Is New jeans still at blackpink level or are they now beyond that & slowly ascending to bts level?

Quote from BTS-ae-1320

that's what i have been trying to tell someone that BTS made NewJeans debut in a HYBE owned sub-label big.

but some don't understand

you can just say BTS made the way for HYBE groups(boy and girls include)

yeah but ppl won't understand !

it's bad enough when we say "BTS paved the way for over-seas promotion (western promotion for the most part)" but they won't even listen to either

it's a lost cause

what with set up for NJ ?

they are 6 months old

stop comparing them. NEW JEANS IS 6 MONTHS OLD. duh, they will not be on bp level, they'll not be on BTS level. What NewJeans needs is rappers, yes Minji, but I feel like Hyein and Haerin could rap.

NJ already surpassed everyone else

Only Lee Jieun stands between NJ and BTS.

Until they get the same engagements and followers as BP I will believe they are the same level. But it’s like 80 million to go

I think its a bit premature to determine their potential success, although I do think they have a good chance of becoming really big. All the members can speak english too, which is great for attracting international fans.

By what metric are they ahead of BP though? You could argue they're the top group in Korea specifically at the moment but they aren't really peaking near where BP is internationally yet. Ditto at it's peak was doing under 4 million a week in the US whereas most BP comebacks since KTL have done at least 5 million, and globally their last two comebacks peaked at around 40 million. The same peaks for NJ are 3.9 million and 23 million respectively. iTunes peaks are like 70+ #1's for BP and only around 10 or so for NJ. They are huge and growing fast but to say they've surpassed them already is just silly.

he is a troll lol

setting up NJ, we know BP is the biggest gg right now.

I mean they debuted 6 months ago, who is the right mind to compare to BP ?

Quote from Flowercrew

you are obviously trolling

it's abs, ofc she's trolling

All I know is that they will remember taking down Twice and BP at Music Bank

Only BM can stop the NJ momentum

This is funny. Lol 6 months old group vs. 7 and 9 years old group/s.

Can you guys wait? They have the potential to be bigger though based on their achievements.

set up or not
they will compete w each other
just unavoidable
just enjoy the competition
you can still cheer for one or both group

*shrug*… they’re proper babies, so who knows?! Their debut success is staggering and nothing can take that away from them. If they continue to ride this hype and hit the musical trends that vibe with people, then they *could* surpass BP’s popularity - and if they do, YG should be feeling like fricking idiots for wasting BP’s potential.

However, they need to sustain success way beyond two mini albums to get close to BP and that will depend on their marketing and artistic direction, so seriously, who knows…!?

Also, K-fans/GP have history for picking up the latest hype girls but burning out quick. Same happened with Aespa…

BP managed longevity and sustained hype over years which is not to be sniffed at.
