A recent post on the popular South Korean online forum Pann has gained a lot of attention and sparked intense debate about NJZ‘s talent.
The post — which has gone viral with over 56,000 views and more than 540 upvotes — criticizes the group’s abilities and questions whether their rise to fame is thanks to their talent.
But isn’t NewJeans’ skill not top-tier?
It’s hard for them to pull off something as overwhelming as BLACKPINK’s live performances. The members’ atmosphere really feels like they’re just fighting to improve their skills with a strong, competitive edge. Wouldn’t you say NewJeans’ success is mostly due to the production behind them? Though it seems like they do practice dancing a lot, the problem is that NewJeans are singers, not dancers.
It’s like a restaurant where the cooking skills aren’t top-notch. Even if the food tastes a bit off, they’ve decorated the place nicely, and it looks great on Instagram, with beautiful plating.

The post has generated significant engagement, with comments fueling the ongoing debate. Many users agree with the criticism, pointing out that while NewJeans has a visually appealing image, their vocal abilities and dance performances are still lacking.
- “NewJeans having skill? First time I’ve heard that. These guys are just the originators of lip-syncing. They went on Kim Hyun Jung’s news show and couldn’t even sing well, got mocked, and had to take the video down. LOL. Who even says NewJeans are good dancers? At their Hong Kong concert, the moves looked like a balloon.”
- “The reason they’re upset about Min Hee Jin leaving is because they know it’s true, LOL.”
- “It’s just like the reverse of a cheap udon in the idol industry. Marketing-driven, low-quality food.”
- “Even the fanbase doesn’t say they’re good singers, LOL. They just keep telling themselves that they have great tone and try to find victory in that.”
- “Originally, NewJeans wasn’t even meant to have a ‘talent-driven’ image. They were just going for the image of being pretty teenage girls, but the vocals are whatever, and the dancing is decent.”
