NewJeans' fans, Bunnies, congratulated them for this achievement:
"It's impressive that they entered the top 10 even in a global chart
"They are really doing so well, their Spotify numbers are crazy, but also the apple music ones, Spotify and AM charts in a lot of countries like Canada and UK."
"Ditto and OMG dropped with no promotion or teasers and yet their first day streams were insane."
"Truly deserving! I never thought I'd like them because I'm too old for 4th gen music. But I listened to their songs, and I love all of them! They are not just some hyped up GG. They are the real deal."
"I bet that they'll get paid right away since their albums sold so well physically this time"
"Ditto" is the fastest K-Pop song to reach the Top 10 of Billboard's Global 200, alongside BLACKPINK.
