Newjeans' instant success domestically and globally in less than two years is scary. Will they be able to maintain it?

  • They became successful really fast, less than two years into their careers. That's awesome, but it also brings challenges.Ador, Mhj, and Hybe need to figure out how to make sure the girls keep going up or at least stay where they are now throughout their careers.


    The tricky part is, if they don't keep doing well, they will fall harder, and it will be much more hurtful compared to other groups that didn't even achieve what they have. They have to keep doing better than their latest work and push themselves harder in each comeback.


    Since they don't really have competitors globally among their peers, it's even scarier if Ador and Mhj get too comfortable and start giving less effort. This is why having competition is good; it keeps them motivated.


    Looking at Itzy is a lesson even when both groups have a different trajectory. They were doing really well since debut, but now people are mocking them, and they're not even in the top 5 of 4th gen gg anymore.


    Newjeans and their company have a lot to prove and work to keep maintaining their position.

  • the success they've achieved already grants them that for 2-3 more album releases their sales will go up and the quality and style of song doesn't even matter

    it's always like that with big groups

    they key will be that 5th-6th year

    will they go through or will they bend knee to another powerful rookie group

    but that's wayyyy toooo in future to even talk about it now

  • Groups are now on an accelerated timeframe. What was 5-6 years for BP and Twice, is now maybe 3-4 years for 4th gen.


    Two bad back to back comebacks and the decline starts.


    Where are we at globally now?

  • kpop is a fickle creature

    one mistake and you can be at the top of the world and the next you're busking at Han River...


    but that issue affects every kpop group not just NJ...it's not easy to make it to the top and it's even harder to stay there


    what goes up must come down - the question is whether that's tomorrow or 10/20 years
