In a forum post on a local Korean community site, Korean netizens discussed NewJeans and IVE's concept that appeals to their target audience.

NewJeans


IVE

Despite both groups leading the 4th generation's hottest rookie groups, Korean netizens shared their opinion about NewJeans and IVE's concept, Korean netizens commented:

• Both are great, but the top of the current generation is NewJeans
• Singing taste is IVE
• IVE's elementary school influence is strong
• NewJeans is just like students at school lunches showing off their talent but IVE is like an AI made to make money commercially.
• Only in the sound source does IVE have a slight advantage (I think IVE will win in a head-to-head confrontation), and IVE will win even if all the New Jeans members are combined
• Ive because all the members are tall and pretty
• I heard that IVE's songs are popular during the talent show for kindergarten students.
• Aren't they different? NewJeans has the feeling of being popular among the kids from rich families in Gangnam, and IVE has the feeling of being popular in rural villages.
• I've never heard that IVE failed every time they made a comeback.
• NewJeans are too individual to see, but compared to the team's popularity, they don't have much talent. I'm sure they chose that concept and style on purpose... but I think it's dangerous the moment you fall for that concept.
