NewJeans Tops Expert Opinion About THIS
A number of significant music industry insiders were polled recently by Star News on the topic of "4th gen idols who are most predicted to perform well in the future."
The largest percentage of votes among 4th generation female idols went to NewJeans, who garnered 16 out of 18 votes (88.9%).
The 18 survey respondents chose a total of 4 teams (male and female) groups that made their debuts after 2020.
NewJeans and three other idol groups were chosen as the top candidates as a result. Each of their idols was left out of the choice to make it fair.
According to a representative of an idol agency who requested anonymity, NewJeans "is the group that best captures the innocent appeal of young ladies."
CEO of HighUp Entertainment said "I think it is a group that pursues popularity with emotions and freshness in the 2000s away from the same framework as a fandom-oriented idol. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of music color they will bring to the public in the future".
Kim Jinwoo CEO of RBW (Mamamoo and Purple Kiss Agency) said "Unlike other groups that have been actively pursuing strong and strong music recently, they pursue easy listening pop and express innocence and trendiness concept which stands out the most"
