Beloved K-pop girl group NEWJEANS debuted in 2022, and within two years, they have carved out a niche for themselves in the K-pop arena. The group was formed by HYBE’s subsidiary label ADOR and kickstarted their musical journey with “Attention,” a pre-release from their debut self-titled EP, which was unveiled on August 1.
The rookie group ensured that every K-pop fan knew their name, as all four tracks from their debut mini-album, including “Attention,” “Hype Boy,” “Cookie,” and “Hurt,” became superhits. The group maintained this momentum and soon achieved global recognition with their album “Get Up,” which dominated the Billboard 200 chart in July 2023. Their album “OMG” also amassed widespread success.
Composed of Minji, Danielle, Hanni, Hyein, and Haerin, the group made a comeback in 2024 with their album “How Sweet.” Recently, the girl group was also awarded an honorary ambassadorship for South Korea tourism. NEWJEANS was chosen for this title to target the global 2030 generation and inspire them to visit and experience Korean culture.
