I love being a teenage tokki, like yes, I grew up watching attention, hype boy, cookie, and hurt. Ditto/omg was my first album, and I feel like I can genuinely relate to the members so much. I just love NewJeans with my whole heart.
🧢: The reason I dislike this is because when people can easily copy someone’s concept and find success, it leads to despair for others. If groups with resources can just copy and succeed, then smaller ones think, 'Why bother trying? Let’s just copy too.' Eventually, everyone ends up becoming a version of NewJeans. This is bad for NewJeans and bad for the other groups in the long term. It damages the industry. This is supposedly for shareholder profits, but it’s actually harming the business. Pointing this out is necessary for the industry's health.
