Will Newjeans win the July comeback war, or will Itzy/Zerobase1/Jungkook sneak up like G-idle?

beach bag seals the deal, this one is for the summer girls

Im afraid they will clear the floor

actually I have so much faith in new jeans, so much so that I am not afraid to say that I know jungkook will beat out new jeans, but they will still remain on top even though they will lose because they never really lost in the first place, even though they will still be beaten out by jungkook and zero base one, I know they will dominate because I know they will win even if they are far behind while still being far ahead, I really believe in them so much it's really the truth, but we don't have to worry about itzy because we know where they will be, flop nation, right beside new jeans. but they will come out on top. they will. #realtalk #newjeansnation #daebak

The charts are packed atm. Let's see, NewJeans and Super Shy about to block themselves if anything. PAKs might be harder since EXO, ZB1, NCT Dream fanbases are really strong atm. Given that JK will be a big competition everywhere. Itzy is unpredictable but I'm positive they will do well this comeback. NJ other titles ETA, Cool With You dropping on July 21st which means leave them at least a few spots on top 20 lol for the whole album.

Jungkook is my Golden Maknae too but the way BTS' solo releases have gone so far with none getting over 220k ULs and falling out of charts at warp speed...i think if you're a Hybe stan, you're gonna have a bad time next month, we will be seeing Army vs Tokki fighting like crazy with other stans egging them on.

I'm actually wondering wtf Hybe was thinking putting JK against NJ. Literally ONLY bad things can come from this. If NJ wins as expected, Army are gonna be pissed and tons of antis will be using NJ as tokens to shade the fugg out of JK/BTS even more calling them over the hill, has beens, cant beat rookie girls, all soloists are flops and have no name recognition with GP, etc etc.

And if JK pulls off a shocker and beats NJ, boy oh boy, you're gonna have MYs, Fearnots, Dives, Nevvies lined up around the block to make fun of NJ, saying they've lost their luster, they're going downhill, saying how all their faves ended Suga/RM/Jimin/Jhope/Jin in the charts but that NJ couldnt do it, etc etc. It will be a credibility blow to NJ to not be able to dominate the way Ive and Idle dominated the past couple months even against Jimin and Suga.

It's a no win situation.

As for Itzy, i just feel bad for the girls. They could get swallowed up like my girl Yena did when she came back right into the teeth of NJs debut.

As for ZB1, no one is expecting #1 out of them, so i think they might be ok. They have a massive fandom already, they could reach top 10 in Melon Top 100 as counterprogramming to the NJ invasion. It will be good enough.

When the hell did I-DLE need o sneak up on anything?

And Ive was never in a comeback war this year.

But I'm sure AKP buzzfeed already knew that.

NewJeans will be realising 6 MVs presumably all through July i'm sorry but other groups don't stand a chance

It's basically NJ month

Itzy is July 31 so if their songs are good,they might make waves in August

you forgot Taylor Swift!!!

Jungkook playing field is on international side. Im sure army's are more focus on His Spotify Charting and Hot 100 and Billboard 200 ranking. Zerobaseone is the most anticipated debut this year but im sure theyre not touching that top 1 spot on Melon or any digital charts, a top 50 is already considered a success for them.

Anything can happen in kpop, look at NJs.

I would favor NJs at this time, as MJH most probably has a stockpile of very good songs for the next couple of comebacks and she has the best feel on what the general Korean public currently like.

No one will stand a chance against Jungkook

Korean public currently like Girl Groups. Its not about songs or genre tbh.

Jungkook ain’t sneaking up on anyone. He will come in like a fucking earthquake meets a tsunami that snacked on an atomic bomb

international charting, yes

for the kr chart, the public favor the ggs more.

400,000 public just showed up at a firework display for BTS. I think JK is getting way underestimated

Thought Itzy would get their chance to shine but they'll be buried alive damn

korean charts... NEW JEANS!

They will occupy top 15 will all their songs!

international charts.... JUNGKOOK!

I notice karmy kinda divided right now..

Though they are mostly ot7, they mostly will support their biases more then other members..

I dont blame them cos they want each individual to shine...

Ot7 full support will resume in 2025!!

So imo, jungkook song will occupy somewhere in top 20...

probably new jeans

but it is BTS, not JK

I know JK is debatable about the most popular members, but other member songs are not doing well for BTS standards on the kr chart.

so he is a dark horse and depends on whether the public like the song or not as well

Jungkook was never confirmed for July

His preorders are late already so it is almost impossible to have his album debut next month.

People can exclude him from dumb narratives until then, thanks

Jungkook just recently said last Saturday that he will talk to the company about doing offline events so he's album is not yet finalized.

newjeans ofc

I mean, considering NJ's popularity, I definitely think that they will win the July comeback war long term, but I think many other artists will shine as well.

where were all 400k during other members releases ?

karmys prefer to support group releases more than solo releases

Obviously, his solo will be successful , but it's more like you're overestimating. He has a chance, but rn sk is gg land

Quote from KpopJop

you forgot Taylor Swift!!!

I'm starting to stan both Taylor and Newjeans oh july 7th is gonna be both heaven and hell LMFAO

Newjeans will top the charts, that's no secret. Each groups should be held to different goals to see if they can succeed, ITZY has to chart well this time to show that Cheshire was a one time thing, ZB1 has to chart to show BGs can still be cared about in Korea. Everyone can succeed without everyone being in the top 3 y'know!

I know who will win MY HEART and that's all that matters to me

This, unless his preorders drop this week or next, he is mostly not debuting in July with an album.

Like other said, I think JK will debut later. And for Korea, newjeans will dominate. Won’t be surprise if all of their songs will line up 1-6 on Melon. I’m calling it now.

NJ promo is already amazing with this create your own powerpuff and 3 tts. They gonna dominate for sure.

As a Zerobaseone stan, I don't think they're competing with other groups for now, their challenge is to debut with a good song to mantain their hype and be included in top bgs discussions. Like other user said, a top50 is a win for them. Gp isn't interested in bgs at all, we can't expect them to have a hit at debut when no 4th gen group was able to make a hit even after 4 or 5 years.

I think New Jeans will win the battle because NJs are the most trendy GG rn and Ador is smart, they're going all out with promo plus good songs.

For Jungkook, probably not his album but his pre-release song will join the war. The outcome will depend very much on the song because I'm pretty sure it will be in English and more pop-ish than other members' releases. we'll see.

Depends on the song tbh.

But JK all the way!!!

Then Njs.

I thought the JK debut was not confirmed for July?

It’s obviously New Jeans. They will line up the charts for months let’s be real. They have no competition because they’ve already far surpassed it

Woah, NewJeans are really pullin’ out all the stops! but ya never know; Itzy has been known to sneak up and surprise us. It's going to be an intense battle for the July comeback war!
