K-netizens Point Out BTS & NewJeans Overlapping Advertisements & Promotions
Netizens found out that NewJeans had taken over BTS’s advertisements during the group’s military service hiatus
A netizen in theqoo made a list of advertisements and promotional activities of BTS that were later transferred to NewJeans when the members enlisted, drawing keen attention.
The list includes Jungkook’s Cocacola OST, Seoul Metropolitan Government Ambassador, New York Rocking Eve appearance (the highest-rating year-end broadcast in the US), Lollapalooza, McDonald’s package & CF, Cocacola package & CF & OST, Lotte Gum Japanese CF, Shinhan Bank, Billboard cover, etc.
The netizen added, “Of course, the contracts with iPhone and luxury brands as ambassadors might have been opportunities achieved by NewJeans with their popularity and abilities. But no matter how famous they are how can a group with only 1-2 years of experience get all those promotions without HYBE’s support”, adding “NewJeans’ advertisements and promotional activities accidentally overlap with what BTS did during the group’s hiatus for military service”
In response, other netizens commented:
– NewJeans is the new Seoul Government Promotional Ambassador? Unbelievable.. BTS had been doing that for years
– I guess NewJeans and NewJeans’s parents are no different from Min Hee-jin??? They are literally the sameㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– To be honest, would HYBE achieve those without BTS? I’ve been wondering it so many times… Other top groups also have to accumulate recognition and popularity for years to get such contracts
– Everyone knows that they wouldn’t have achieved all those things without BTS
– They are really getting everything from BTS…
– Min Hee-jin claimed all those things as achievements of NewJeans and her own abilities
– I can’t believe that they easily took everything that BTS worked hard to achieve and proudly said they got them all with their own strength
