• How Are Netizens Reacting To NewJeans Topping The Charts Despite Tough Competition With BLACKPINK

    Without a question, YG Entertainment's third-generation monster group BLACKPINK's comeback has shook up the K-pop industry, with fans of the girl group ensuring that the two-year-later comeback song becomes a local favorite.

    NewJeans, on the other hand, are rookies from ADOR under HYBE Labels, thus when it was reported that BLACKPINK would be making a comeback, NewJeans supporters feared that the five-member girl group would not be able to maintain their present position in the Melon Charts.

    However, On August 20, a post about NewJeans began trending on TheQoo's community board under the title, "NewJeans' 'Attention' is back at number one on the Melon Realtime Charts TOP100".

    The netizen who posted wrote, "After midnight, they came back to #1!".

    Other netizens quickly responded with comments such as:

    "Attention" and "Hype Boy" are way too good.

    I listen to BLACKPINK and NewJeans a lot these days, and I love it. Let's fill the top three together!

    The songs of NewJeans don't try to be cute, strong, or dangerous. Instead, they have a new sound that doesn't get old.

    BLACKPINK's song wasn't as good as I thought.

    I really can't get sick of the song by NewJeans. It's really cool.

    The more you hear their music, the better it gets.

    Even a month ago, I never would have imagined such an outcome.

    All four of their tracks are excellent!

    I really can't get sick of the song by NewJeans. It's really cool.

    "Attention" is so new that it never gets old, but lately I've been listening to "Hype Boy" more. "Hype Boy", let's run harder too.

    What are your thoughts on the post?

    BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
