NewJeans

NewJeans are a K-Pop girl group formed in Seoul, South Korea. Originally conceived in 2019 by former SM Entertainment visual director Min Hee-jin, the quartet’s membership was picked during a series of global auditions in 2020. The final five members chosen were Minji (leader), vocalists Haerin and Hyein, and vocalists / dancers Hannie, and Danielle. Initially, the group were going to be officially launched in 2021, but the COVID-19 pandemic put a pause on their debut. NewJeans officially launched on July 22, 2022, with the release of their debut single “Attention.” The song reached Number 1 on Billboard’s South Korea Songs chart and also charted in New Zealand, Singapore, and Vietnam. Their next track, “Hype Boy,” was released a day later and achieved similar success on the charts. The group’s debut EP, New Jeans, was released on August 1, 2022, and reached Number 1 in South Korea. It also charted in Japan and the Billboard World Music charts. On July 21, 2023, the band unveiled their second EP titled Get Up, which made its entry at the number two position on the Circle Album Chart and attained a remarkable sales figure of 1.65 million copies during its inaugural week of release. The EP was promoted through three distinct singles: "Super Shy," "ETA," and "Cool with You" with "Super Shy" managing to clinch the top spot on the Circle Digital Chart, marking NewJeans' third chart-topping single in South Korea, emerging as their most successful track across multiple international charts, after it took the Number one spot on the Billboard Emerging Artists chart. 2024 saw the release of several new singles, including "Supernatural," which contained an interpolation of part of the 2009 track "Back of My Mind" by Manami and Pharrell. The single charted all over the world, including Canada. "Right Now" was released as the B-side.
