NewJeans

The name NewJeans is said to compare the group to a pair of jeans, a timeless item people wear every day, expressing the hope of becoming a group that defines its era. The name is also described as a play on "new genes," which sounds the same in English. In Korean it is read as "Nyujinseu."

NewJeans debuted on July 22, 2022, with the song "Attention." The group drew attention by releasing a music video first, without the usual long run of teasers before debut. In a short time after debut, the group gained wide interest both in Korea and abroad.

NewJeans is under ADOR, a label within HYBE. Official announcements about the group's activities come through ADOR and the group's official channels. If you want to know about future plans, it is best to check the agency's official notices rather than relying on rumors circulating online.

As of November 2026, NewJeans is on a hiatus as a group. Group activities have been on hold since March 2025, and future plans have not yet been confirmed. The safest way to get accurate updates is to follow announcements from the agency and the group's official channels instead of unverified reports.

The official NewJeans fandom name is "Bunnies." The name refers to rabbits and is known to connect with the bunny image that has served as a symbol of the group. Fans who support NewJeans call themselves Bunnies, and the name is widely used in fan communities around the world.

Alongside the debut song "Attention," NewJeans' widely known songs include "Hype Boy," "Ditto," "OMG," and "Super Shy." Several tracks became popular within a short period and helped define the group's sound. If you are new to the group, listening to these songs in order is a good place to start.

NewJeans is known for relaxed, natural-sounding pop. Many of its songs are described as blending a retro mood reminiscent of the 2000s with light touches of R&B and rhythms such as Jersey club. Rather than an intense concept, the group has leaned toward an everyday, approachable image in its music and visuals.

Since debut, NewJeans is known to have received several honors at major year-end music awards in Korea, including rookie awards. The group also appeared on international music charts and drew global attention. For exact award titles and years, it is best to check the official announcements of each awards ceremony.

If you are new, start with the most widely known songs such as the debut track "Attention" and "Hype Boy." Then move on to "Ditto," "OMG," and "Super Shy" to get a natural sense of how the group's mood has evolved. Watching the official music videos alongside the songs helps you understand the group's visual style too.

The most reliable sources are official statements from ADOR and notices on the group's official channels. While the group is on hiatus, many unverified rumors can circulate, so checking official sources first is wise. Streaming existing songs on official music platforms and official video channels is also a meaningful way to show support.
