If you haven’t memorized all the moves to Hype Boy or OMG yet, I’m guessing you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months or don’t have social media. If you would like to know a little more about the group, then you’ve come to right place!
1. NewJeans is housed under the label called ADOR (All Doors One Room) under the conglomerate, HYBE. They have a female CEO, Min Hee-jin, which is rare among the music industry in Korea.
2. The concept of the group relies on expressing the carefree, natural, and simple lives behind teenagers — Almost giving a hint of nostalgia and prolonging a sense of youthful naivety/innocence.
3. Their song “Ditto” just broke BlackPink’s record of being the most streamed girl group song in the history of US Spotify! This is quite the achievement since the group only debuted less than a year ago.
Just for fun, I’ve ranked the songs by my personal preference:
- Attention
- Hurt
- Hype Boy
- Ditto
- OMG
- Cookie
(Sorry Cookie, but the lyrics are just a smidge questionable). It was hard to make this ranking because I really love the group’s entire discography but just bear in mind that the tiers have the smallest increments between their spots. Also, I feel like “Hurt” has the least amount of coverage but I actually really adore this song and how delicate it is. What are you waiting for? Go listen to “Hurt” now!
