The reason NewJeans was abandoned, there are too many groups that can ‘replace’ them

I guess it all comes down to what makes NJ special?

Quote from Panpriyah-lice

With NewJeans no longer being favored by HYBE,

When were they exactly favored by HYBE?

"K-pop was a mistake"

What a terrible attempt at negative media play. Is this the best HYBE's lapdogs could come up with?

Cheap imitations will never measure up to the original.

Just like plenty of groups emulated BP but didn't have 5% of their success, the same holds true for the NewJeans imitators.

If HYBE just GTFO and left NJ/MHJ alone, there would be no issues with profitability going forward.

I really want that company to burn.

And who are the "imitators"?

HYBE have only ever cashed in on the group, all the major decisions are from ADOR that still has the majority of the Staff working with the group.

A 5% drop could possibly be a 95% surplus with a 2nd comeback if only 1 had such an impact.

There has been a natural slow down of interest Post Pandemic and the fans that NJ's are retaining aren't going to be bothered by the politics that are outside the group's control, if anything, it may even galvanize their support.

There is no group at HYBE that can replace Newjeans, nobody likes Lesserafim, Illit can't copy Newjeans success even though they continue to try to do and fail, and Fromis 9 is nowhere to be seen. Only other girl groups from other companies can beat them.

So...

1. Koz still is barely having profits even after almost a year and a half since Bnd debut? Interesting.

2. Lsf has been super busy this year, but where's all that money going?

3. BigHit being the top earner makes sense, since they’ve got txt and all 7 bts members still dropping albums and music here and there

4. Enhypen’s been on a nonstop tour yet again where's the money going? Illit’s debut wasn’t on them, it was on Hybe. Do the boys really have to pay Hybe back for the money spent getting them from CJ?

5. Nj hasn’t been doing much this year, so it’s kinda crazy they’re still the 3rd biggest contributor.

To sum it up, it feels like some of these companies' money is being taken by their higher up, because there’s no way some of them be this low.
