I gotta say NewJeans really is lasting longer than their Blacklisting would like

Don't forget top 2 on Circle Digital Index despite not releasing any music in 2025

All I see is Legends TWICE in their 10th year. Snsd could NEVER

Isnt it clearly more detrimental to HYBE to not just capitulate to some type of what NJZ wants?

Egos and pettiness are often prioritized over profit

legends legending

People listening to their songs doesn't mean they're "lasting." They're still not DOING anything. For all we know these streams are all from Yama's bot farms anyway.

It's funny how "not DOING anything" NewJeans can still sprint circles around "still DOING everything" Twice in Korea

They're not "doing everything" in Korea and you know it. But more to the point, remind me again who is at the top of this ranking, with over double the streams of your precious NJZ.

theyre the third highest streamed girl group on Dailys and thats without a release in MUCH longer than ANY group has gone to keep this type of longevity.

Anyways the point of this thread is:

Isnt it clearly more detrimental to HYBE to not just capitulate to some type of what NJZ wants? Theyre very clearly a cultural trend, a money maker, and the obvious answer to A LOT of the financial issues HYBE is currently facing due to its various scandals.

I even think at this point they would kind of solve multiple issues because SOME of their scandals would die down and i’m willing to bet there are more fans of NewJeans that are holding out on listening to newer/other HYBE groups than vice versa (and the proof is in the streams so) (Spotify is SKs largest streaming service)

I don't think there is anything HYBE can do, NewJeans refuses to work with them and if you mean set them free and get some kind of agreement to split profits and letting them use their name and songs and let them work independently that's never going to happen, it would open doors for any idol group to try what NewJeans is doing and there is no way in hell entertainment companies would want that, that's why i have a hard time believing NewJeans could win, because if they win it would completely change everything and idk the kpop industry is going to let that happen

ugh, dont remind me

It's funny, I think I listened to NewJeans much more this year than I did last year. The hiatus made me realize how much I love their music. I think if all goes well, they will have one of the biggest comebacks ever. I think many share similar sentiment where they can't wait for the comeback because it's been too long.
