NewJeans Becomes Trendsetters of Y2K Fashion Following Debut

Following NewJeans' surprise debut under HYBE's subsidiary, ADOR, back in August of this year, the rookie girl group has been making waves across social media for not only their addicting and catchy songs, the members' visuals, but also for their fashion sense.

The five-piece girl group has since then been iconic for their Y2K fashion, known for their trendsetting styles despite their rookie status in the industry; capturing fans' attentions by mixing nostalgia with a modern take.

So far, the group and their stylists have been showered with praise for their outfits, as not only are they trendy, but they are also age-appropriate for the NewJeans members, whose ages range between 14 years old to 18 years old in international reckoning.

Other netizens felt that their outfits were a perfect representation of Y2K fashion, while some thought the group's styling was becoming confusing and losing its direction.

Some even noted that they were only able to pull of their outfits due to their young ages, while others began wondering if the group's stylist has changed.
