I wonder if this controversy will affect Newjeans' sales and performance for their next cb

The only reason they would be dropping in sales is due to them having consecutive single album releases one month apart. The gp is on their side, I'm just worried people would prefer their japanese album more because of the bags and ignore their Korean one.

I feel like it should help them.

I have seen a lot of people who support them, and people will check out the comeback just because this whole fiasco has them curious. Even non-fans will probably tune in. As long as the song is good, they should see the same success.

I'm more worried about HYBE interfering and sabotaging tbh.

SK GP is overwhelmingly on MHJ's side rn and pretty much no one has beef with NJ except maybe a few confused HYBE stans. I think this whole saga has been good publicity, for at least these next couple of comebacks anyways. It's gonna be huge.

Sales wise, due to the strange roll out, my expectations aren't high for the albums sold numbers, but that has little to do with the controversy.

In terms of people listening to their music, I would suggest taking a look at how much more popular this incident has made them, which is pretty wild for me to type given how popular they already were.

For context, both OMG and Attention RECHARTED into the top 100. Now look at their daily rankings.

When NewJeans finally return, their digitals will be possibly their greatest ever.
