K-pop fans are reigniting interest in purchasing NewJeans albums amid the ongoing controversy involving HYBE and ADOR.
On an online forum, netizens shared their reasoning behind what they consider a smart move: buying NewJeans’ currently released albums before it’s too late. One original poster explained:
“If NewJeans leaves HYBE, there’s a 500% chance they won’t produce more and it’ll go out of print, for sure. People are starting to say you need to buy it within this year, for real.”
The post included images of NewJeans’ 1st EP ‘New Jeans,’ 2nd EP ‘Get Up,’ and their double single ‘How Sweet,’ suggesting these albums are likely to become rare collectibles if NewJeans officially parts ways with HYBE.
Fans and netizens in the comments agreed, sharing their own thoughts and plans to purchase:
“Ah, I need to buy it quickly too.”
“I should get the ones I don’t have yet.”
“I’ve bought a few, but I think I need to stock up on more….”
“Want to have the Bluebook and the How Sweet group albums….”
“I really have to buy the Bluebook….”
“I’m just a casual fan, but I’m debating whether I should buy one album I like.”
“But if I buy this, won’t the money also go to HYBE?”
“I think I’ll have to buy the Bluebook too, lol.”
“Should I buy one….”
“I’m not a NewJeans fan, but I own the CDP bag album, beach bag album, crossbody bag album, and LP-sized album… I bought them either for the bags or for interior decoration. The Bluebook album is kind of tempting.”
“Ah, that’s true… I was going to buy it later, but I guess I should get it now.”
“I kept putting it off, but now I really need to buy it.”
“Not sure if they’ll re-release it like Taylor Swift does.”
“If NewJeans gets super famous later, their albums might cost 10 times more, lol.”
“Honestly, the Bluebook is a must-have.”
“I already bought the Powerpuff Girls album, but I think I need to get the album with ‘Hype Boy’ too.”
“I really think I should buy it; I’m scared the songs might get taken down too.ㅠ”
“The How Sweet and Bluebook group albums are seriously hard to find.”
“NewJeans albums can even be used as home decor items.”
“I’m not even a fan, but I bought the bag because it was pretty. All of NewJeans’ albums are really well-designed.”
