    NewJeans faces significant drop in sales

    NewJeans's album sales dip amidst ADOR-HYBE showdown

    What's the story

    NewJeans, a popular girl group, has experienced a significant drop in album sales with their latest single How Sweet selling 46.3% less than their previous mini album Get Up.

    Hanteo Chart reported that the initial sales volume of How Sweet, released on May 24, was 8,84,717 copies compared to Get Up which sold 16,50,181 copies initially.

    The release of How Sweet coincided with a management dispute between NewJeans's agency ADOR and its parent label, HYBE.

    Sales trend

    'How Sweet' sales plummetted after initial release

    Despite selling over 8,10,000 copies on its first day, daily sales of How Sweet fell sharply from the second day onwards.

    By the end of the initial counting period, only about 70,000 additional copies had been sold.

    An industry analysis suggests that this decline may be due to accumulated fatigue among fans resulting from years of intense competition for initial sales volume.

    "The HYBE internal dispute...may have weakened the fandom's unity," commented an official from the music industry.

    Chart performance

    NewJeans maintains popularity despite sales drop

    Despite the sales drop, NewJeans's songs How Sweet and Bubble Gum have ranked second and third on major charts such as Melon, Bugs, and Flo.

    An industry official stated that "since the music market is going through a transition period, it is difficult to pinpoint the cause of the decline in sales."

    The official added that it would be necessary to "watch the cumulative sales trend more closely."

    NewJeans will release their debut single Supernatural in Japan on June 21.
