Below are some comments from netizens: 

  • IVE feels like Galaxy Zflip, while NewJeans is like the iPhone 14 pro
  • Is it because NewJeans is targeting the overseas market and IVE is focusing more on the domestic market? 
  • The comparison makes sense. iPhone is like a pioneer with a lot of newness, while Galaxy is for the general public? It’s this kind of feeling
  • NewJeans is like jeans, IVE is a two-piece outfit, while LE SSERAFIM is a hip tracksuit and BLACKPINK is a fancy dress
  • So, does this make Girls’ Generation a city phone….
  • IVE should become a model for Galaxy
