"New Jeans' debut in Japan was a failure."

 

"First day on the Japanese Oricon chart: 28,000 copies"

"For reference, LE SSERAFIM's debut album (Japanese version) sold 130,000 copies on the first day. This shows how serious it is that New Jeans only sold 28,000 copies."

"New Jeans needs to surpass Kep1er in Japan first."

Aespa, whose popularity is often questioned, was the first 4th generation group to perform at Tokyo Dome. So why hasn't LE SSERAFIM, who supposedly has immense popularity in Japan, performed there yet? Didn't they debut earlier than New Jeans? The 'they're still rookies' excuse doesn't seem valid anymore. Why is it that only LE SSERAFIM hasn't performed at Tokyo Dome yet? What's the real reason behind this?"

-[👍207,👎10] "Seriously, what's the deal with LE SSERAFIM? People constantly question Aespa's popularity, even though they had over 900,000 applicants for their Japan showcase. Yet, LE SSERAFIM is supposedly so incredible in Japan that New Jeans and Aespa pale in comparison. So why aren't they holding concerts? Why aren't they capitalizing on such profitable opportunities? Why?"

-[👍187,👎20] "As expected, LE SSERAFIM, the pride of J-pop!! They even greeted the audience in 'Japanese' at Coachella~~? Truly a proud Japanese girl group!! I wish LE SSERAFIM continued success in Japan. Fighting ❤️❤️"

-[👍5,👎4] "I wonder why a group with Japanese people who have been active in Japan for 10 years can't tour the Tokyo Dome."

-[👍2,👎1]"It's hard to surpass groups like LE SSERAFIM or ILLIT who have Japanese members. Sakura already had substantial fanbases in Japan and China during her time with IZ*ONE, and Chaewon was popular in Japan. It would be good for New Jeans to aim for 100,000 copies in their first week sales."

-[👍2,👎0]  "It's true that the response in Japan was lower than expected. It's only natural since there are no Japanese members."

-[👍2,👎0] "It's fact that the response in Japan has been lukewarm, but why bring other groups into this?"

-[👍0,👎0] "Stop causing fights between New Jeans and LE SSERAFIM fans. Your nonsense is only worsening relationships between fandoms ㅡㅡ."

-[👍0,👎0] "In Japan, performing at Tokyo Dome is everything, no further explanation needed."
