Within 8 months of its debut, NewJeans have left every 4th Gen acts behind, and only the 1,344 years old Lee Jieun stands between NJ and BTS.
A fight between NJ and Lee Jieun is very likely in the autumn of this year, and assuming NJ defeats Lee Jieun, as likely given the way things are progressing now, Min Heejin and Ador will probably take over the running of the entire Hybe organization with the tacit approval of Mr. Bang, who now appears to prefer to play boss than actually doing anything.
Which means Min Heejin, who has a boy group experience since she ran Shinee, will get to call the shots over how BTS is run.
Armies probably watched the rise of NewJeans and Min Heejin with indifference, but now there is a very strong chance that she will get to run the Entire Hybe Idols while the BTS members languish in the military camps.
That was the danger of not abandoning K-O-R-E-A. The members' patriotism was paid by betrayal, the K-O-R-E-A-N-S elected IU then New Jeans as their darlings, and now NewJeans, Ador and Min Heejin are coming to take over Hybe and run BTS according to Min Heejin's whims.
Min Heejin had run Shinee, and also contributed forming SNSD and EXO. Only Lee Jieun stood against Min Heejin's acts and now Lee Jieun is in a real danger of being swept away by NJ, and by the time most of the BTS members return to civilian life, Min Heejin will probably be running BTS as well.
What would the members do? They are stuck in Hybe until 2027.
Like Lee Jieun, who underestimated New Jeans' potential and did nothing to check its progress in 2022 when she still had some power, Armies probably didn't see NewJeans' very rapid rise and journey to the top of KPop.
Now the Armies will have to worry about how an Ador-run BTS will look like. I don't know how strongly RM can resist Min Heejin trying to reinvent BTS, but now it is a real possibility every Army will have to contemplate.
