Honestly reading what you're saying I don't think our opinions on the matter are that far. I think NJ should win the case from a moral point of view, but of course I also agree there're many things against them not because of the case itself but because of all the manipulation there is behind. If the most important reason you think about for NJ to lose is because the poor multibillion dollar companies would have loses it's basically agreeing it doesn't matter if NJ was right or wrong, they'll do anything to stop them anyway, right? Feel free to read my previous answers and you'll see how I always point out I think they should win unless Hybe is doing something behind, or unless the judges are not being fair, I'm perfectly aware of this situation.

If anything the biggest difference between us would be how we approach the topic, since I don't think you care that much about NJ winning or not and I guess you see fans saying NJ should win (and me in this case) delusional. Me, as a fan, I'm obviously pissed off, and I want NJ to win not just because of the group future, but because I think the industry needs this change the companies are so afraid of. Most part of the fandom is perfectly aware NJ is risking a lot but how do you expect us to react to all this? I repeat, NJ losing the case wouldn't change anything to me if they don't show anything new, the injunction result was pure bullshit and didn't make any sense, if they lose the main case I'm expecting something similar.

A conctract is a contract and Ador/Hybe have done nothing material wrong, NewJeans just need to stop being spoiled kids and fullfill their signed contract. Kpop will fall apart if a contract is not a contract anymore.

Sweden's song is super fun but do you think they'd win? It's super unserious I think other countries are predicted to win, but anything can happen I guess.

It's not that unserious as it looks like, in it's core it's a pretty standard catchy Eurovision song. But I base my statement more on the fact that it's big favorite in all rankings. But as I have said before, it could also be a bad think to peak to early and voters prefer to vote on underdogs.

Quote from Isastar

I agree, I really liked their song!

He said that looking at the past wins, aparently a good percentage of those who performed last won the contest.

It because people have the songs fresh in mind compared to ones performing early. But if Sweden don't win this I will blame russian hackers.

Rebel Heart is their best song, well maybe together with Kitsch

Here, even the so called boring Korean actors can't stop adoring her.😂

Idols idolize her even more.

Hey, I don't mind what she do, just saying it's not really normal standard to show that much and it can make people uncomfortable in her sourounding. I would sure as hell feel uncomfortable close to someone dressed like that.

Maybe a bit too much...

I'm a bit curious what other female Idols think about it.

Momo look like they just draw her up from bed and put some random awful stuff on her.

Quote from ISaidISaid

Like I maintained from the beginning sending Hanni to speak about work place harassment at the National Assembly was perhaps the worst PR move MHJ(or the members themselves) ever made.

They came off as bratty and entitled while till then the sentiments were on their side.

Sighhh

It's honestly a bit crazy. I mean it would be one thing if it was someone from a group that have a lot of experience and a long time in the industry, let say a Girls' Generation member or an other similar artist that more or less have done their thing already. But someone from a group that still is pretty new and the members are still young and was at the start of the carriers, just open the doors for "Who do they think they are?".

Not sure being a hyped favorite like Sweden is a good thing. You always have the risk people get tired of it before the final and/or that people prefer to vote for a underdog or second favorite instead of a top favorite.

A bit slow start for H2H, I thought they would keep a bit faster tempo and have at least one more single at this point. Their debut was a bit weak so they need to step up if they if they want to be a top group.

Quote from BIGnorBANG

Interesting to see the Japanese groups (not the Korean-formed Japanese ones) are still male dominated...

Well... not a big suprise if you see the concepts and how they are promoted, not really "girl power" stuff. And it's not a coincidence NJ is the group from SK in this list with biggest share of men.

Quote from bartkun

not really

usually groups like TWICE and NIZIU back in the day would have more male fans than female fans in JPN

Well, if you look at the Japanese groups in the list, it's pretty easy to draw the conslusion. And NewJeans with the most men of the korean groups in the list, not a big suprise that either. I guess it's in Japan.

Quote from bartkun

is pink for female fans

blue for male fans?

It would be pretty easy to guess even if was black and white just by looking on the groups.

One curiosity, Anderz Wrethov the writer behind to the Swedish entry is a one of the co-writes to KARA's song Love Click.

Quote from StanGIDLE

F5VE's debut album is fantastic

I liked Underground, but the singles after that was not so good. Feels a bit "low budget".

Quote from number-one

I think it got instantly second gen vibes

Can't say I get any huge 2nd generation vibes, maybe if they speed up the tempo a bit.

Quote from doesitneedsaying

You had to send finns to finally give Eurovision audience a song in swedish!

yeah that is kind of weird.....

Quote from Yama-Chan

What? I stopped reading after the first paragraph. NewJeans are LITERALLY among the best sound wise. What kind of awful take is this? They are the most critically acclaimed girl group arguably EVER. Every respected music publication and platform has been effusive in their praise of their music, which has brought in a massive audience and listener base that normally doesn't tune in for K-Pop.

They. Are. Different. That's why they are generational superstars and shot to fame so quickly, overshadowing all the other HYBE acts and amplifying the animosity of those cucks at HYBE who were jealous they couldn't duplicate or even approach the level of success they enjoyed alongside Min Heejin.

I skimmed your second paragraph and it is completely illogical. Tokkis are powerful but you are INSANE if you think ANY girl group fandom can be solely responsible for a song sticking to the charts like NewJeans' songs have.

BLACKPINK has a massive fandom. Why aren't their songs sticking like Hype Boy and Ditto?

No, NewJeans are still charting well because the PUBLIC LOVES THEM. Hello? They were the TOP ARTIST ON GALLUP LAST YEAR. And it wasn't even close.

I expect better from you, Crystal.

Exactly my point.

I fell asleep halfway through this post. What did you say again about this boring ass year?

NJ is so overrated by their fans. NJ is mostly a hype group, their vocals are "okay" at best. Their songs? Meh.

Quote from Yama-Chan

That's nice

Find the nearest exit immediately.

Don't understand the purpose of the competion when we (Sweden) last year sent Norwegians to the final and this year Finns.

Quote from BIGnorBANG

That's cause it's easy listening...

That's cause 2nd Gen was experimental, and even MHJ was at her best then, too (though, not surprising since she's boxed herself into a creative cul-de-sac with NewJeans, since she has a seven year plan for them with the same, similar sound we've been hearing...).

Seven years with that similar sound? Does not really sounds like a "plan". Sure, I can understand the sound is "intresting" for some people for 1-2 years, but seven years with that kind of music would make anyone depressed.
