[THEQOO] The Korean media criticized New Jeans for blurring the boundaries between Korean and Japanese culture.
“The boundary between Korean and Japanese culture has collapsed”… The magic of ‘Aoi Sangosho’![]()
Member Hani performed a solo stage at the Tokyo Dome fan meeting held last month.
Honey, with short black hair and wearing a navy suit, sang “Aoi Sangosho” by Seiko Matsuda, a “Japanese national idol” released in 1980.
Japanese fans were thrilled by the setting, which was reminiscent of Japan's golden age before the bubble economy collapsed.
ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin said in a press interview that she wanted to bring freshness based on cultural respect.
Collaborations with Japanese art and culture giants Takashi Murakami and Hiroshi Fujiwara also garnered much attention in both Korea and Japan.
With this, New Jeans is evaluated to have not only greatly changed the conventional wisdom of the Korean and Japanese music industries, but also broken down the barriers between the two countries.
Following the successful debut of New Jeans, the '4th Korean Wave' craze in Japan is expected to grow even stronger.

Article: The Korean press criticized New Jeans for blurring the boundaries between Korean and Japanese cultures.
1. What are they talking about?
2. Is it a good thing if the boundaries between Korean and Japanese cultures collapse?
3. I have no interest at all, but the article title makes me angry.
4. Oh my god, I hate it so much that Min Hee Jin recommended that song to Hani.
5. Why is it only the Korean media that is making such a fuss about this issue?
6. It's the same as when they criticized BoA 20 years ago. They criticized BoA for spreading Japanese culture.
7. Japan likes New Jeans, but why does Korea like Japanese culture?
8. Hani did too well and everyone was only interested in Hani. The song is not good.
9. What are you talking about? I hate Japanese culture.
10. No matter how much money NewJeans makes, J-pop isn't popular in Korea. It's just that Hani did too well.
