NewJeans showed disrespect to LE SSERAFIM, aespa was praised for 1 thing?

It seems that there will be little turbulence after the court issued a ruling blocking HYBE's dismissal vote against Min Hee Jin, but NewJeans is still in trouble. This time it was also related to LE SSERAFIM.

Accordingly, at the Music Bank music show on the afternoon of May 31, NewJeasn excelled aespa with the song How Sweet to win with the #1 position with 9,836 points. Previously, despite being accidentally dragged into the "war" between HYBE - Min Hee Jin as well as being surpassed by NewJeans, aespa still clapped and encouraged NewJeans.

Also at the music show Music Bank, NewJeans caused controversy in the online community about the question of defaming Eunchae - the youngest brother of LE SSERAFIM. Near the end of NewJeans' victory speech, there was a prolonged silence and Eunchae could be seen checking to see if the members had finished speaking.

As she began to speak, NewJeans' Danielle inadvertently interrupted to thank CEO Min Hee Jin. Many people believe that NewJeans members acted disrespectfully to LE SSERAFIM when "blocking the throat" of seniors. Although Eunchae is younger than some NewJeans members, due to LE SSERAFIM's previous debut, she is still considered a senior.

However, many also believe that this is a misunderstanding with NewJeans member Danielle. NewJeans fans pointed out that this was an incident when both female idols wanted to speak up but because they couldn't see each other, there was a funny situation. Or as someone pointed out earlier, these 2 groups also had a very cute interaction backstage at Music Bank, so there can be no NewJeans disrespecting the seniors. The video of the moment has racked up over 2.2 million views on X.

Although controversial, it is undeniable that NewJeans' recent comeback resonated and brought the group many impressive achievements and records.

NewJeans is also the only K-pop group to be on Billboard's 21 Under 21 list this year.

Recently, the popular music magazine Billboard released its 2024 21 Under 21 list, which aims to celebrate the achievements of young musicians under the age of 21, based on the influence they have had on the music industry so far, while highlighting future potential.

Besides names like Jessie Murph, The Kid LAROI, Gayle, Tate McRae, Ivan Cornejo, Lauren Spencer-Smith, Qing Madi ... NewJeans is the only K-pop artist/group to be voted by Billboard.

The highest achievement of them all was the energetic breakthrough hit "Super Shy" from NewJeans' second EP - "Get Up". Upon its release, it surpassed the "Barbie" soundtrack to take the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200.

In February, NewJeans was named Group of the Year at the Billboard's Women Awards. Hanni attributes the group's global growth in part to social media: "It has become easier to reach a wider audience, regardless of language or other barriers. That we certainly don't take for granted."

At the end of May, NewJeans returned with "How Sweet". The title track entered the Spotify Global Daily Top Songs chart at number 75, and peaked at number 18 on the Apple Music Top 100 Global.

In South Korea, "How Sweet" is in the Top 2 of all top digital music charts (Melon, Genie, Flo, Bugs, Vibe). Notably, "How Sweet" climbed to No. 1 on the YouTube Music Korea chart, and the music video for "How Sweet" dominated the Top 1 trending music videos in Korea.

"How Sweet" sets the record for the largest streaming week for any song debuting on YouTube Music Korea in 2024, with 10.75 million streams, surpassing aespa's "Supernova" with 8.79 million streams.
