Did you expect Hanni to be this popular?

  • Honestly, when NewJeans debuted, I didn't think Hanni would get this popular. I knew the group was something special and people would gravitate towards them, but I didn't think Hanni would become the bias of so many fans domestically and internationally.


    This is an appreciation thread. When you factor in all the circumstances, it's amazing to see, really.

  • Not really tbh. Since she's Vietnamese. Even if she has the Korean visual.


    I knew she would get the SEA attention and support, but was not expecting her to be one of New Jeans more popular members in Korea.


    I knew Haerin and Minji would be big, but Hanni was a surprise.

  • no but it's nice to see especially after all that communism stuff that haters tried to pin on her

    That never was and never will be a big deal. She doesn't even have that many haters in comparison to other idols. The situation may have upset some Vietnamese politicians, but that's all there was to it. Honestly, I think the media was just trying to have something to talk about.


    Hanni is one of the idols who's universally loved.


    The only time I've seen significant hate coming her way was when toxic people accused her of copying Lisa. It's awful they really decided to pitch two Southeast Asian idols against each other like that.

  • I saw the potential. Just her vibes alone and her talent, that girl can be HUGE. Even as a solo and even hit big internationally :yesr:.

    But i do think that her loveliness and het voice takes her to levels in korea one couldn’t have expected from a non korean member.


    She's just that special <3.

  • Apart from her great performance abilities (vocals, dance, stage presence), I think she's found the perfect balance between Korean polite demureness and etiquette and Western bubbliness and spunk, which endears her to both sides.

  • the thing with Hanni is that, despite she is SEA, she fits the Korean Beauty Standard to certain extent. And that she is quite fair. Hence, koreans are more acceptance towards her than Lisa


    Both are similarly talented and are standout performer of their respective group. Visual is the only reason to explain why Koreans treats them differently

  • I did, she's the prettiest & coolest member


    I mean Dani is cool too but she is not built like hanni (figuratively speaking 💀)

    Dani is probably the most unexpected one for me. She is the 4th in popularity when I expected her to be top 2 given how everyone so hyped about her initially.


    I already know Hani gonna be popular, at least internationally ex Skor, Minji will be popular in Skor but Hqerin was such a surprise too

  • It’s interesting to me yes. There is no political bias that is attached to members from fellow NE Asian neighbors but at the same time wasn’t Korea active in wrongdoings in the Vietnam war? But that’s moot since she’s seen as Australian more than anything since that’s where she is from. I think it really helps she fits their beauty standard. She’s not brown/tan and her proportions are almost what they idolize (shoujo/sailor moon bodies with ridiculously tiny heads.) Hanni is the most likeable member hands down regardless. Hope she continues to receive nothing but love in SK.

  • I don’t think it took long for people to see that Hanni has the “it” factor. You either have it or you don’t. And she has it to the nth degree. She possesses a combination of captivating characteristics that make her very appealing and attractive. I’m honestly not a NJ fan as it’s not my favorite style of music, but I’ll watch content just to see her.

    She's witty but she just doesn't do it for Koreans nor international fans


    I'm sure she will find more Popularity in the future like rosé but yeah she won't be the most popular or 2nd
