NewJeans is a five-member South Korean girl group under ADOR, a subsidiary of HYBE. Their debut in 2022 was widely credited with introducing a sonic and visual direction — drawing on Y2K aesthetics and 90s-influenced R&B pop — that influenced the broader K-pop landscape of that era.

History

Debut and immediate impact

NewJeans debuted in July 2022 with a self-titled EP and immediately generated significant attention for their relaxed, understated image and genre-blending music. Singles such as "Attention," "Hype Boy," and "Cookie" became some of the most streamed K-pop tracks of that year.

Continued growth

Follow-up releases "Ditto," "OMG," and "Super Shy" maintained the group's commercial momentum. "Super Shy" became one of the group's biggest international hits. Their 2023 debut in Japan also set records, further demonstrating their cross-market appeal.
