We'll see.
JYPE GGs have mostly been underperforming this year. The only decent performing songs were LMLT and Cake.
That, plus they are a completely Japanese group. I also haven't really seen anyone talking about their debut tbh.
Honestly, that's what I feel like is going to happen lol.
Hard to imagine a fully Japanese group doing well in Korea. Like, XG hasn't exactly been welcomed with open arms. Of course, that has a lot to do with they guy who manages them basically talking bad about KPOP and KPOP artists.
NiziU belongs to JYPE (a huge Korean company), but that leverage isn't doing much to help their own acts chart well in Korea even though they sell well. I'd feel more confident if this was a HYBE or SM group, but then again &Team exists, and no one ever talks about them despite being from HYBE.
It's hard for me to imagine this debut doing that well. The only thing they really have going for them is that they have the Twice spice that SK has been missing since Twice ditched it in 2019.

I think the aim is to try using a Korean debut to reach out to more international fans. Surely JYP knows that a Japanese KPOP group does not have much chance of actually getting popular in Korea.
Interesting that you mentioned &TEAM, I thought the HYBE fanbase would have made that group more popular internationally, but it seems even them can't do it, their debut MV hasn't even broken 10M views after 10 months.

Yeah, I contemplated that too.
NiziU had some decent international interest for their pre-debut and debut, but after that, their YouTube views plummeted and their Japanese fanbase are the only ones who really supported them.
It'd be interesting to see if they really do gain more international interest with this Korean debut.

You know I remember seeing various K-Pop fans saying how they don't follow J-Pop because they lack in skills or difficulty in getting content due to copyright laws and lack of translations etc, but I think it's all bullshit, they also used to say they don't care for Japanese releases because it's the same song translated but even original Japanese songs get way less attention. Despite Japanese members of some K-Pop groups being pretty popular, you can see that Japanese content itself is not, the same can be said for Chinese content.
NiziU is doing well in Japan though, lol.
It makes more sense to keep promoting them there than going to Korea.
