Everything About NEWJEANS - Rising Kpop Girl Group
Who are NEWJEANS’ Members and Why Are They a Big Deal Right Now?
The rising KPop girl group NEWJEANS is a force to be reckoned with. Their iconic KPop group name NEWJEANS is derived from the idea that jeans are just a classic fashion essential, and much like the group aims to be themselves, they want to embody a timeless image for their branding. This can be seen in their style and music video inspiration that takes a lot of inspiration from vintage and old-school types of settings. Many fans who watch their videos often comment about the nostalgia they’ve been able to invoke from the uses of old-school camcorders, 90s fashion, and the like. In addition to this meaning, the NEWJEANS Kpop group name is also a play on the word set “new genes” which implies a new generation of Kpop music.
This five-member KPop girl group consists of Hanni, Haerin, Danielle, Minji, and Hyein, all managed under the entertainment label ADOR and HYBE. It is important to note that several of the members were already quite active in the Korean entertainment industry before they came together as a band as many were in previous groups, appeared in a variety of shows, and even appeared in cameos from BTS’ music video Permission to Dance (Hanni and Minji to precise). The group was supposed to be set to launch in 2021 but was heavily delayed due to the global pandemic. The KPop girl group NEWJEANS officially finalized their line-up in March of 2022 and they released their highly-anticipated debut song ‘Attention’ on the 22nd of July 2022 and received excellent feedback. As it is right now, NEWJEANS Attention music video now sits at over 36 million views on youtube alone. Today they are known for their hit singles Hype Boy, Cookie, Hurt and their most recent release, Ditto. With accomplishments like receiving the Best New Artist at the 2022 Melon Music Awards, there is no doubt they’re a force to be reckoned with.
