i agree with this. there's something internally that forced Hybe to have to make it public. If something as simple as "illit copied me" okay we'll change them up next comeback was the solution i don't think we'd be sitting here right now. there's obviously a deeper issue that forced this to be brought out.
now tell us what it is people!
because as mhj has made it clear, she has always wanted her own agency. there's no way it started now.
one of them is extremely talented, asa i think ?
am i the only one that thinks newjeans are not that special?
They are nothing special, but they should have credit for their achievment even if their music sucks. I said I thought their popularity would decline, but I did not thought it would be a "scandal" that put them on the spot. As a T-ara fan I know how it is with shit creating problems instead of good/bad music. Still hard do say if this is bad for NJ or not, maybe it will just be a little bump.
yes, credit where credit is due. i just don't think they're this level of special when it seems the main ingredient is their creative director. you wouldn't be saying this of blackpink, bts or twice.
am i the only one that thinks newjeans are not that special?
I personally think they did it on purpose. You think companies are very innocent. It's all strategy and marketing tactics. There is no such thing as good or bad in advertising.
this is so delusional
Display MoreI find it really telling that in her statement where she responds to the allegations made by hybe, not only does she not respond to the most serious one, her and her team leaking personal information about other hybe idols to tarnish the idols' reputations and therefore hybe's as well, she also drags illit, a group that debuted less than a month ago, into this mess. Because apparently kpop fans harping on about how illit is a newjeans copy was the reason she couldn't bear ador being 80% owned by hybe anymore and she therefore planned this strategy for independence all in a month?
Not only that, but it's pretty ironic that she doesn't want illit and newjeans to be associated in any way just because they both debuted under hybe, according to her, hybe is a multi-label company and the individual labels should not be mentioned together because their labels are not affiliated together, when she had no problem media playing newjeans with BTS, who are also associated because they're both groups under hybe companies.
And finally, it's really disgusting that she pulled newjeans into this mess personally by both starting her statement saying this is all to protect newjeans, and also ending her statement saying that it was only released after sufficient discussion with the newjeans members, thereby implying that they agree with everything ador says in these statements, which only makes them an even bigger target than they already were.
To me, it just looks like min Hee jin felt threatened by illit's explosive debut and this is her trying to drag them down.
she just made the connection between illit and newjeans even bigger.
If this is true this explains Hybe’s sus behavior recently and sorry to say obvious media play.
lol what mediaplay?? the hate trains both lsfm and illit have been getting?

Well if she did, she must have a good reasons. I trust her sense. I suspect because she thought it would be the best opportunity for her group to advance further in the west with hybes new found connections after BTS success.
But so far she didn’t calculate the human element in the whole story. For whatever reasons (jalousy? pride? fear? who knows...) Hybe/Bang more specifically is not putting in the connections or even any pertinent effort for NJ's advancement in the west and are actually becoming more of a threat to the project. And a threat to the realisation of her vision and ambitions for kpop.
The last straw was probably the deleyed full album comback in february and what i personally suspect the robery of njs coachella invitation. And probably other things happening we don't know about.
Thing is bang got really arrogant after bts sucess and very greedy, maybe he thinks he can do what he wants with her. But she ain't as defensless as he thinks of her. She too as connections in the industry and a lot of experience, and if all this story is true, i personally think she is waging a war for her survival and for the survival of her vision and projects (including nj).
As i said, she is very ambitious. She wont accepts just crumbs. She aims for the top. And she probably prefers to risk it all and lose than stay in this state of mediocrity at the total control of a jealous, greedy, shady ceo. At last LSM supported her.
And for the second point, she founded Ador from a to z and owns 20% of it (which is big man). Why would she leave everything behind this easily? Lol. It makes all the sense that she tries to get more hold of her own project. It's not like she was going to take control of hybe or big hit. What's wrong with that?
(Of course as long as nothing illegal has been done. But i don’t think her stupid enough to do so.)
All this current drama looks more like Bang trying to redirect hybes shareholders wrath on the 'traitor' mhj after the coachella fiasco. And getting ride of a potential rival. Maybe his own position is threatened or being questioned in Hybe??
And if she ever gets out of Hybe, obviously she will (or at last try) take her whole project with her. From the members, to the producers, to the shareholders basically the whole Ador bone structure. And Ador will just stay in hybe in name only. Like a ghost or something. What's the point? MHJ is ador ador is mhj.
where is the source for this coachella robbery stage? lsfm is much closer to bp in terms of sound and performance than newjeans. it made much more sense for them to be the invited hybe act than newjeans
Coachella originally booked NewJeans with a NewJeans album dropping right before to kick off their world tour starting with Tokyo Dome.
Instead, Bang kicked NewJeans out. Le Serrafim was playing Coachella. Their album was pushed to end of year to make room for ILLIT and TWS. For the good of HYBE, Bang said.
ADOR, a label known to plan at least a year out, had to scramble. They replaced their world tour kick off and created a Bunnies Camp in Tokyo Dome (for 2 days) instead with a very light JP debut after a year of no music. With a late album, no world tour until 2025 - Le Serrafim will go first in 2024.
and your source for this is?
hybe wont be foolish, they'll want the group to stay intact
what were they thinking???
Its true tho. Illit reached #2 on Apple music global chart which only BTS has done that. And you wonder How Are they doing Even better than BP who has massive followers. If yall dont think its questionable then your lying to yourselves. Their streams on Spotify Are also questionable. I think charts should begin to not count streams that Are from paid playlistings. Its unfair
a viral hit is a viral hit. you said it yourself, if they were able to that why was the only other hybe act bts?
the chorus is extremely offputting. but it's a poor copy of a teddy bp song, poor yg.
once it gets more plays it also get's more in people's queue's, specially kpop listeners.
autoplay doesn't justify the streams its having imo, the song is kind of an earworm and is also charting in SK, and other streaming platforms.
it's clear they are committed to the bp brand, and that means the group and their relationships with each other. but there's a clear separation between bp life / solo life / social life. fans shouldn't complain too much if they still get a bp tour, they just wont get a season 2 for bp house.
this is a big win for jennie in terms of networking. the ppl listening to it are not listening to it for jennie, or else her other solo track would've had more longevity.
Jennie nurse outfit was during COVID.
it's very clear how happy they all are right now.
Other idols are not as big as them so I doubt.
They've done it cause they already established a name for themselves. Besides BTS members, whose big as them tho? And it means more money for them
they're not the first idols to create an agency.
