Before the audit was announced by HYBE, NewJeans were already considered the most popular celebrities in Korea, with almost their entire discography still in the top 100 of the charts, along with massive brand deals everywhere. Koreans even coined the phrase "The World is NewJeans", and they've also been called "Korea's Favorite Daughters".

So when you begin a negative media play campaign to smear and attack them, and then get exposed by an internal document describing how you need to abandon them, along with your Chairman ignoring their greetings and clearly taking exception to their historically dominant careers, it's no surprise Korea is standing behind NewJeans.

And they are getting support from everyone--fans, dozens of industry peers and celebrities, creatives from different companies, big brands and companies like Apple, and of course, the general public.

I've never seen a girl group this loved since SNSD, and honestly, it's a debate that can be had over who's more loved between those two, because it's hard to see any girl group not only surviving their own company trying to bury them, as NewJeans has with HYBE, but even thriving.

The things you mentioned are why Mine Heejin has been able to flip the narrative on HYBE as far as her reputation is concerned, but HYBE screwed up the moment they put out a bunch of laughable statements on how they would prioritize protecting NewJeans and then did the exact opposite over and over.

They never understood or appreciated the value of NewJeans, or they would have NEVER started any of this to begin with.

ahh this really puts things into perspective, thanks for breaking it down ! I really hope they come out of this ok, maybe im just too terminally online but i get so much anxiety seeing all the daily drama and hate the girls get

There is zero risk of NewJeans taking a popularity hit in Korea. Globally, and specifically in the West, it remains to be seen how everything will shake out, but in Korea? You've got to be living under the biggest boulder if you don't understand how popular NewJeans is there.

Wow, that's reassuring to hear about their popularity in Korea! As an international fan, I’ve noticed they seem to have mixed reception on international platforms like Reddit, TikTok, and Twitter, but often hear they're more widely loved in Korea.

I’d love to understand more about how they’re viewed from a Korean perspective, but it can be tough to get an accurate picture because of translation gaps and misinfo online. Do you think their support in Korea around this drama might partly be because their fight feels like they’re pushing back against traditional norms or standing up to corporate giants and patriarchal structures in the industry? It feels like they might represent something refreshing and empowering that resonates more with Korean fans. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what makes them so impactful at home, especially when international opinions seem more mixed!

I gave up on discussing this issue on reddit. It is Hybe stan/International army stronghold. Don't get too stressed about it.

Welcome. Don't waste your time on those miserable haters and their toxic cesspool of a community. They're all completely brigaded by company stans and toxic ARMY.

If it's NewJeans support you want to see, then the AKP Forums is the place to be. And you will find most people here don't want anything awful to happen to the girls, even if they're not a fan of MHJ.

Thank you! . Why would anyone stan a company...

Hi allkpop forums! Glad i found this place as there seems to be at least some nwjns support here . Why is every mention of newjeans on reddit is so hateful and negative (r/kpop_uncencored, r/kpopthoughts, etc). I just want the girlies to be happy
