NewJeans has emerged as one of K-pop’s most revolutionary groups since their surprise debut on July 22, 2022, under ADOR, a HYBE Labels subsidiary. Breaking away from traditional K-pop formulas, the five-member group—comprising Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein—captivated audiences with their debut single Attention, instantly establishing their signature Y2K-inspired sound, fashion, and effortless charm.
Helmed by Min Hee-jin, former creative director at SM Entertainment, NewJeans was crafted with a distinct philosophy: authenticity over artifice. Their name is a clever double entendre—symbolizing both timelessness (like classic jeans) and “new genes” representing the next evolution of K-pop. This ethos permeates their music, which blends pop, R&B, and electronic influences into refreshing, genre-defying tracks that resonate globally.
Unlike many idol groups, NewJeans embraces a relatable, unfiltered image—earning praise for their natural, youthful energy reminiscent of the “girl-next-door”. Their choreography, often infused with 90s and early 2000s nostalgia, feels both nostalgic and cutting-edge, while their fashion choices (think low-rise jeans, crop tops, and chunky sneakers) have sparked worldwide trends.
Their official fanbase, “Bunnies” (or “Tokki” in Korean), reflects the group’s warm, inclusive vibe. In just two years, NewJeans has shattered records, from chart-topping hits like Ditto and OMG to groundbreaking brand deals, with members representing Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci, Chanel, and Burberry.
With their genre-blending music, trendsetting style, and down-to-earth personalities, NewJeans isn’t just a group—they’re a cultural reset. As they continue to evolve, one thing is certain: like their namesake, NewJeans is here to stay.
