Our singers will soon have a billion Steams on Spotify. In This event we temporarily support their activities. Let the girls and even ADOR rejoice. If we will steam Super Shy, we would have three songs with a billion in December
When I search "NHK music expo 2023 NewJeans" I can only find short clips and most of them aren't even the actual performance. Does anyone happen to have a link or something?

hi everyone
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about the current landscape of K-pop. It sortof like the general public and kpop fans as a whole are starting to experience a bit of "easy listening fatigue" with the massive amount of 2-minute long tiktokified easy listening tracks that have taken over the 5th gen. House is becoming popular as a thing for groups to do but i’m not sure it’ll be the mark of the generation. sort of like a passing trend similar to how everyone and their mom was doing retro concepts in like 2020.
Since Newjeans kind of was very influential for the blueprint for the current 5th gen of music I sort of feel like their next move has to be a total pivot. If they opt for easy-listening again it has to be really done well or it’s gonna feel similar to what everyone else is releasing.
When you look at the styling shifts we're seeing in recent shoots it feels a lot more mature and slightly guarded. hyein and haerin are adults now and if they’re graduating from the bright, daytime schoolyard nostalgia of the debut era, I have 2 major theories/hopes for where they could take the sound next:
Late 90s / Early 2000s R&B and Soul
i’m thinking back to the covers they did from complexcon. I would absolutely love for them to come back with a fully structured, 3.5-minute R&B or soul track. No tiktokified 2 minute song (although this might be hard for hybe) and i think their tones would really suit it and it would be such a power move to reject the "short song" meta entirely.
1980s City Pop / Vaporwave
We all saw how viral it went when Hanni did Blue Coral Reef and Hyein did Plastic Love at the Tokyo Dome. Citypop is like the ultimate genre for "melancholic nostalgia." Transitioning to a late-night, neon-lit sophisticated city aesthetic feels like a good thematic evolution for them. considering their concept is nostalgia, city pop is still nostalgic, but it’s a more grown-up, wistful kind of loneliness that would fit a more mature concept well i think.
obviously, neither of these genres are massive in the K-pop mainstream right now, (red velvet has really good r&b b-sides and the only one doing city pop is soloist yukika) but if anyone has the ability to make them trend, it’s newjeans.
What do you guys think? Do you want them to stick to the electronic/club roots (Jersey Club, UK Garage), or are you hoping for a completely new musical concept

Haerin and Danielle were allegedly spotted together by an international student back in October last year. The photo appears to match Haerin's recent Birthday photo.
Image 1: Haerin and Danielle together
Image 2: The post the photo is from, with the date
Image 3: Haerin's birthday photo
Image 4: Same cap, same color, same logo
Image 5: Handbag Haerin has worn before, appears similar
Image 6: The different tops can be explained by Haerin wearing 2 tops on top of each other in the birthday photo and only 1 in the sighting photo. (or only 1 visible from the back if she is wearing a backless tank top like this one)
Image 7: Another birthday photo taken at the beach, likely around the same time at the same location.
TLDR: Haerin sent Ador photos of her spending time together with Danielle for Ador to post on social media.
💙💖💛💚💜Imo here's the best of both worlds or a middle-ground suggestion as a fan who isn't able to buy anything related to NJ but still want to support them somehow. (I'm not comfortable using my dad's money for buying these sorts of things, that's all I'll say. But maybe, one day—I might buy their stuffs with my own money🙃).
This is just my take based on assumptions of how things work. It's for people who want to
🔆 support the girls financially vs those who don't want to support hybedor.🔆
✨ So for those who want to support the girls financially and keep their brand value up....
🍀Stream NJ's old music in official streaming platforms and their official YouTube channel...
(which is what I'll do too).
🍀Stream old NJ content from official channels (like byJeanz , behind the scenes, etc)
🍀Moreover, for those who buy NJ related things can buy up all of the old NJ stuffs. Merch, albums, etc from the official channels.
👀👀Imo I think that's the loudest form of protest because it doesn’t indicate that the Nj brand lost popularity.
⭐It will show how we support the girls' biggest wish.
–To have stayed with the old Ador team.
-To acknowledge that they felt best when they were with the old ador team.
-We respect the girls and the Ador team that was wrongfully kicked out.
-We tell hybedor we don't support them. We show the world how we don't support NJ's work with the evil hybedor.
-We keep their old songs ranking like we have done all this time during their unofficial hiatus.
⭐The girls get paid through the streams and the buying too. Their brand value still stays up? Idk. I think it's still a good way to support the girls even if hybedor gets money out of it too .
Maybe Hybedor might reproduce more old stuffs (albums, Merch) which we can keep buying if we create more demand for it. In this way, we keep supporting the girls financially and keep their reputation high.
🍁Not saying we should buy in bulk or buy them even if we do possess them. But maybe if we are able to keep the old things trending (like through streaming old content and buying old NJ merch which we don’t own) , new fans can take note and be encouraged to buy old NJ albums and merch that are reproduced due to demand.
✨But
🧨Don't stream new NJ music from the official platforms.
➡️Use unofficial YouTube channels to listen to any new NJ music (I will no longer listen to any new NJ music, just check them out briefly on unofficial channels I think😓. I want to show Hybedor how I don’t support their work with NJ at all ).
🧨Don’t checkout any of the new NJ content (like Behind the scenes, byJeanz, etc) from official channels anymore.
➡️Use unofficial YouTube channels to see any other new NJ content— (concerts, behind the scenes, byJeanz etc).
🧨Don't buy new NJ albums and merch from official channels.
➡️ However, if there's any copycat who makes replicas, buy them if you desire to possess new NJ items ....
✨ And for those who don't want to support hybedor ....
🌿There's always the option of relying on 3rd party YouTube channels to listen to NJ music and see their other contents—new and old .
🌿Ya'll can't buy anything related to NJ anymore, except replicas from copycats 😅.
Then again, ya'll don't have to feel guilty about giving any of your bucks to hybedor??? So you guys get to enjoy NJ music and act petty in the same breath by giving these unofficial channels ya'lls bucks instead of hybedor😆??? Tbh, it might create headlines if the unofficial channels end up getting more buys, views and likes lol. Just a funny thought I had....
🌷And people from both sides can support NJ fan contents and enjoy them.
So yeah, that's it🙃🙃🙃
This wallpaper makes me so happy Dani is so gorgeous 💕
