A Night of Triumph and Talent

Stepping onto the stage to accept their well-deserved accolade, the members of NewJeans - Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein - extended heartfelt gratitude to their devoted fans and shared their sentiments.
Reflecting on their journey, Minji expressed:
"Last year, we won Best K-pop Song at this awards with our debut song ‘Attention'. This year, we have taken a step further with ‘Ditto', a song we participated in producing, so it is even more precious and meaningful to us".
Eager Anticipation for the Future
Looking ahead with optimism and eagerness, Minji articulated the group's readiness for new challenges and growth.
She affirmed, "I believe that NewJeans is always prepared for a new beginning. I and the members have experienced and learned a lot since last year, but there are still so many things we don't know and have to learn. That's why we are very excited and curious about the next step of NewJeans. Please look forward to the future of NewJeans and continue loving us".
Echoing Minji's sentiments, Hanni expressed gratitude to their dedicated fanbase, known affectionately as Bunnies, for their unwavering support. She also extended appreciation to their CEO and all those who embraced "Ditto".
