In the dynamic landscape of K-Pop, where success often comes with years of hard work and dedication, one group has defied the odds and set new standards for rapid achievement.

NewJeans, the quintet known for their Y2K styling and infectious melodies, has not only captured the hearts of fans worldwide but has also rewritten the record books with their unprecedented success.

💮In styling I think it’s safe to say NewJeans mainly goes for a solid Y2K & 90’s blockette while ILLIT is a soft webcore and a coquette dream core with a tinge of horror coquette. pic.twitter.com/I4sEA5CLL6

Within just months of their debut, NewJeans made headlines by clinching their first Daesang (Grand Prize) at the prestigious 2022 Asia Artist Awards.

Priceless Newjeans reaction.

This remarkable feat shattered the previous record for the shortest time taken by a K-Pop group to earn such a prestigious accolade, surpassing the achievement of the legendary Miss A.

But their journey to the top didn't end there.

In a recent episode of tvN's "You Quiz On The Block," NewJeans offered a glimpse into their world, sharing insights into their rigorous debut preparations and the overwhelming success that followed.

A key figure in their narrative is ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin, whose guidance and leadership have played a pivotal role in the group's meteoric rise.'

Min Hee Jin, affectionately referred to as the honorary mom by the members, has been instrumental in nurturing NewJeans' talent and vision.

They also gave all the members the same pajamas. They called me Hanni’s Korean Motherㅠㅠ😭#newjeans pic.twitter.com/p2zojdqSDH

Her mentorship, coupled with the unwavering support of their respective parents, laid the foundation for the group's instant success, a rare phenomenon in the competitive realm of K-Pop.

I know people hate on HYBE for a million of reasons, but the fact they debut rookies debt free now and they actually start earning straight away is actually something that needs to become the industry standard. https://t.co/lvbhXRXovI

Unlike many of their peers who endure years of financial uncertainty, NewJeans saw their hard work translate into tangible rewards early on.

Remarkably, the members received their first paycheck a mere two months after their debut, a testament to the fair and transparent practices upheld by ADOR and their parent company, HYBE LABELS.

The significance of this milestone cannot be overstated in an industry where stories of idols struggling with debt and financial instability are all too common.

Former SONAMOO member Euijin and Ladies' Code's Ashley are just a few examples of idols who faced financial hardships even after years of dedication to their craft.

As NewJeans continues to captivate audiences with their infectious energy and undeniable talent, their journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring idols and a reminder of the transformative power of mentorship and fair treatment in the entertainment industry.

The way with idols from HYBE, the money from their music goes to their pockets and them having no trainee debt is a plus, not that many idols can say that and it’s sad https://t.co/ZTcYS4zmWw
