- NewJeans is a South Korean girl group formed by ADOR. The group is composed of five members: Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein. NewJeans rose to prominence upon their debut in 2022 with their girl-next-door image and "easy listening" pop and R&B songs inspired by the music of the 1990s.
They debuted in July 2022 with the single "Attention", their first number-one song on South Korea's Circle Digital Chart. It was followed shortly afterward by two other singles, "Hype Boy" and "Cookie". The singles were all featured on their eponymous debut extended play, released in August 2022. In January 2023, they released their first single album, OMG, to commercial success. It was accompanied by two singles, "Ditto" and "OMG". "Ditto" gained widespread popularity, becoming the longest-running number-one song on the Circle Digital Chart and the group's first entry on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart.
After their successful debut, NewJeans received several rookie awards and were featured in lists such as Time's Next Generation Leaders and Forbes's Korea Power Celebrity 40. Aside from music, NewJeans has sponsored and collaborated with several brands, including Musinsa, Levi's, Coca-Cola, LG Electronics, and McDonald's Korea.- IMDb Mini Biography By: wikipedia
