is weaker than mid tier group.

For IVE case, it's because of their demography. The high sales are coming from mothers or aunties who bought the abums for their kids or nephew/nieces. Those babies also stream like a bot (but they are just far more cuter).

But for voting, many of them didn't even know what a voting is

Maybe the same case could be happened with NewJeans too, but for voting stuff, the reason they are low maybe just like the other said, their core fandom are still growing, and the gp only knows the song (since voting are usually a fandom's activity)
