While NewJeans' new song "Zero" has been earning love from music fans, media and older K-pop fans can't help but be reminded of this iconic BIGBANG x 2NE1 song.
NewJeans' Achievements With Ad Campaign Song 'Zero'
Although NewJeans' new track "Zero" is an ad campaign song for Coca-Cola, its feats are truly impressive!
Despite it being a campaign song, the public response is truly massive. K-Netz and fans left rave reviews.
- "The song is fun and good."
- "It's so addictive."
- "I'm repeating this song"
- "Isn't this enough to trust and listen to NewJeans?"
Amid the attention it was receiving, NewJeans' new song reminded people and the media of BIGBANG x 2NE1's CM (commercial music) song, "Lollipop."
Just like the rookie group, the two legendary second-gen groups also dropped the song in 2009 when they were still rookies, yet it became a hit.
While NewJeans released "Zero" for Coca-Cola, "Lollipop" was ad music for LG's mobile phone of the same unit at the time.
Once it was released, it swept the top of local charts as well.
The only difference was how "Lollipop" concealed its promotional lyrics as newer fans will most likely think of a sweet candy first rather than a mobile phone, unlike "Zero," which openly included "Coca-Cola" in its lyrics.
