NewJeans wins The Grand Artist Daesang at the Korean Grand Music Awards

  • Congratulations to our girls, who also won the Bonsang for Best Artist, but I really made this thread so BunniesTaglist could see the translation of the speeches they made:


    Minji full speech:

    Yes, it's been 2 years since NewJeans debuted. Over these two years, we've met so many people, gone through a lot, and learned so much. I think today was one of those meaningful moments of learning. I am truly grateful. During this time, there have been so many joyful moments, and honestly, we've even stayed up all night talking about everything. There have also been some challenges that were a bit hard to handle, but I believe that those challenges helped us become a stronger and better team with all five members. That's how I feel.


    I had planned to prepare something, but after the performance, my mind went blank. I just want to say thank you to our fans, Bunnies, who always give us so much support. It's thanks to you that we can always perform with passion and joy, and we can focus on preparing our best for the stage. I also want to thank our managers, who give us the smallest yet incredibly important support. I really want to express my gratitude to our CEO, who might be watching right now, for giving us the strength to stay united and move forward. I'm so happy that I was able to perform with my members and enjoy such a wonderful stage today. In the future, NewJeans will return with even better music and new sides of us, so please continue to support and expect great things from us. Thank you so much.


    Hanni full speech:

    We truly want to keep expressing our gratitude to Bunnies. I know it might sound like a simple, empty phrase, but I hope you know that it's not empty at all. Honestly, I don't know how long I will remain as NewJeans, but I believe that nothing can get in the way of the bond we've built between the five of us and our Bunnies. Let's stick together until the end


    Dani:


    "EVEN IF WE ARE NOT NEWJEANS, NEWJEANS NEVER DIE"

    It is a sad but potentially necessary sacrifice so the girls can break free from that scumbag organization and move into an environment where their careers and aspirations are fully supported for the first time.

  • freedom and liberation 😌

    Changed the title of the thread from “NewJeans wins Artist of the Year Daesang at the Korean Grand Music Awards” to “NewJeans wins The Grand Artist Daesang at the Korean Grand Music Awards”.
  • Artist of the year? What did they even do this year? :melon_think:

    So... for the next week or so. :eyes:

    Most albums sold

    Most streams on every platform

    Overall most popular group in the industry


    All while being sabotaged by the biggest label in K-Pop


    But you knew that and of course came in here to remind everyone how much of a low character clown you are.


    Nice try. And I guess it worked.

  • It did indeed. :*


    But again, what did they DO this year?


    not be irrelevant like twice

    So irrelevant that they're everywhere. ^^

  • Congrats for the daesang, but really congrats for not accepting the horrible environment such a huge conglomerate tried to impose on you, young ladies. This isn't an easy journey and it won't be even after getting out of Hybe, but being faithful to yourself, knowing your value and not letting others stop your dreams is such an inspiring and difficult thing to do that I just have to congratulate you all for still being positive even though right now your path is full of thorns.

    This is one of the worst scenarios ever of a company trying to destroy their own artists and by already an answer here i can say kpop fans are as evil as kpop executives, that's why kpop it is what it is and idols will keep fighting with all their power to survive in an industry where they are suffocated and exploited.

    I hope to see NJs again releasing songs, fan contents and doing their tours. I hope to see them shine. May 2025 be a better year for the girls!

    According to the don of this forum, I am not allowed to tell people to leave. So I will appeal to what little moral fiber and class you may possess and request that you behave yourself or make your own thread if you wish to question the valid body of work NewJeans accomplished despite the turbulence they've experienced this year.


    Thanks, hon.

    :emotionalpepe::pepelove1:

  • NJ had 3 top 5 melon /circle chart songs this year with How Sweet being one of the most succesful song in SK this year based on digital performance ;judgingpepe: That's very far from doing nothing

    The nothing in question is= they charted high in SK and also charted on Spotify and had a good year despite everything that is happening to them.

    Digitals + album sales + real influence + several huge cfs + Tokyo dome fanmeeting + fighting for themselves. I think they did great 🤔

    Don't waste your time engaging with that low IQ bait.


    Just remind yourself that this person is so petty and parasocial that he went into the comments section of AKP articles on LSF music show wins to complain that they should've gone to Twice.


    Imagine being such a chronically online loser that music show trophies for an almost 10 year old group bother you.

  • I mean they wouldn't be first group which actually continued career under new name

    from one point the speech was very emotional and impactful but it's also nice to see that despite pressure and situation they are in, they still managed to smile and perform well

  • I just finished watching the performances

    They are clearly so passionate about being on stage. I hope It isn't taken away from them.

    HYBE can take away names and IPs, but they'll never take the stage away from our girls nor will we, their fans, allow it.


    Just remember that literally the entire industry is behind NewJeans, and that industry will not let HYBE step on them once all the dust has settled.

  • It is sad but potentially necessary sacrifice so the girls can break free from that scumbag organization and move into an environment where their careers and aspirations are fully supported for the first time.

    They're the next GFriend!


    I say this in a positive way. I have to clarify for newbies, before they will attack me.🤣



    About the Award. I have to say, I just don't get it why we needed another boring popularity Award show when there's like 100 already, but there's only one or two that's actually about the MUSIC and the ART, not about sales and charts.

  • NewJeans won those too last year.

  • i’m fucking crying i can’t do this anymore what if we killed ourselves


    new jeans was the reason i got into kpop, and now i have so many wonderful memories with new friends in my life. it’s opened up a new world. i’m grateful to them.

    their estimate buyout is at around 300 or billion won.

    MHJ put stock option covers bout half or so, and the girls earn a ton.


    Don't despair. Even with a new IP, they have their own names and discography.

    Plus a ton of VERY rich investors lined up.
