  • No, but why do they keep mentioning NewJeans in their mediaplay?
  • This is definitely released by Starship. Even before that, they kept trying to get the title of the 2nd coming of NewJeans in other articles.
  • Why are companies doing such dirty mediaplay? Even the comments are also going crazy.
  • Why do they keep trying to be NewJeans? Just be KiiiKiii.
  • Why do they do mediaplay like this?

Others pointed out that while KiiiKiii has a bohemian girl vibe, NewJeans’ debut era was more street and Y2K. The two possess completely different charms, despite what the articles say!
