NewJeans Opens Up About What Makes Them Special — 'Our Natural Image is the Key'

NewJeans, the rising sensation in the K-pop scene, recently took center stage on the September 19th episode of KBS 1TV's "KBS News9."

During their appearance, the members of NewJeans engaged in a heartfelt reflection on their remarkable journey as a group and shared their ambitious aspirations for the future.

Since making their dazzling debut in July of the preceding year, NewJeans has rapidly ascended the ranks to become one of the leading girl groups of the 4th generation in K-pop.

Their trajectory to stardom has been punctuated by a string of consecutive hit songs, including chart-toppers like "Attention," "Hype Boy," and "Ditto." However, it was their 2023 release, "Super Shy," that elevated their popularity to unprecedented heights.

This infectious single not only dominated domestic music charts but also made waves on the international stage.

A historic moment in their career occurred when NewJeans became the first K-pop girl group to mesmerize a colossal audience of 70,000 fans at the illustrious Lollapalooza festival.

NewJeans' Authentic Appeal: Minji Credits Their Natural Image

During the interview, Danielle, a member of NewJeans, expressed her profound appreciation for the overwhelming response to "Super Shy."

She particularly cherished the memory of witnessing the enthusiastic crowd at the Lollapalooza festival wholeheartedly enjoying their performance. It was a poignant testament to the global reach of their music and the powerful connection they shared with their international fanbase.

When questioned about their expectations regarding their meteoric rise to fame, Danielle candidly admitted her astonishment at the speed of their ascent.

Yet, she emphasized that the unwavering love and support from their devoted fans serve as a constant reminder of their success.

Minji, another integral part of NewJeans, reflected on her initial belief in the group's boundless potential from the moment she first connected with her fellow members.

However, she humbly acknowledged that the velocity and extent of their recognition surpassed even her optimistic expectations.

The conversation then turned to the distinct charm that has captivated K-pop enthusiasts worldwide.

Minji attributed this allure to NewJeans' natural image, emphasizing their sincerity and authenticity, both on and off the stage.

These qualities set them apart in an industry often characterized by manufactured personas. Haerin, offering a poetic analogy, likened NewJeans to clouds.

Much like clouds that assume various shapes and interpretations depending on the observer, the group's free-spirited essence allows fans to connect with their music in diverse and personal ways.
