Since its now been proven that Newjeans received absolutely no payrola from HYBE and in fact got sabotaged every step of the way. The results they have received just got 10x more impressive.
They were so impressive that they were projected to reach BTS/Blackpink levels of popularity within 5 years of debut. BSH couldn't afford to lose power and influence in HYBE to a crazy lady he couldn't control and had to do whatever he could to dismantle the group even if it means collateral damage to his own groups.
Now with MJH potentially gone, BSH will cap Newjeans popularity to only that of IVE level (They will still maintain this popularity through sheer willpower).
But I will still crown Newjeans as the best girl group ever just based on the results from the last 1.5 years knowing that the biggest kpop company in the world were sabotaging their every move from the inside.
